The cubicle I investigated, and found it to be a tiny bedroom. The annual sermon, I found on inquiry, did not mean only one sermon a year, The fall I bought, and it proved to be a veil. Lastly I refused to have anything to do with a steam roundabout when it turned out to be a rampant merry-go-round. Still, on the whole, I had little serious trouble in understanding what was said to me. It needed only a little ingenuity and a few questions to get at the English meaning. When it came to making the English understand me, however, it was a very different matter. I found them anything but agile in interpreting unfa- miliar phrases. It was only after repeated failures to persuade the 'bus conductor to “let me out” at a specific crossing that I learned to say “put me down,” which worked like a charm. I asked a booking clerk_for stopover privileges, and he stared in amazement. I might “break the journey” if I liked, but what did I mean by “stop over?” ‘“‘Return trip"” only served to elevate everybody’'s eyebrows. I soon learned to replace it with “How much for the round?”’ Nobody understood me when I asked how many blocks or squares it was to the cathedral. But if I sald, “Can’ you direct me to the cathedral?” out came the concise reply, “Top of the street, second turning to the left. You can’t miss it."” In Warwickshire I tried to send my too cumbersome trunk ahead by express. The porter assured me this was impossible—there was no such in England. “Freight?’ No, he didn’t know anything about freight. It took the pene- tration of the hotel porter to fathom my difficulty and supply the magic words “goods train.’ In London I attempted to buy a pair of silver cuff buttons. “I don’t think we have the article, madam, said the perplexed clerk. ‘‘Sleeve but- tgns No better. “Cuff buttons, sleeve links?” 8till no success. hings to fas- ten your cuffs with!” I cried at last in desperation. Slowly a light broke over his countenance. ‘““Ah!” - he exclla.lmed, ‘“‘you mean solitaires!” and he didn’t mean diamonds, either. gain, needing a paper fan for steamer use, I inquired at a pharmaceutical chem- ist ‘'shop where fans were to be found, and was directed to a fruiterer and florist hard by.

Kipling says—and who is more indisput- { able authority than Kipling?—that the American people have no language, and also that they delude themselves into the belief that they talk English. If any | American resents these statements let | him go spend the summer on John Bull's | snug little island. Then let him, if he | can; protest that there is reality in tha “mutual comfort of the mother tongue.” | Let him say if he finds it any joke to un- | derstana plain English, or to make his | crude “American” understood. | It isn’t alone the accent, hor vet the | inflection, which makes the English of Gambling among the women of Salt Lake has reached the stage of importance where the proprietors of one of the best- known Commercial-street houses have concluded to cater specially to this class of patrons. For several weeks a room has been nightly opened to the gentler sex. There, away from the public gaze, they woo the fickle goddess of chance with all the ardor and quite the gameness of the masculine fraternity, says the Salt Lake Herald. *Yes, it is true that women come up to gamble privately at times,” said one of the owners of this resort. ““Of course I can give no names, but you would be as- tonished at the class of patronage we have. Women of all sorts, from society ople out on a slumming tour down to nmates of the houses of ill-fame, like to take a chance at the wheel or a dash at the faro bank. “In an experience of more than twenty years I can bear testimony that women are, as a rule, better gamblers than men. That is, they take their losses more philosophically and they don’t grow hys- ferically happy when they win. “Systems? 0, women don't seem to play any sys- tems. They drop their checks down hap- hazard and without regard to sequence. | “They pln{rtut, too, when things begin coming thelr way. It hasn't been ten days since 'a woman beat us out of $600 at the wheel. She started with one stack of five-cent chips, playing one at a time ‘flat’ — that is, on single numbers. She won several bets and then began what is It is the very definite and inflexible way of saying things. They speak by the code. When it rains it is “a dull day, isn’t it?” When the thermometer mounts into-the elghties it is “‘close.” The weather | 1s “thick” when the mist creeps over the | landscape, or “fine”” so long as it does | not actually rain. So universally patron- ized are these neat and convenient, if not always adequate, formulas that in using any other expression one feels quite in- decently original. To a London landlady one scorching July day I observed that the morning was ‘hot.” Could you have seen the stare of well-bred amazement with which she replied irreproachably, “It is close,” you would not wonder that I registered a vow to try my own methods no_more.

I hastily ex- lained and was directed to the estab- Rshment of H. Quick & Son, silk mercers, linen drapers, haberdashers and uphol- sterers, where I found my article in the ifronmongery department. Perplexing, even vexatious, as are these misunderstandings, they are not without their compensation. If our conversational differences with our cousins overseas could all be smoothed into tame uniform- hrase is intelligible enough, but strange. or instance, when you are told that the yelling mob of public school boys who | pack the trains on the 1st of August are going home for the “haulidays” you get a momentary shock. We have the holidays so closely assoclated with frosts and Christmasing_that it 1s hara to realize | that the word may be properly applied to | the dog days. Again, when the landlady |at an inn, In answer to your request for rooms, plumps out her ready-made phrase “We're full up!” there is no chance for 2-cent checks. “When she quit she cashed in $600, as I have said. No, she didn’t seem excited. rather tn.klnf her good luck as a matter of course. It'strue this fmlcula.r player only stood to lose $1, but I have seen them lose hundreds without batting an eye. The play among the women of Salt Lake is not so extensive as it is in other places, but it {s becoming more popular here all the time. ““It is a rare thing to have one come up here without an escort.

