When she was In a temper she talked French, and thus Gid became Quite well acquainted - with the A French language. That is, he could not talk It much, . but he could un derstand it somewhat. So when we found a French I word In . a book or, paper , we t asked - him what It meant, which was more convenient than looking - it up in the lexicon. One day, I. recall, we asked - him the meaning of 'camaraderie," and he .said - It meant; that you ; and the: other fellow liked the same ?klnd . of fishing or maybe you t had both suffered from rheumatism or something. .When we considered that' Gid had learned the French language mostly, while he - was standing ' on one . foot with' an arm held before his ' face we thought he was entitled to a good deal of credit."

Says -the magazine, . "he continued to stick around and success finally crown ed his efforts." To which an opin ion from this neck of the woods is herewith added: V The certain movie actor's efforts may have been crowned with success,, but he is still sticking, around. You may detect, the venom In this or you may not. It is not really very bad venom nothing cobrallEe more on the order of that with which a mosquito loads its stickpin. - O. O.

He may be correct as to the breakdown, bnt probably he Is mistaken on the other count. How ever, whether or not he Is mis taken depends largely on what he means by "a real friend."
