AbbreviatiOns on Letters.



Everybody Is more or less familiar with
certain of these authorizations Some
parts of them are formed according TO
rules which hold good anywhere. Noun
tain Is reduced to Mt. and creek to OK
as they are on the maps. But the alb
brevlation does not stop here. 1t makes
pear as nd" and wood" as "wd.'' a
good share of it consists in the leaving
out OF vowels which may be guessed at,
part OF 1t occurs through hasty writing
and the rest is deliberately practiced Ia
avoid too much work. Many men ALWAYS
write Chicago "Chgo." others write 1t
with simple &C." ending in a. picture
OF a worm on wet sidewalk or some
similar mark. Within the city there is no
danger of the letters going wrong for
anything which looks like nothing else is
taken TO be an attempt at Chicago
IN the same way Boston appears as
"Bstn., Marblehead as "Mblhd." and Bir-
mingham as "Bmghm." With the help
of the name of the state these are eas-
lly guessed at. To the eye of the clerk
the short cuts are all as expressive AS
the name fully written, though to an in
experienced outsider some of them appear
blank enough. Frisco" of course is
generally recognized as San Franc,sco's
full name "Cinciti, Ohoho,' however,
does not seem SO clear, until one drags
Cincinnati out of the first combination of
letters, when Ohio suddenly appears IN IN
the latter. "Jaxon, Mich" Is another
line. 1t is simply using the shorter of
Jackson" i'Dyrkirk.'' after a mom nome
study, stands forth as Deer Creek, but
kazoo' is harder. Still, by the aid of
the Mich" appended to it, il NAV he
guessed that the middle of the word has
been dropped out, and that in full 1t reads
Kalamazoo"
There is another and more complicated
method of abbreviation. however, which
Is much used. 1t substitutes a sign for
a syllable, or even a whole word or a
single letter for group of letters giving
the same sound. To one used to reading
1t, IL IS easier than the dropping of VOW
els. La X shows up readily as La
Crosse, though one not expecting any such
transformation might puzzle over the
thing for some time 1t is harder to find

summer girl keep pace with the verses
that are being written for her she will
become the paragon of perfection which
summer spring water is supposed to make.
The songs are not for the glass convivial,
like a mans drinking songs, by any
means, but for the cup of sparkling
spring water that cheers because it is
such a very good thing for the health.
The Saratoga girl has her rhymes, also
the Newport, the Richfeld and the girls
of the other resorts. Each place has its
own poetic fancy. To collect these is the
present hobby.
One of these drinking songs of summer
is written for the Saratoga girl and it
was the work of a girl who goes there ev-
cry summer. 1t is in the Poetic Album"
of a very extreme girl who copies all the
new things with much gusto, and its lines
run very well considering that they are
amateurish effort. They should be pasted
upon the fan of every girl who goes out
for her early morning glass of water:
Up in the morning. gray and cool,
For cup of sparkling water;
The spring is a Lethe, crisp and clear,
And 1 her daring daughter,
In thy depths, cup, is forgetfulness;
Drink and remember naught,
A God-given draught for the summer girl
With the havoc she has wrought.
But in the depths of thy bubbling cup.
One thing leave thou for mel
Take if thou canst all else away,
But memory OF summer and thee!
The way to manage a good springwater
drinking song is to paste it in ones al
bum-very neat little books come now for
poetic illusions, as they used to in the
days of Fanny Fern-and to carry it TO
the spring on the early morning excur-
sions. After a few minutes at the little
tables, when morning talk begins to lag,
the little book is brought out and the
poems read. If unsteady inclined a few
bars can be written around them and the
summer drinking song poem becomes a
popular song indeed.
In summer there are numerous bellies at

girls, with Carlsbad near them, come

Every summer you can find them there

Perhaps the term red is a misnomer for
