FOR THE GESTURES GO WITH THE TALK Afternoon laaa Has Appearance Sim liar to Three sheets Torn from t enaos Iteport at Ran dom In Park. Just now there are severaj hundred peo ple In Omaha who could endure catarrh of the nose and a touch of eciema between the shoulder blades without a protest. For they have Joined the NesMtt classes, started Friday at the Young Men's Christian as sociation, and are "taking French." They no longer stand upou tbe floor, but upon le plancher; are covered not by the celling, but by le plafond; are surrounded not by the wall, but by le mur; get their light not through the window, but through la fenetre; enter and exeunt not through the door, hut through la porte; sit not upon the chair, but upon la chaise; eat not at the table, but at la table; lenrn not by the book, but by le llvre; write not with the r-en or pencil, but with la. plume or lo crayon; and not upon the paper, but upon le pajiler, v hlch same may te enclosed not In the envelope, but In l'cnveloppe. In short, each declnres "Jo parte francals a la per fection" and expects other people to be lieve It! Yesterday afternoon's clnsa looked like three sheets torn from a census report at random and In the dark. One of the most prominent attorneys In Nebraska sat next to a woman whose renown Is no broader than the circle of friends who have tried her angel food. Another attorney with "specs" and political aspirations was be tween two cherubs from the high school. A patriarch of military title and great prominence In railroad circles had la chalso (tho reader will notice how readily one acquires the habit), directly back of that occupied by a girl of 12. The editor of a society paper shared a corner with people who never break Into hi! columns earlier than the alxth page. The Woman's club waa very largely represented, while as for teachers tres, tres bcaucoup! ninnst ic, I Iiik Ini lc and Otherwise, And they were all straining at the same gymnastics, linguistic and otherwise. The teacher would exclaim "le plafond," and 200 hands would point dutifully ceiling ward; he would exclaim "le plancher," and the same 200 hands would as dutifully be Inverted. Then, Just to "try" them he would point to tho window and exclaim "la porte," where 200 voices would sing out In correction, "Non, non, monsieur!" . "Ah, la fenetre." "Oul, oul. monsieur." And, of course, after that, there couldn't remain any doubt about their knowing what was doing. And the gestures go with tb.3 recitation. They are, perhnps, In some cases, rather peculiar gestures, more suggestive of St. j Vitus' dance than of artful Paris, but to ' date the gestures are as good as the talk, 1 for both are unmistakably new. Neither for both are unmistakably new. the Frenrh shrug nor tho French naaal Is, It Is being made apparent, anything a man should tackle after breakfast with an Idea that he will be able to have It ready to take down town with htm on the 8:30 car. No, Indeed, ce n' est ps!
