have taken up the Bnbutut language a. q
craze and are learning to speak II n con'i-
IDENTIFY and nuently as they do English, "
First word as to the Bubutul tongue and
another as 10 New York's highest circles.
The Bubutut language il n Yankee notion
originally used by New England girls and
Harvard and Yale students, as Tallcy-
rand said all language was employed, "to
conceal thought" though in This instance
the coucealment was from strangers, in
truders, parents, or children who hap
pened about when young folks wanted to
confer in private. The old "hog Latin
was too simple. Every one understood II.
The Bubutut method is much more compN'
Gated. II YOU want to say "Let's take a
walk" in hog Latin you say, "Letsgry
takegry agry walSgrv," but in Bnnuiu,
you would say, Luhe-tut-sus tuta-kuhl
a wur.a.luI-ku6."
ANY one who is bright will comprehend

minutes, hut it would take month of sun
days-or 'steen years, rs the gifted Yankee
girls who talk IL would Sly-tO grasp the
scheme of the BUbutut tongue when It i
spoken as rapidly as an adept learns TO Use

sveling of words with the following alpha'

for those who are not part OF thoS" circles
here don't know anything at all about what
happens in them, not even the newspaper

exclusive society, but We are being ml>led
every time. The Nanderbiit>, Clouds, aud
the resi- that are forever mentioned IN the
p9ICts do not constitute the tOp-holch So
ciciy, aud some Of them never participate
in its affairs. The set to which the title
..Eirhest circle" belongs j. in reality eN'
elusive and very quiet. II gives no dinners

fame deem the arisiocratic part OF town.
And nobody knows better than those who
figure in the IaperS as society rulers that
there is a circle whose members consider
themselves higher yet in social rank. AMI
what those latter folk are talking i no more
reporied than Bubutut is. Are they really
any better than those we read Of: Probt-
bly not. They certainly have not 80 mucn

clusiVcs owe everything 20 the deld and
nothing to their own abilities.
