LOOK out For Your Pate.

A contemporary says pate" is slang
for head. II is. Ell? Wherefore? Sure
~ the word is used I'm a trivial or de-
rogatory sense. as NOODLE, noggin, era
MUM, brainpan. etc. but It's origin Is
eminently respectable. Shakespeare
says "the learned pate ducks to the
golden fool" Pope's epigram Is good:
You beat your pate and fancy wit will
come;
Knock as you please there's nobody at
home.
We have "bald pate" and shave
pate" Why. the word Is used once In
the Bible, and by David, In Psalm VII
IL, Ellis mischief shall return upon his
own head. and his violent dealing shall
come down upon his own pate" Ac
curatcly. pate does not mean the head
but the crown of the head.-New York
