HOW Do YOU SAY IT?
By c. N. LURE
Common Errors in English and
How TO Avoid Them
"A CERTAIN PARTY"

I'LL OW do you know that that is
! L so:" n certain party told
me"
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
lish grammar as being incorrect.
Some. indeed, go so far as TO call it
vulgar.
1t should be remembered, however.
that the word party" meaning an
individual. has d 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"
Wo0lley's Handbook OF Composition"
gives the following sentence as an ex-
ample OF the correct use of the word:
1.-THE parties TO the marriage were
both young" The following is given
as incorrect: 1.-THE party who wrote
that article must have been a scholar"

al"

THE expression AL" or a number
l. 1" came from the Insurance rating
symbols used by the arm of Lioyd's, in
London. In their rating of ship they
considered the hull and the rigging
separately. "A" meant Hull In first
class condition !" 4" was the symbol
for perfect rigging. The combination
of the two. therefore. meant the high
est possible rating.

because the young emperor of China will

Not long ago we travelled, through

and apparently sandy,> unproductive
soil. The country certainly looked
desolate and unfit. for human habita-

A shed or two. A COW and three hogs.
We were glad. This was sure sign
that we were coming back to civiliZa-

stock was mighty good sign. These
animals lived on the edge of the
world. (@s f
BY the way, it takes courage for
human beings ito live, or rather ex-
list, on the outposts Of the world like
these people do. s It is sample Of
what went on, in the early pioneer
days, when sturdy and hardy folks
following the trail of the Indian.

SEEK VALUABLE ART WORKS
ceIIsctors Have Reason, for Making
Systematic Search Of cottaoes In
North OF France.

Ancient villages Of Normandy and
Brittany are being visited BY art scouts
in the hope of discovering the hiding
place of handreds 81 paintings known
to have been turned out by fEHSh mas
ters as Aiillet and Poussir during their
summer vacations on the. northern
coast. The renewed interest IN the
subject is due to the finding Of twen-
ty Millet canvases III an attic in Rich
bourg. not fur fron4.eth birthplace: Of
the artist, All the Paintings represent
members of the Millet family, but are
especially valuable, as they give new
details as to tie co1ors Of Breton and
Norman costumes and headgear, which.
have been eagerly sought by the new
school of realists. THE first estimate
as to the value Of the paintings was
obtained BY the tity Of Cherbourg,
which intends to provide special
room In the municipal mussurn us soon
as the pictures have been revarnlshed
and cleaned. This estimate places the
value at more than 10000 francs. One
noted French art expert says that the
thatched ewes Of ramshackle cottages
of the north coast shelter today mil
lions of francs worth Of paintings by
men whose names are famous tho
world over.
