Anglicised French words get queer twists of meaning and pronunciation in these United States. "Fiance" sometimes masquerades as " finance " in pronunciation; and as to meaning, one misapprehension is indicated in this little experience quoted in a current magazine : " Virginia," said Mrs Smith, " have you seen Miss Edith's fiance''" "No, indeed, ma'am," said. Virginia; "hit ain't been in do wash yet." When your child cannot sleep because of cold in the head, use NAZOL. Sprinkle some drops on nightgown or pillow. Quick relief will follow. Sixty doses 1/0.
