PHILOSOPHY Of SIano.

A man in middle life recalls the
slang of his boyhood with some such
indulgent wonder as that with which
an elderly woman looks at the fashion
plates Of her early youth-"snfde,"
"cheese it," "sheeny." chestnut"
"spoony," or even those of more re-
cent coinage "snap" "skiddoo." "twen-
ty-three," "thirty cents" They were ar
tificially changed with meaning. and
their efferveScence is irretrievably
gone, writes Robert P. Utter in Harp
er's. "LemOn" and s1obster" are near
ly as fiat. With disappearance Of a
certain kind of early Victorian prud-
cry has gone the vogue of such terms
as "inexpressibles" for trousers. Du
Maurier's once famous novel has al
most reached the vanishing point in
the perspective Of time, and we no
longer speak of feet as "Trlbys." It
is not safe, however, to prophesy that
because word come from a proper
name 1t will fade as fades the fame or
notoriety Of the person. We have for
gotten what Plagiarism" is, but we
still understand "Bowdlerize." "Fletch-
erize' may yet make Fletcher immor-
tai, even as derrick" preserves in the
the name of once IA
nous hangman.
