OUR MUCH ABUSED LANGUAGE
Americans Notorious the World over
for Their Faulty Articulation
Reform 10 Needed.

That a reform In our habits OF
speech is necessary has long been
conceded by the more intelligent per
son.
Americans are notorious, the world
over. for their faulty articulation; and
this unwise economy of vocal energy
has not only dishgured our language
to the ear but has also given aid and
comfort to the so-called reformers OF
our spelling.
II the word program. for instance,
Is repeatedly heard as program tor
program. with strong accent on the
first syllable and almost no vowel
sound In the second why, 1t is asked.
should II not be written as II is pro-
nounced? No wonder that our coun-
try takes the lead In spelling re-
FORM" having already so effectually
divorced the spoken from the written
language.
Strange and startling are the tricks
that INSTRUMENTATION plays with
spelling. Lamentably common is II
TO meet with the expression would
or for would have" In the CORE
spondence OF the careless In speech.
The new all but universal use OF
will for shall and Of would for should
is probably due largely to the greater
ease Of saying Il will or I'll" I'VE
will or we'll" Il would" or I'd"
."w'd." than OF articulating Il shall, "
Il should" etc.
Thus the evil results Of sloyenly ut
terance show themselves In grammar
as well as in spelling, and the stately
structure OF our ancestral tongue is
slowly but surely yielding to the in
sidious assaults Of carelessness. abuse,
Incidence. mistaken zeal in efforts at
reform and other influences.

smooth Hands in Cold Weather.

II is a perplcXing problem for
those who do Homework to keep the
hands clean and smooth in cold wea-
Their. The woman who must put her
hands into water fifty times day
often suffers from chapped, red
hands. which cause her great an
noyance and embarrassment. There
are many remedies for rough hands,
but here is one within the reach OF
everyone.
The other day | read of two wo-
men who lived next door to each
other, and often exchanged house
hold hints. Each suffered from
chapped hands, and neither had been
able to find a suitable remedy. One
day one Of the neighbors went away
for two weeks. When she returned
she was greeted by her friend, who
stretched out two soft, white hands.
The other woman looked in amaze
ment and envy. "You have secured
a servant to do your work" she re-
marked. mo. indeed said her
1friend. but I've made great dis
covery." And then she told 1t.

much. Indeed he has three daugh-

he calls them

cm to rccitc on that day. And here

Come To me, o ye children!
For hear you at your play,
And the questions that perplexed
me
Have vanished quite away.
Al, what would the world be to
us
II the children were no more?
We should dread the desert be-
hind us
Worse than the dark before.
Mr.. Longfellow is pleased that
YOU will learn some Of his verses,
and he tells you, as he puts you
down from his knee and gets ready
to go-for he has several calls to
makc-that he would like to have
you come To- see him on his birth
day.
