Use Short Words,

Literary aspirants should religiously
eschew polysyllabic orthography. The
philosophical and pathological substruc-
ture Of this principle is ineluctable.
Excessively attenuated verbal sym
bols inevitably induce unnecessary
complexity and consequently exagger-
ate the obfuscation Of the mentality of
the peruser. Conversely, expressions
which are reduced to the furthermost
minimum Of simplifcation and COM
pactness, besides contributing realistic
verisimilitude, constitute a much less
onerous handicap to the readers per-
spicacity.
Observe, for instance, the unmistak.
able and inescapable expressiveness Of
onomatopoetic. interjectional, mono
syllable utterances, especially when
motivated under strenuous emotional
circumstances. How much more ap.
pealing is their euphonious pulchritude
than the preposterous and pretentious
pomposity Of elongated verbiage.-Life.

Queer Skirts In Yap.

In the Island of Stone Money" Dr.
w. a. Turnlss tells of the female fash
ions of the natives of Yap, the most
westerly Of the Caroline islands, and
expresses wonder that the women are
20 rarely burned to death.
I'm the first place, their skirts are
composed Of four or five layers of
dried leaves and strips of bast and are
so voluminous and distended that they
stand out all around the body, outrival-
Ing the old fashioned hoopskirts. Even
when sitting down the women are sur
rounded by a mound Of veritable tin
der. In the second place, they are for
ever striking matches to light their
cigarettes; nay, worse even, they carry
about with them, for the sake Of econ.
omy, the glowing husk Of cocoanut,
and neither to matches nor husk do
they give the slightest heed, striking
the one recklessly over their own skirts
or absentmindedly resting the other
against the skirts Of their neighbor.
Yet in spite Of this utter recklessness
never did see skirt catch fire. One
month at longest is the life Of wom-
ans dress; then the old skirt Is burned
and a brand new one plated, with no
tedious fittings at the dressmaker's
nor deprs sing bills to pay"
