Correct Words and How to Use Them
By MRS. FRANK LEARNED.
Author Of THE Etiquette Of New York To-day

u VERY intelligent person is always
X progressing and Is never indlf-
ferent in matters OF culture. II
careless habits Of speech have
been formed a determined effort to cor
rect them will lead to good results.
Many persons who consider them
selves well educated make the mistake
Of using the participle got" in connec-
ton with the verb "to have" They
say: Have you got the key?" "Who
has got my book" instead Of Have
you the key?" WHO has my book"
Mistakes of everyday occurrence are
who did you give it tor" who is this
for?' instead Of the correct expressions
ITO whom did you give it," For whom
is this?"
frequently one hears these errors in
grammar: Il intended to have bought
a pair Of gloves" instead of Il intended
to buy pair Of gloves" 1T was no use
asking him." instead of 1T was no use
10 ask him." Try and persuade her TO
60 instead Of TRY to persuade her to
go"
II would seem unnecessary to tell any
one not to use the present tense in
stead OF tho past tense when mentioning
what another has said. yet a careless
person may be heard saying, He says, ;"
instead Of He said"
Other faults are TO say "A great

ways" Somewhere" There's plenty
OF places"
The contraction don't" for do not
should never he used with a singular
noun or pronoun. II is correct to say
He does not" and not He don't" 1t
is important TO remember the objective
form Of the first person singular when a
noun or pronoun or two pronouns fol-
low verb, and not 10 say Ethel asked
Mary and l to GO" but Ethel asked
Mary and me TO go" If one is confused
about the use Of pronouns in a sentence
Of this sort an easy rule is to separate
them and use each one with the verb,
thus: ETHEL asked Mary" and Ethel
asked me" In this way the grammati-
cal form is seen.
It is correct 70 say "A summer day"
not "A summers day" cut the apple
In two" or "in halves" not "Cut the
apple in half" Il cut the ribbon off
this piece" not off of this piece" "The
child threw it on the floor" not "onto
the floor"
Whether" IS a wore that indicates a
choice Of things and should not be
placed at the head of each part Of a
sentence. For instance. 1t is incorrect
TO repeat It thus; II have not decided
whether I shall go to Boston or whether
shall stay at home"

they deluded that they call It by

Each of these words means turn to

They only call 1t sunfower They mean
by that name, though. quite as much

A Moroccan Charm.

Moroccan wives have a most elabo-
rate recipe for winning back the affec-
lions Of an unfaithful husband. First.
the deserted or suspicious wife draws
straight line I'm pure honey from the
middle OF her forehead down to her
chin and collects the drippings in a
spoon. Then she rubs the tip OF her
tongue with n fg leaf till 1t bleeds
and soaks seven grains Of salt in the
blood. This she mixes with the honey,
adds more salt which has been carried
for day and a night In a tiny Incl
sion in the skin between her eyebrows
and finally adds pinch Of earth from
the print of her bare right foot on the
ground. The dose is then put into the
erring husbands food and. according
to Moroccan tradition. never fails to
restore him to his allegiance.

EDITORIALS
THE POLICY OF FRANKNESS

Much was said at the gathering
of advertising men at Baltimore,
about truth in advertising. This
is a principle that this newspaper
has always. emphasized. 1t may
say something more about il soon.
1t is a principle that is pervading
all business life.
A slump of speculative discour-
agement followed the decree in
the Minnesota railroad rate cases.
Railroad men complain bitterly
of the hostility of the public. Bust
ness men call for more co-corpora-
ton in which the public shall al
low the railroads to make fair
dividend and the railroad shall
give the best possible service at
moderate charges and all shall pull
together to boost the community.
The same policy of frankness
that the advertising writer's have
been urging which leads the mod
ern business man to tell just what
his goods are. will remove anti
corporation hostility,
The old motto used to be, in the
language of the mining country,
Every man for himself and hold
your cards close to your belly"
Now a good many people have be-
come convinced that some games
can best be played with the card:
down on the table.
When a railroad bought up a
competitor, the reason formerly
assigned was that the property was
wanted as FEEDER" If this was
not the real reason, irritation was
created When you are dealing
with a man who fails to give you
the real reason for his action, you
view all his actions with suspicion.
The same principle prevails in the
dealing between the public and
the roads
The railroad magnate who opens
his accounts to the public, who as
signs the real reason for his act,
is going to dissipate existing hos
tility. 1t is only fair to say that
frankncss is much more in evil
dence than it was. The railroads
are suffering now for the sins of
the past more than from those of
the present.
