Various terms convey so much more
than their actual meaning. Little-a
very simple word, yet generally fraught
with endearment, and more than often
coupled with some tender epithet. How
often is heard, what a dear little this

the object OF the criticism is not little
at all-only the adjective is used to imply
approval. There is always a smile and
a gentle tone accompanying II. Essen
TALLY has 1t become the vehicle OF ten

applications are a degeneracy. Think how
great reverence should be evoked by any
reference TO age; yet "old" has become op-

some connections, and "horrid" most COM
