LONDON'S INFECTIOUS
ACCENT.
MR PETT RIDGE'S AMUSING STORIES.
Is London's accent" catebing " In the opinion of Mr. W. Pett Ridge it is, and it is to be found amongst provin cials and strangers from overseas. Speaking at a meeting of the London Head Teachers' Association t the Esex Hall, Strand, the distinguished dovelist declared that in many of the Home Counties it was in evidence, and the Australian soldiers who came over in the war brought an almost perfect imitation The Londoner used the aspi rate when he was speaking to those whom he regarded as his social superiors -and then to convey the impression that be, too, had not escaped a univer sity education. (Laughter.) London had a right to an accent of its own, though we all knew that the really prosperous people spoke with a Scottish accent. (Laughter.). He had also heard that ambitious young politicians cultivated the rising inflection of Wales. (Laughter.)
Mr. Pett Ridge told a story of a Can- ning Town woman whose daughter was not very bright. The mother once observed plaintively to him. “I. con't make it out. I've had er vaccinated, and I've ad er confirmed, but nothink sears to brighten "er up." (Laughter.) Abus conductor of his acquaintance de cided to give due weight to the syllables of the various place-names on his route. The effort lasted for one journey only,' said the speaker, " for when he called out, in correct ones, Highgate, High- gate, a woman came up to him, prodded him with an umbrella, and asked, " Young man, does this go to Igate (Laugh. ter.)

"Exterminate the London accent s gently as possible," "wia "Mr." Pett Bidge's final advice, "for its possession is a sign that one belongs to a great city for which millions would never lose a deep love and regard."" (Cheers.)
PRINCE AND GIRL.
SOME REMINISCENCES.
The Saturday Evening Post says One of the most recent of these com- ments attributed to the English Heir- Apparent had to do with the frequency with which Americans, addressed him directly as "Prince," or "even
Say, Prince."
They princed ine so much, he is quoted as saying, that alter little while I felt that instead of speaking I should bark."
And of all the remarks made to him Americans, the most amusing to him. he is further quoted as saying, occurred in the course of a function given in his honour during his brief visit to our Western coast. On that occasion the Prince told one of the matrons directing the affairs that he would be delighted to meet a particularly attractive young, Indy, who for some time had been gazing his way from afar. The pretty girl was brought forward and presented to royalty.
I confess, Miss Blank," the Prince said gallantly to the young lady," that I have been watching you with interest all evening.
Explosively, fervently, the Western girl made reply!..
"Prince," she said, "when it comes to watching, you sure got nothing on me!??
