OBJECTS TO DEAR OLD LADY,
Writer Desires Abolition of What He
Describes as the Sickly Senti-
mental Adjective.

Words have a way Of falling violent
ly in love with each other. One may
watch sometimes the progress Of the
affair. A graceful adjective is intro
duced to sturdy noun by some care
less writer. The two strangers find
themselves mutually congenial. They
are thrown together constantly. At
ter a while the wedding is quietly
celebrated and the couple pass from
romance to humdrum respectabiiity,
becoming such a couple perhaps as
"Bitter End" Unparalleled Circun.
stances" or Critical Situation"
Sometimes one is churlish enough to
desire divorce for such pair, as in
the case Of your contributor and the
collocation, Dear Old Lady," says a
writer in Scribner's. Why is it no old
lady, not positively vicious, appears in
speech or print nowadays without the
adjective dear" announc:7g her?
Some Of US will be-many Of US
are-old ladies. Must we all be dear
old ladies'? Must all the pleasing and
interesting characteristics it has taken
Us lifetime to cultivate be obliterated
by this vague, sickly sentimental
blanket word?
Nowadays most old ladies' are so
busy working for public causes that
they have not time to protect their
own interests as they should. But let
us hope that after q while they will or
ganize a new association, tc be called
"The Society for the Promotion OF
Distinctive Characterizations for Old
Ladies'" and that it will have displayed
prominently on its banners the slogan,
Down with the word 'Dear'!"

You see it was this way, from the
Atchison Globe: Atchison lost popu-

according to the census returns just
made public. When Atchison's pop

years ago it was part of scheme to
throw the county population above
thirty thousand and thereby increase
the pay Of county officials. And 1t

fused to make new census and, IN
spite of protests by state officials, kept
sending in the 1905 report. Weary

decided last summer to take" the
loss and let the population 90 in at
what it really was. That was 1888.
