The Latest Slang Words.

Quite a lot of new slang has been
opened up for trade. This is nearly al
together family slang for the use Of la
dies, and if they wish to be abreast of
the times they will take out their PEN

specimens. "Catouche = is very new
word, and means nice, sweet, pleasant.
Coffee, for instance, may be catouche;
so may John Henry or Eliza Jane.

called Evangeline." If you disap-
prove Of place, or person, or par
ty, you may either refer to it as a

cessive admiration wrecks itself upon
expressions in such words as "balmy,"
harmonious, "gullitive. "Gullitive"
seems to mean a great many things. 1t
is a sort of non-committal word, which
can be used to fill up sentence or ex-
press a doubtful opinion.
