that 1t has been found impossible to Keep q

guagls;; She uses words with delIeacy ana
with ,unerrinc accuracy, She is led by in
stinct to perceive their fitness to give prefer;
ence to those which appear. to- her graceful
and euphontous. and to avoid their opposites.
Her admirable command OF words and the
various shades OF their meaning. combined
with the Quickness OF the operation Of her |
mental faculties. enables her to arrange them
with remarkable ingenuity and compose
puzzles. riddles. md the like"
Here il one of her charades:
In storm but not in thunder.
In tempest but not in wind.
In ilynlii but not IN song.
In silent. nut not In mute
In compound. but not In mixture
In cunning hut not In cute.

There Ia not only striking appropriateness. |
but peculiar freshness In them: Her charac.
