 The foregoing conversation was overheard recently. The second speaker should have said: "A certain person told me-" not, "a certain party"
 This use of the word party for person" is quite common, but it is condemned by all authorities on Eng fish grammar as being incorrect. Some, indeed, go so far as to call 1t vulgar.
 It should be remembered, however, that the word party" meaning an individual, has a proper place in Eng fish. We may speak of "a party to a contract" or "the party of the first part" or "the parties to the marriage" Woolley's Handbook of Composition" gives the following sentence as an eX ample of the correct use of the word : "The parties to the marriage were both young" The following is given as incorrect: "The party who wrote that article must have been a scholar"

 Tim began to tremble more, and then his father put the knife on the top crust and poor Tim could stand no more.
