"Hnve you been over here long?" nsked tho American girl, just for tho sake of starting conversation. "No, wo came out only Inst 'month." " 'Came out' Is a lovoly phrase," thought tho American, "and English people always use It in reference to this country. Here wo 'go out' as mis-slnnniles mis-slnnniles to tho heathern In China and tho Philippines I wonder If tho obvious obvi-ous Inference holds good?" But sho smiled, nnd nsked the Englishwoman how sho liked America. "Oh," was tho resigned reply, "when we came out wo made up our minds to bo quite philosophical, don't you know!" |
