ORIGIN OF COCKNEY.

FASHIONABLE ACCENT THAT

WAS DROPPED."

>

Mr. G. T. Blandford gave an in- teresting explanation of the origin of the Cockney accent at the Cam- bridge Summer School recently,

"It is quite possible," he said, "that the Cockney dialect was in- troduced to London as a fashion- able accent, which was dropped by the elite when the common people adopted it."

His explanation was that. King Charles II. used to stay for long periods with Nell Gwynne at her) country house, near Newport, and to while away the time the Royal retinue used to roam the village and mack the unfamiliar accent of the inhabitants. The influence of the villagers' dialect on their own created the accent which later be- came known as Cockmey.

During 1929, according to official statistics, France smoked nearly £25,000,000 worth of tobacco. Paris spent £7,250,000 of this amount, which includes 921 cigarettes per head of the population. Cigarette
