TO LE SOCIABLE OR SOLITARY
William Hwlett Tells of Times When
He Wants to Be Left Alone With
His Thoughts.
Give me the denr blue sky over my
head, anil the green turf beneath my
feet, a winding road .before me, ant a
three hours' march to dinnes-and then
to thinking I It ls hard if I cannot start
some game on these lone heaths. I
laugh, I run, I leap, I sing for jov.
From the point of yonder rolling cloud
I plunge Into my past being, and revel
there, as the sunburnt Indian plunges
headlong into the wave that wafts him
to his native village shore. Then long
forgotten things, like "sunken wrack
OinndSU"lleSS treflsuries." burst upon my
1 T?eer sight Instead nf
iQfr silence, broken by attempts at wit or
dull commonplaces, mine Is that undis
turbed silence of the heart which alone
Is perfect eloquence. No one likes
puns, alliterations, antithesis, argu
ment and analysis better than I do;
but I sometimes had rather be with
out them. "Leave, oh, leave me to
my repose!" I have Just now other
business In hand which would seem
Idle to you, but Is with me "very stuff
0' the conscience." Is not this wild
rose sweet without a comment? Does
not this daisy leap to ray heart set
In Its coat of emerald? Yet If I were
to explain to you the circumstance
that has so endeared it to me, you
would only smile. Had I not better
then keep It to myself and let it serve
me to brood over, from here to yonder
craggy point, and from thence onward
to the far distant horizon? I should
be but bad company all that way, and
ryJherefore, prefer 'being alone. I have
V ft'eri It said that you may, when the
xJuoody fit comes on, walk or ride on
by yourself and indulge your reveries.
But this looks like a breach of man-
uers, a neglect of others, and you are
thinking all the time that you ought
to rejoin your party. "Out upon such
half-faced fellowship," say I. I like
to be either entirely to myself or en
tirely at the disposal of others; to
talk or be silent, to walk or sit, to be
sociable or solitary. Table Talk by
William Hazlett.

FRENCH USE ENGLISH WORD
Academy Which Keeps Language Cor.
rect Decides to Admit "Gentle
man" to the Dictionary.
The French academy, which devotes
long sittings to the task of keeping
the French language absolutely cor
rect, and which regards all foreign
words Introduced Into the language
with horror, lias Just made an excep
tion In favor of an English word,
which Is henceforward to have a place
Jn the official dictionary of France,
ays the London Telegraph. This is
the word "gentleman," which is very
frequently .used In modern writing and
conversation rather than the time
honored gentllhomme, which ordinar
ily means nobleman, but which, In the
new edition of the dictionary, Is to
be described as meaning "a man who
without being noble by race, has lofty
tenements, elegant mnnners, and does
aoble acts." With regard to the word
"gentleman," It Is to be described In
the dictionary as "an English word
someNmPS employed In French In the
metaphorical and moral seuse of the
word gentllhomme."
This Is undoubtedly not the last
time the French academy will be
called upon to give an official welcome
to an English word which has become
current In the French language; for
example, the word "home" Is becoming
t great favorite, and the misuse of
the words "smoking" and "dancing"
for "smoking Jacket" and "dance hall"
fins become so usual thnt the English
origin of the words Is quite forgotten.
