Mrs. MaIaprop Again.
(From the Albany Review.)

(FrOm the Albany sReVleW.)
The pious old lady who, returning
from visit to the zoo, announced that
she always did enjoy a visit to the
theological gardens" or the servant
who, describing her masters last ILL
ness, explained that the doctors held
a consolation and found that it was
something eternal" are both instances
of Malapropism in it's simple and prim-
tive form. The transition from one
word to another is natural, the con-
fusion of ideas is excusable-in the lat
ter instance distinct sequence be-
tween the dual misstatements lends to
it curious sense of something at once
obvious and edifying. Such errors are
on a level with the assertion OF the
lady who observed that when she was
in Italy she saw so many people IN
the garbage Of monks with tonsils on
their heads;;" or, of that more domestic
Malaprop who, having occasion to
complain of her spouse being mar
tinet in the home circle, announced
that her husband was a perfect mar
moset in his own house." while for
sheer simplicity of phrase and concep-
ton few have surpassed Punch's de-
lightful old dame, who, with shreWd
twinkle in her eye, inquiries whether
"'soda water should be written as
two separate words, or if there should
be a syphon between Them

That Touch of Refinement.

Nothing is more delightful to the
dinner party guests than to be served
after dessert with those dainty, de-
licious Nabisco Sugar Waters, the
CONNECTION that instantly marks the
genteel refinement and thoughtful con-
sideration of the hostess. Every one
is not certain to fancy the dessert you
have served, but all will delight in nib
bling Nabisco Sugar Waters. They
can't help melting in your mouth,
leaving just a suggestion of the deli
cate flavoring so pleasant to the taste.
You'll never be at loss for a popular
and attractive dessert if you keep sew
eral tins of Nabisco Sugar Waters i'll

Hard to Repel.

Captain Kidd lowered his black flag.
"The boarders are coming I'M" he
shouted "Me to the open water, where
the Nancy Jane can show her heels"
"But you used to repel all board
ers?" bantered the pirate crew.
"Ah, but you don't know summer
boarders, my lads. You couldn't repei
them with sCn earthquake. II they get
aboard there won't be enough food left
for the pet parrot"
For long before his piratical career
Captain Kidd used to run a peaceful
country boarding house and he knew
what summer boarders were.
