shaking the kettle from time to time, so

POSED AS AN AUTHORIZES.
Indiana Woman Accepted Honors as
"Grace S. Richmond"

Kokomo, Ind, July 17.-Mrs. William
Brown has been known here as the
author of the Grace S. Richmond" ar
ticies and stories, and has accepted re-
ceptions and other honors bestowed up
on her by prominent people in the be-
lief that she was the well known writer.
1t now develops that Mrs. Brown is not
the famous Grace S. Richmond but ac-
cording to her confession, is a plagiar-
list. Mr.. and Mrs. E. H. Potter, who
came here from Fredonia, N Y, knew
Grace S. Richmond personally as the
wife of DR.. Richmond of that place. and
laid the matter before Mrs. Browns
husband The latter said he believed all
along that his wife was the author. and
that she was telling an untruth when
she told him she was not. Mrs Brown
says she is glad the truth has come out,
that her conscience had long troubled
her and she was almost unable to stand
the strain.

THE AMERICAN LANGUAGE.
Reasons why Our Mother Tongue
Should Be Called English.

Somebody has been writing to
the New York Sun to protest
against it's being called the Eng
lish language any longer. This
man seems to think that the
Americans have more right to it than
the people who saw it first. Granting
for a moment the absurd premise that
the Americans and the English are
two different peoples it may not be
out of place to mention one or two
reasons why the language should con-
tinue to be called the English.
The chief one is that the English
made the language. Chaucer rescued it
from a weller of French and Saxon.
and gave it form. Spencer wrote his
Faery Queen in it These pioneers of
English are still studied and admired
in American universities. Shakespeare
made use of it to produce the greatest
dramas in the world. AS late as the
end of the nineteenth century there was
great theatrical manager in New
York-perhaps the greatest-who pre-
scented Shakesperean plays. in English
at that. and at great profit, to Arneri-
can audiences. This seems to indicate
that Americans still take an antiGuar-
ian interest in the language. Milton, if
we remember rightly, found it good
enough to employ in paradise Lost,
and a few other metrical trif1es. He
also wrote a prose masterpiece in it.
the Areopagitica, the Freedom of the
Press, on which the United States has
acted, although the essay was couched
in a foreign language.
There are people even in New York.

SOCIETY IN KISSING GAMES
st. Louisans Discuss Function Given
in Aristocratic Suburb.

st. Louis July 17.-Society in the ar
istocratic suburb of Kirkwood is dis
cussing function given at the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. James L. Blair, where 20
couples in juvenile costumes played old
time kissing games. Mrs. Blair declines
to give out the list of her guests, saying
it was an informal affair intended to
make those present forget their trou-
bles. Among the guests were said to
be some of the most prominent people
of the city of both sexes.
All the Women's dresses were short
and made in childish fashion with
guimpes and Gretchen slips. A we'll
known capitalist made a hit in the cos
tune of a 2year-Old.
Mrs. Blair is one of the leading society
women of the city. She is president of
the Choral society and president of the
board of lady managers of the Louisi-
ana Purchase exposition, of which her
husband is general counsel.

who contend to this day. that Milton
couldn't have done better if he had
known American. Coming down to the
, eighteenth century, a great mob of
more or less distinguished literateurs
could find no more suitable vehicle
than English. They did fairly well in
it, although, of course, it has not the
resources of the real Fourth of Iuly
American. Goldsmith struggled with
it long enough to create a few things
that still charm the heart and please
the fancy. Dick Steele and Joseph Adj
Olson showed that the essaYits could
do with it when he tried hard. Law
renee Sterne managed to fit his Irish
humor into it. and cracked jokes with~
out drifting into slang.
Pitt, Fox, Burke, Sheridan delivered
famous Orations in it, some of which
pleaded for those very Americans who
are now repudia ting the brave old Ian
guage. Dean Swift demonstrated that
could not fulfill. At this juncture, or
somewhere near it, Samuel Johnson
gathered all the words together, and
put them into dictionary which is
the father of all dictionaries in the
British empire and the United States.
Some of Johnsons words are still in
use although many of them are quite
unintelligible to the average American.
It is probable out of gratitude to john
loose from English altogether. In no
other way can we explain why college
professors, magazine writers, novelists
and people of fine taste in the United
States continue to go to these eight
eenth century writers for their style

Educated Women as Mothers.

Mothers whose children despise them
are themselves to blame for the senti-
ment: for those women are the old-style
servant wives and mothers. The type IS
today of course, largely in the majority
owing mainly to the enormous hordes of
European peasants that this country
harbors. Even in higher caste foreign
families this degrading view of the
place of mother obtains. Happily, the
hundreds of young women graduating
annually from colleges are not only so
many hundred brands snatched from
