 "Mysophotia" is one Of the latest ad- ditions to tie English language It is the name of complaint which most people will recognize. Probably its commonest name is morbid fastidious- ness. Persons who suffer from myso- phobia, says the London Hour Glass. become very faddy in their manner. They are very particular that there is not even a spot on the tablecloth's snowy surface. Every plate and dish and glass that is brought to them Is eagerly scanned for any trace of dirty fingers Everything must be unsoiled and immaculate. In the advanced stage of mysophobia the sufferer is unable to resist the temptation to wipe every article that is placed before him. It does not matter how clean or pure if may be, the wipine process has to be gone through.
 "Unciniariasis" is anothr novel com- plaint. or, rather, it is novel name for an old complaint.

A jambiste, 1t Is explained. is . young society man who occupies his leisure hours by acting as an auxiliary at 8 school of dancing.
