SLANG SHOULD BE USED VERY LIGHT;
LY AND WITH DIsCRETION.

There is fashion in slang, as in
everything elsei and that used by the
youth OF to-day is not the same as
that employed by their parents when
they were yuuny says Harper's Bazar.
But, although slang muy change, it
never goes out OF fashion. Aud think
may safely state that among young
people it was never more deplorably
popular than it is now. II Is argued
that there is no harm in it, and when
only used occasionally among select
few who know each other well, this
may be true. But one harmful thing
about it all Is that the habit Of slangy
speech is easily contracted and that 10
