39 desire to be one of your members for the sake of my ancestry, and for the sake especially of the uncle after whom I was named, who was one of the noblest men I have ever known. If he had been my father instead of being my uncle it would havebeen all right, so far as eligibility- to the Holland Society is concerned. But while every drop of his blood was Dutch, in my case it is only every other drop, and that is maternal blood-which does n't count. While we are speaking of names I would say, en passamzf, that the large number of Dutch names of places, steamships, etc., ending in a syllable that has an imprecatory sound are not even remotely intended to -suggest profanity, and therefore the movement to replace this syllable by a deprecatory stroke is entirely unnecessary and uncalled for. I am led to make this remark from sympathy with a demure young lady, in one of our cross-town cars, who asked the conductor for a transfer to Amster- dash Avenue g and when the conductor didn't seem to know 'what she meant she stammered again, Amster-dash Avenue 5 my father will not let me say the other word. I could have thrashed that father ! u But, to our toast. y If you call that a toast I call it a plate of toast well piled up, and buttered at that. But it is only in consonance with the entire history and achievements of Holland in the past that so small a country should evoke so large a toast. The Dutch character is favorable to the prose- cution of discoveries. It is characteristic of the Dutchman that he goes slow but always gets there., The only exception to this, which 1135 become historical, is the Flying Dutchman, who ffied 3 more rapid method of progression and never got there ! y
