A small green enamelled star worn in the coat-lapel signifies that the wearer is an Ksperantist. Some such badge is necessary to those who wish to use. the. new language, particularly when (.ravelling in foreign countries. H is in this case that the Esperantisl wants his language, and were it not for a sign that means ■■Esperanto spoken here/ he might wander all through Kurope and not have the opportunity of exercising his linguistic abilities. At Home and on the Continent many Espi-rantists have ii small green Mar painted over the door to intimate to an concerned that Esperanto is known and spoken within. The green star to the Kspemutisl is equivalent to tiie peculiar handshake of the members of the Masonic fraternity.
