very seldom that anything is passed

would never suggest to your neighbor
on the right to pass you the cheese.
but you would rise in your place and,
with firm grasp on your knife, reach
over his plate and impale the tempting
morsel. If this is not impossible you
leave your place and go around the
table and secure your loot Ny Rus

How n Meaning Changes.

Cheat is a word that now has a
very ugly sound. To cheat a man is
to defraud him. Originally the word
conveyed no such meaning. The old
word "escheat" referred to the dues
that fell to the crown. 1t came from
the French echoir Uatin, excadere).
The modern meaning that attaches to
the word tells a sad tale of the extor-
ton and greed that must have been
practiced in collecting the dues.
