MAKES o PERFORM.


The following from the "What Y
May Column" of the st. Louis Repub-
lie, SO ably edited by Bart Howard,
concerns a former City Editor Of the
Evening Ledger, whose writing for the
Philadelphia North American is a
feature of that paper.
"Disintendedly."
Comes Leigh Mitchell Hodges, in
The Philadelphia North American,
making worry look so foolish that
one wonders why he ever INDUCED it.
As we read along, charmed by the
grace of expression, and resolving,
with each sentence, never to worry
again, we suddenly bump into the
word, "disintendedly." It's actually
a shock. Of course, the word is all
right structurally, but what's the
why of it? 1t is not ornamental. II
is not facile. If it has an impalpable
shade of meaning, a delicate nuance
peculiar to itself, the same escapes us.
We are sorry to see this word ad-
mitted into Hodges troupe of per-
formers. For you know-or if you
didn't, you do now-that words are
the faithful, obedient servants Of
Hodges. They eat out Of his hand
With a glance he can make them
weep or sing, caper nimbly or linn

or plunge into the deeps. He car

attached to. When a man who car
do that fetches in a "disintendedly
and makes it jump through the hoop
well, literally, we should worry.