For myself I found the exercise most congenial. There is a certain amount of phlloso‘?hy to be derived from all this. In the first place, never expect an Englishman {o meet you half way in the struggle for perspicuity. On the invader must lie the onus for accommodation. Therefore, set about ac“ul the language as promptly as possible, up the accepted English phrases, the accent, and even the odd up- ward lilt of the sentence, and your prog- ress through the island will be wonder- fully smoother than that of your wooden- headed countryman who refuses to abate one tittle of his Yankee vernacular.—Bos- ton Transcript. ————————————— Notice to Mariners.

When, on the dizzy top of my first London ’bus, an inoffensive look- ing English woman turned to me and said stiffly, “Thank you!” I did n8t under- stand her. Twice she repeated with stern emphasis, “Thank you!” and half rose from her seat. Then I saw that she wanted to pass me. The remark was a request the first time, a command the second. But how, pray, was an Ameri- can to know that? Even the simple words “up” and_“down” proved too much for me when I found them marking the plat- forms of a suburban station. Being bound | for the north I selected the side placarded | “Up Trains.” Presently a porter came to | me and demanded abruptly, “Where for?”’ “York,” said I. A shade of melan- | choly crossed his face. “You'll 'ave to cross the line by the bridge, miss; this is [the hup side.” "I protested 1 was going | due north, and would by no means take | a down train. “Well, you be going from | London, be'ant you, miss?”’ retorted the porter, as if that settled it. And, indeed, it' @id. North, south, east or west, it's “up” to London and “down” to everys thing else in the island. On another oc- casion I came near being dashed to death by & pursuing hansom, because, forsooth, 1 stood still when the driver yelled ‘““Hi} hi!” To me, “Hi!"” meant “Hold on, there, I want to speak to you,” so I incontinent- ly drew up. Five of these mystifying Women here, as elsewhere, prefer rou- lette to faro or any other game. For one thinil, it 1s simpler. ““There are so many combinations at faro, and it is so hard for a novice to keep cases on the cards as they come out of the box that they won’t take time to learn it. In roulette, on the other hand, all there is_to it is betting money or checks on numbers, on the coiumns, the colors, odd even, the twelves and other meth- ods that are apparent from a glance at thé layout.” The room in which Salt Lake women may gamble is fitted out in elaborately handsome style.

Of course it is aiso available for the festive game of poker. £ Next comes the racehorse game.

Opposite the racehorse is probably the handsomest roulette wheel in Salt Lake. It is painted in the freshest and brightest colors, and |s as clean as constant rub- bing will make it. The checks on the rack at the dealer's rtht are spotless also. The faro layout {s also attractive. —In- stead of being covered with oileloth, as most faro tables are, this one has hand- some billiard cloth stretched over it where the players rest their arms. The outfitting of the room Is said to have cost over . The lighting is perfect. There are three electroliers, each con- taining half a dozen incandescents. Then there are lights without number directly over the tables, and in radiant brightness the making of a mistake in placing checks is practically impossible. Native Sons. Upon the suggestion of James B. Sto- vall, the good of the order committee of California Parlor has inaugurated a se- rles of discussions, debates and other en- tertaining features to be presented every Thursday evening. At the close refresh- ments will be served. The first of these was on last Thursday evening, when Messrs. Shea, Wolf, Dockery, Adams, Dr. Conrad and A. Mayer discussed “the great men of Californfa.” James P. Dockery explained at some length why he consid- ered the late Stephen M. White, the late Dr. J. F. Morse, Grand President Frank L. Coombs, C. H. Garoutte and General James F. Smith among the great men of the State. During the evening James P. Dockery, Myron Wolf and J. F.

Last Thursday night Pacific Parlor gave its annual dinner at the California Hotel and had for special ests a number of the grand officers. ere was a large gathering of the members and a very leasant evening was spent. Rolland oche, chairman of the good of the order committee, introduced President John, F. Cannon, who in a very clever manner ful- fllled the duties of toastmaster. Those who responded to sentiments were Frank L. Coombs, L. F. Byington, D. A. Ryan, C. E. McLaughlin, L. Gallagher, Charles Boxton, Henry Lunstedt, Henry 8. Martin, 8. V. Costello, E. J. Lynch, S. A. D. Jones, John Greaney, Judge George H. Cabaniss, Leonard Stone, T. P. Mar- tin, Ted Lunstedt, D. L. Fitzgerald, C. J. Hegerty and George G. Fraser.

Secretary Kohn acted as commis- sary. The “Once a Month Club™” of this lodge, composed of a select number and having Jim Dunne for president, at its meeting last week decided to have a petit souper exclusively for the members. At the last held meeting of the lodge it was decided to tender the peanut stand to Col- onel Beck on the occasion of the Eiks' session in the Alhambra. He will prob- ably accept if Colonel Burgin will assist. | —_—— Enights and Ladies of Honor. Grand Protector Whitten is preparing his list of standing committees and Ilist | of deputies.
