A subscriber writes asking the mean
ing of the word "cad." The STANDARD
dictionary definition is "a vulgar, i'll
bred fellow in any social sphere" Blu
the word, most commonly in use by th'
English dontcherknow'S, the real la-ds
da set, has come 10 mean more than this
1t is the word used TO designate thos
who ape the voice infection, the strut
and other mannerisms OF those who ar
"swagger" by inheritance, or to whom
the uSages of polite society come natur
ally. A cad" is very cheap imitation
of the real thing, social piker.
