Mr. and Mrs. Sidney Alderman of Greensboro and their daughter Frances came to Chapel Hill Sunday for a few hours’ stay. They were accompanied by Mademoiselle Suzanne Stick, Mrs. Alderman’s sister, who came over from France a few weeks ago, and by Miss Marguerite Alderman. Frances Alderman is 3 ½ years old. When she was in Chapel Hill last spring it was chronicled that she spoke English and French alternately, with equal facility, but it appears that she has about given up French now. Her unwillingness to speak the language Sunday may have been due, however, to her not liking the queer sounds made by a Chapel Hillian who sought to address her in what he thought was French.
