An Unconscious Insult


A FRENCHMAN, who had learned English, wished to lose no opportunity of

saying something pretty. One evening he observed to Lady R., whose dress

was fawn color, and that of her daughter pink, Milady, your daughter is

de pink of beauty.--Ah, monsieur, you Frenchmen always

flatter.--No, madam, I only do speak the truth, and what all de world

will allow, that your daughter is de pink, and you are de drab of

fashion.
