SHORTHAND WRITING.
'atsnoeraphy" Not the only Name BY
Which Il Is Known.

setenopraphy" Not the only Name BY
Which II Is Known.
Shorthand writing is known by other
names than ''stenography." ''Tachygra-
ply" is only one of them. Its second
part, of course. comes from the same
root as the latter end of 'stenography"
that is, from the Greek "grapho,"
meaning to write. "Tachy" Is derived
from the Greek ''tachys." meaning
swift; so only the shorthand writer
who has the ability 10 take down rap
I'd speech and transcribe it quickly has
the right to call herself or himself a
photographer" (The "ch" sound is
like that Of "k.'D
"Stenography" comes from graphic"
combined with "stenos," which means
marrow" in Greek. So a "stenogra-
pher'' is either a narrow writer or she
or he practices marrow writing"
Not so many years ago we heard a
good deal about photography" as a
name for shorthand writing, but the
term seems to have gone out Of use.
1t comes from that same useful root
'grapho," combined with ''phonos."
The latter word means sound so
that photographer is one who writes
down sound as he hears it The pho
nograph is. of course, an instrument
for writing or recording sound.
Then there are "brachygraphy" "ste-
ganography" and Topography" as 9th
er names for what we generally call
stenography. In the order given they
are derived from "grapho" combined
with 'brachys." meaning short" "ste-
ganos," meaning covered" secret" "a
stenographer is one who writes in
cryptic or mysterious writing, not to be
read by the uninitiated) and 'logos,"
meaning speech. New York Times.

NEW GAS LIGHTS
PLEASE PUBLIC

Having been instructed some weeks
ago 10 place additional lights along
West Tenth street and on Delaware
avenue from Market street. the VIII
mington Gas Company this week
placed "a three-burner inverted
Humphrey archs In operation
The additional lights have caused
much favorable comment, being of
400 candle power This has been
increased to 500 candle power by the
use OF alabaster globes. The light
produces a soft glow and leaves no
shadow.
The Street and Sewer Department,
II is understood, is planning to ex-
tend the lights out Delaware avenue,
and If this policy is followed, that
thoroughfare will present a beautiful
scene. The lights are placed on
iron standards IA feet above the side
walk with a fancy bracket suspended
over the curb. The poles are paint
ed a dark brown.

If any inconvienve was caused, the
work being pushed forward rapidly.
IL was only necessary 10 open the
street in one or two pldces IN order
to make connections With the gas

Good
Mourninn stationerY.

Mourning Stationery.
The formal woman Is particular about
her mourning stationery and visiting
cards. She decreases the width Of the
border on her letter paper as she light
ems her Grape, also regulates 1t by her
degree Of relationship 10 the deceased.
The broadest border, full half inch,
~ used by a widow as long as she
wears unrelieved Grape. When she
permits herself touch Of white the
stationery is bordered by three-eighths
of an inch Of black, lessened by pre-
scribed degrees until in second mourn
ing, when lavender or gray is appear
ing Ia costumes, a mere thread OF black
Is used.
For a paFeRt or child the border
starts at a quarter Of an inch and Is
lessened after six months to an eighth
of an inch and at the end Of a year
reduced 10 a slender line, Borders on
visiting cards correspond with those
on writing paper,
The average person chooses her
mourning borders by individual taste
rather than by rule and rarely changes
the width until in second mourning.
Good taste avoids the Haunting Of
grief and rarely countenances a border
wider than a quarter Of an inch, even
for widow. Even this is a trlfe
wide. Three -sixteenths OF an inch is a
better width for widows. parents or
children and an eighth OF an inch for
a sister or brother.
The paper used is dead white linen
of plain weave and lusterless. 1t Ia
bad form to have a mourning border
on striped or fancy paper. even though
the color is kept white Where a
transparent paper is liked, as for for
elgn correspondence or to save postage
besides the border there is a separate
lining OF black tissue paper for each
envelope.
Addresses and nlonograms are often
stamped I'm unrelieved black. Some
persons prefer them embossed in relief
without color, especially II there be
telephone and telegram numbers in ad
dition TO the address. When these are
all in black they look less overpower-
ing II a miniature receiver and tele
graph pole and lines are used instead
OF the word telephone or telegram
AS mourning borders are expensive
the stationery Of grief is costly. Il
can rarely be had by the pound, as
other papers, but sometimes Is cheaper
by the box, containing several quires
AS there is usually a reduction for get
ting a large quantity, it pays to lay in
supply.
Correspondence cards carry the same
borders as writing paper. When there
are no engraved acknowledgements
these cards are quite large enough for
few words Of appreciation. Some
times a sentence is written across ths
top Of the visiting card
Black bordered envelopes 10 At th'
visiting card should be bought by thu
hundred. as the card viii do social dut,
during the entire period Of mourning.

Art Of Conversation.

The art Of polite conversation seems
to be a lost one, yet there is not any
thing I'm the line Of etiquette that so
surely betrays breeding
To interrupt is to be rude, no mat
ter how much one knows OF how badly
one wishes to say IT. To carry on
perfectly we'll bred conversation with
some sort of meaning in the words is
a proof that one has been taught po-
llteness.
1t has been said, and possibly with a
great grain Of truth. that a roomful Of
women will all talk at once, yet there
is nobody to set them a better ex-
ample, as men are worse With rau-
cOus voice and many times a lot Of
perfectly useless adjectives they take
many a precious moment to say what
could be said with a great deal less
noise and a great deal more dignity.
OF course to converse does not mean
Just talking. 1t means saying some
thing we'll worth while, and this really
is the test A hostess has a right to
expect her guests to "make converse
tion," Il is true. but a babel Of sound
is not at all desirable. This is where
the low voice and soft expression have
their proper belonging. yet where too
often both are lost In the desire to
make oneself heard above all others.
Current topics Of the day are al
ways safe subjects. Best let personal
matters alone. 1t is better taste and
therefore better breeding unless one
is we'll acquainted with ones nelghbor
and can say anything without fear OF
repetition making mischief. To talk
only OF fashions is a mistake. To
talk Of music TO a musician may be
also a mistake unless one is fully ac-
qualnted with the subject To talk OF
history to a historian will not do; he
knows a great deal more than can be
told him. In fact, to talk "shop," as
the saying goes, is rarely advisable
where a company is gathered together
for entertainment
Books are always safe. Discussions
may and do arise. Sometimes heated
arguments for and against attract and
make an hour pass pleasantly. The
weather is a very obliglng subject 1t
cannot talk back, is always Just the
thing one does not particularly like
and can come in for any amount OF
blame without making anybody pres
ent feel cross So 1t seems that to
converse we'll in a general way one
should avoid a great many subjects
and go warily about others. Any dis
cussion may be heated without anger,
and this means the etiquette OK con-
versation.
