MISUSE OF THE LETTER r.

The west has fewer manneriSms
fewer provinciaIisms, than any other
section Of the country. The westerner
making no pretensiOns to great culture
can visit any section of the land and
cause little remark for divagatiOns
from the standard set by the most
cultivated people of the section he
visits. That which the rest of the
country accepts as the standard OF
correct pronunciation, though seldom
attaining it, characterizes the speech
of the majority of the people of the
west. The west is the only section
that does not badly misuse R. 1t is
south misuse R. They hardly use ii
at all. In the east and many parts Of
the South, r is, in effect, an auxiliary
vowel except at the beginning OF
words. It merely lengthens the pre-
ceding vowel. Occasionally it receives
a distinct vowel sound, that Of Italian
A In many parts of the south it is
not heard at all. While the Georgian
says "befoah,'' his Alabama neighbors
say "befo'," deposing r from its posi-
ton as a vowel, or vowel modifier. In
the west, R is sounded with an ap-
Proclamation of correctness. Yet even
the westerners do not give it its full
value, as do the Irish and Scotch.
Their strong enunciation of the letter
sounds harsh to us, yet, the letter is
intended to be pronounced and it's use
differentiates words liable to be con
fused by the ear. The Anglo-SaXOn
seems to be doing his best to depose
r. Were it not for the influence OF
the Irish and Scotch land the infllI-
ence of these Celts speaking an alien
tongue is pretty powerful, though you
do not often realize it,, R would now
be little more than a written letter, as
silent as initial H in Spanish.-Les-
lies Weekly.

Beauty in the Modern Chorus.

With the development and popular
ity of the modern cnorus a new type
of actress has been evolved.
She is known as the show girl. In
almost every light musical play
there are two, and sometimes more,
show girls, selected for beauty OF
feature and figure, who occupy a
pace midway between the chorus and
the principal performers. They do
not stand in the chorus-line or per
form exactly the same movements,
and they are dressed differently ana
more gorgeously than the chorus
girls.
Managers get great reductions in
the price of the gowns for the chorus
in return for the advertisement the
dressmaker obtains, particularly if
the play in question has the reputa-
ton of setting the fashion. The gar
ments of the show girls are often
obtained below cost, and the
costumers give themselves full swing
in designing and making a show girls
wardrobe elaborate. In the matter of
dress, says a writer in the March
Cosmopolitan, duchesses and chorus
girls are very much alike nowadays
except that the latter are rather
better dressed than the former.

Swift Punishment a Deterrent OF
Crime

The most important duty of any
police force is the control of the
vagrant and criminal classes and the
prevention Of crimes against person
and property. There are many other
and important fields of usefulness,
but unless the force is successful in
dealing with crime it is failure. AS
a deterrent Of crime, nothing is prob
ably more effective than swift and
sure punishment. In England, a
murder trial is completed within a
few weeks, or months at the outside,
after the apprehension Of the &C.
cused, and from the first trial there is
no appeal to a higher court Of review
or appeal The wisdom Of permitting
no appeal in capital cases is ques-
ton which has been widely discussed
and cannot be taken up here, says
Avery D. Andrews, writing for the
Cosmopolitan. Whether wise and
humane or not, it is interesting to
note that the police records show an
astonishingly small number of MUIR
ders in London, and l believe that the
celebrity with which the trials are
conducted has much to do with the
suppression Of this most heinous of
all crimes. According to the official
report of the Commissioner of the
Metropolitan Police, there were re-
ported to the London police only
twenty-four murders in the calendar
year 1901 and this out of a population
of over 100000.
