Richard Burwell, of New York, will never cease to regret that the French language was not made a part of his education.

"Really, my dear Sally," he had said when he heard of Nicholas's reception by his daughter, "Juliet must a a be taught to recognise the existence of class. Really, I cannot have her bringing all these people into my house. You must put a stop to it at once, my dear." Mrs. Burwell had smiled placidly as she patted her gray fringe.
