paper would waste an inch Of space on
his foolish ignorance? And yet this split
inlinitive nonsense is taken quite seri-
ously by editors who are sufficiently
good writer's to repeatedly use it them
selves.
The infinitive is mood in which tie
position of the adverb cannot possibly
produce ambiguity; consequently the
order Of the words is not matter Of
grammar, but Of style, Of which the ear
is the only arbiter. The ear often de-
mands the split infinitive and will have
it in spite of all the silly people who do
not know what style means.
When these infinite insects are dis
posed Of, you will no doubt be attacked
in due course by the even more impu-
dent impostors who, though they pro-
nouDce the word ''color" SO as to rhyme
with ''daller, and never hear it and
never have heard it and never will hear
it pronounced in any other way, from
time to time pretend to be shocked
when it is spelt withouta "u.'' trust
you will always insist on these nui-
sances definitely stating whether they
pronounce it or ''honor'' or "neighbor"
or favor or behavior SO as to
rhyme with ''our'' or poor" as the
case may be, or whether they are merely
bogus Notwithstanding belated
Johnsons.
In either case you will be justified in
recommending them to the care of their
relatives and suppressing their bah

it is asserted that the great majority of their
patrons who ask for game at all prefer to have
it fresh. Indeed. The managers of such places
are unwilling to keep game that is lot so; and.
furthermore. they do not wish to have it be
