4 LITTLE SLANG GOES A LONG

As a matter OF fact, little slang Is
an excellent thing, but In the present
era OF slang more than the smallest
quantity Is a great deal too much. The
English language may fairly be said
TO be the most picturesque and most
expressive In the world, and 1t does
not need the verblage Of the Stun. or
even the catch words and catch phrases
Of the street, to add to its yigor and
variety! As rule, the use OF slang

thought and idea than Of susceptible.
