Yale Lingo Suited Him. "I met a funny noncommissioned officer of-ficer by St. Paul's," writes William Colley, an American, in the London Sunday Herald. "'It's your twang that kives you away,' he said. 'Try to talk like us. 'Ere. if I 'ad yoti for a d'y I'd 'ave you talking like a bom Londoner. All yon got to do is forget all 1 licin aitehes, Don't say can't like that. Say cawn't.' "I said it. " 'Now say, 'Gor blimy, 'ow's the missis?' "I did. "'That's right! Oh. you'll soon got Into the swing Of it.' "Nice fellow, wasn't ho? P.ut what we picked up at Yale will see me through."
