"Dear Bob--

Bob, I want you to be the very first to know that I am engaged to
Richard Roe. I want you to like him, Bob, because he is a fine
fellow and I would rather have you like him than any one I know.
I feel that he and I shall be very happy together, and I want you
to be the first to know about it. Your friendship will always
remain one of the brightest things in my life, Bob, but, of
course, I probably won't be able to go to the Aiken dance with
you now. Please don't tell anybody about it yet. I shall never
forget the happy times you and I had together, Bob, and will you
please return those silly letters of mine. I am sending you
yours."

Nothing so completely betrays the "Cockney" as a faulty knowledge
of sporting terms. The young lady at the left has just returned
from the hunting field hand-in-hand with the dashing "lead," who
happens to be an eligible billionaire. Her hostess, the mother of
the sub-deb at the right, has greeted her by hissing, "S--o--o! I
see you've had a good day's hunting!" The use of this
unsportsmanlike expression--in stead of the correct "Hope you had
a good run," or "Where did you find?"--at once discloses the
hostess's mean origin and the young lady will almost certainly
never accept
another invitation to her house.}
