SOCIETY SLANG.
Expressions Far from Elegant Are in
Common Use.
New York Evening Sun.


Our ears are becoming so accustomed to
hearing the young as well as the older
members of society use slang that the effect
is not nearly SO startling as it was some
few years ago. 1t is curious to watch the
increase of the use of slang phrases and
expressions. 1t seems to be q habit which
is very easily acquired. How amusing it is
sometimes to note the way in which an old
person will ask the meaning of a certain
word
The other day grandmother was listen
ing attentively at the luncheon table TO the
fun and prattle of her granddaughter and
some of their friends. when the CONVERSE
ton was running on something in this way:

to get introduced to all the rich girls in

that what it means?" from the grand
mother, perfectly satisfied, but not under
standing in the least. Then one of the girls
calls out: "Oh. say, Mollie, have you got
a bid for the Van Swindlerins dance?

fully funny. But / suppose we've been

what are you talking about? A kid and

this time, as one of the other girls inn
mediately breaks in with: We'll I am
mighty glad to hear you say So as 1 con-

is SO exhausted taxing her brain TO try to
find out what the girls are talking about
that she leaves the table very reluctantly
and retires to the drawing room, leaving
them to giggle and talk slang to their
hearts content without being asked any
more questions.
This conversation is no exaggeration. The
girls and young men OF the present day use
slang at home and in society more than
ever before. and It Is IA versz difficult matter
to try to explain the meaning Of some OF
their popular expressions. Take. for IN

LIKE A BOGUS TRILBY.
Could Fiddle Under HypnOtism as
Well as When Not Under 1t.

The Oregonian. spsm
A short time since there arrived in Port
land young gentleman who is very skill
full and artistic performer on the violin On
account of this and other good qualities he
found warm welcome in musical circles,
and frequent gatherings of the musically
inclined were held for his entertainment
and to have the pleasure of listening to his
playing.
On one occasion recently there happened
to be present at one of these gatherings
young lady whom he had not previously
met, and who was also performer of no
small merit on the violin. 1t was arranged
among the party that joke should be
played on the newcomer The evening
passed pleasantly, many beautiful selections
being played on the piano and other in
struments by members of the party, inter
spersed with singing and conversation, the
subject of hynotism being brought up and
discussed at some length, the newcomer ex-
pressing his total disbelief in this occult
science.
just before the time for parting he played
with great feeling and taste one of Bee
thoVens sonatas, which was loudly APP
plauded. Then one of the party remarked
what fine thing it would be If any one
could be hypnotiZed and made to play like
that. Another, who had expressed his be-
some knowledge of the science, said he be-
lieved he could hypnotic any member of
the party and cause him or her to play the
violin, perhaps not so we'll as the last per-
former but passably well. He was at once
urged to make the experiment, but no one
was willing to be experimental upon. Final
~ the young ldOy neHlIOneO was, at the
solicitation of her friends, induced to con-
sent to be hypnotized.
The usual motions were gone through and
she gradually passed into the hypnOtized
state. Then violin and bow were placed
in her hands and she was directed to repro
duce the sonata last played. She went
through the entire piece without an error,
and played it about as well as the gentle
man who had preceded her, to the wonder
and establishment of all, and especially the
first performer. He had not the least idea
that the lady was a violin player, and i'm
agined that there must be more in hypno-
tism than he had supposed. He had his re-
venge later when the joke was explained to
him by remarking that this was a fair
sample of the workings of hypnotism.
