"You offered to teach it to him."
"I gave him a lesson every day for six
months."
"And what were those lessons, oh,
shade of Addison?"
"I only did it for a piece of fun,"
sighed the young man. "It was his in
nocence he knew me to be fresh from
college, and he took me for a savant, au
authority on the gift of tongues. He did
not know that in college we do not con-
public fine ourselves to the classics, so long as
athletics help us to our degree."
"You mean fellow, you taught him all
the slang phrases you knew, and he
thinks them the most elegant English."
"I tell you," peevishly cried Ralph, "I
did it all in fun."
" 'One man's meat,' " said his sister.
"Well, you did not know there was a
daughter in the case."
"Oh, yes, I did," quickly responded
Ralph. "But she was away from home,
and I had no idea of ever meeting her.
When my six months were up, and I
went into Germany, the marquis had
Marie come home, and for several months
more he taught her as. I had taught
him."
"All the slang he had imbibed from
you. When you went again to see him
you met Marie, and at once fell in love
with her."
"She is divine!"
"Of course. I am divine to Tom, I
hope. The upshot of it was that you
proposed and were accspted, and the
marquis at once insisted upon bringing
Marie to visit us, you having enthused
him with your description of our insti
tutions. Marie is certainly charming

"Mother has not met them, tnenr' said
Ralph. "Oh, I remember; she was
dressing when they came. What will
she say when she hears them talk?"
"They may use French," suggested
his sister, twirling her bracelets in a
nervous fashion.
"You forget," cried Ralph, "how
elated the marquis is over his newly ac
quired English he refuses to use any
French since he set his foot on American
soil, and insists that Marie shall do as he
does. And he has a horror of argot or
slang, deprecates its use in France. That
made it all the funnier for me, to teach
him our own, giving Emerson and other
polite writers as authority, while he
inveighed against the ruin of his own
language by the gamin talk of Parisian
streets."
