and again, Smith, know my mother"
To be sure this answered the pur-
pose and as every one was very happy
on the occasion 1t probably didn't
make much difference how the intro
duction was made. But the form was
far from courteous.
In the first place a man should al
ways present or introduce his men
friends to his mother, or any other
woman, and he should use a form of
introduction that shows that he is
making the introduction in this way.
Moreover the abrupt manner of say
ing simply, meet Mr.. Brown" or
'Know my friend JONES'" which has
recently become so popular is really
too abrupt to be in good form for any
purpose save possibly for men to in
trOduce men to each other in pure
ly business connection. 1t should
never be used in introducing women.
The right way for the young soldier
to have gone about it would have
been to say, Mother, I want to pre-
sent Sergeant Jones'" "Jones," this is
my mother" or let me introduce
Sergeant Jones to you, mother; Ser
geant Jones wish to present you to
my mother" In a case like this it
is not necessary to give the mothers
name. The only occasion where it
would be, would be in the case the
mother, through remarriage, bore a
name different from the one of the
son who introduced her.

HOW DO YOU SAY 1T?
By c. N. LURE
Common Errors in English and
How to Avoid Them
"TRANsPIRE" AND OCCUR"

TO OCCUR means to take place,
to happen, to come to pass; to
transpire means to becom e
known, to escape from secrecy, to be
made public. 1t is quite common, es-
pecially in ordinary speech and in
writings in newspapers and maya
zines, to hear and see the verb trans
pire" used instead of happen" or
occur" Such usage is, however,
quite incorrect, aNd is condemned by
critics in England and America. "It
,transpired yesterday, at the meeting
of the common council, that permits
sion was withheld" etc, wrote a re-
porter, but he should have written,
"It happened yesterday" etc.-Or, bet
ter still, he should have omitted the
phrase and begun his sentence with
Eat" and omitted "that."
Following is a case of the proper
use of the verb "transpire": "At the
meeting of the common council yes
terday 1t transpired that last weeks
action on the street-railway franchise
was not fnal"-that is, it became
known.

The East, however reversed the ar
rangement and Natalia is popular
there, while her husband is forgotten.
Natalia was one of the favored
Greek Christian names. Russia adopt
ed her and, adding the usual con-
sonants of it's language, calls her
Natalija, Nataschenka, and Natascna.
The first of the three names Is ex-
tremely popular there today, or until
the BOlsheviki came into power and
withdrew the attention of etymOlogists
from the study of feminine names.
France is said to have secured
Natalie from Russia, though there is
record of a Natalie at Cambria in
1912. England preferred Natalie to
any of the other forms, rejecting
Natalia as too Latin in its influence.
Whether American Natalies are rep
resentative of the English, or taken
direct from France, is matter of
personal preference.
The pearl Of purity is Natalie's
talismanic gem. 1t promises good
fortune for its wearer and makes her,
gentle, kind, and lovable. Thursday
is her lucky day and her lucky
number.

there are a lot of people neverthe-
