Guard Against I.eiegancies OF speech.

"Lapses Ia grammef do not offend
when they are made by the illiterate
who have not been taught propriety
of speech. But they are exceedingly
disgraceful in the educated person, "
writes Margaret E. Sangster, in the
May Ladies' Home Journal. Beyond
mere correctness of expression there
is such a thing as a beautiful choice
of words, and there are hall-marks OF
culture which the rich vocabulary
shows, while the meagre one convicts
Of ignorance and poverty Of resource.
Colloquialisms and provincialisms are
caught by those who live constantly
among the unlearned, but the
influences of this contact may be
modified by daily study of the words,
as In lexicon or the saurus, and by
the habitual reading Of good books,
Insensibly we acquire the speech OF
our associates, and favorite author,
IL he belong to the aristocracy Of the
literary guild, is one of the best
associates we can have"
