The Right Word
SHOULD" IN A QUESTION (Ffnd the Error in This ArticIe)
By CURTIS NICHOLsONI

Miss Ruth MeringoOn of Brooklyn, N. Y, takes issue with ''The Right Word" She writes as follows:
 "Allow me to correct grammatical error in The Right Word x
 Tn the sentence. How would you like to be us? the correction is given as heinz How should you like to be we?' for one uses the auxiliary (shOuld) one expects in reply
 ''The alleged reason is correct, but the writer of the correction forgot that the same auxiliary is not used for the first person as for, the second.
 When one says T should like meaning the same thing for the second person, one ought to say you would like Therefore the correct grammatical construction of the sen- tenee under discussion is How would you like to be we? trust that you will correct the mistake"
 ''The Right Word" is compelled to disap- point Miss Merington and not make the change she requests. for How should you like to be we?" for How should you like to we? is correct
 It is correct to say, You would like the play" But it is not correct to say, II would like to gO." The expression would like is permissible in the second and third persons but not in the first.
 Nor is should like" correct in the second and third persons unless one is asking question; as, Should you like to go? The reason should is used is because the reply will probably be- 'I should like to go," the expression ''I would like" being improper.

Out Where the West Begins (By Griff Crawford)

Dobe Sam came ridin' from the range one
 summer day, Whoopin' and a-shootin' down the streets of
 Sante Fe; Thirty minutes later he was silent as the
 rocks: Ridin' calm and peaceful in little wooden box. Alkali Ike laid down on the sand And rattlesnake bit him smack-dab on the
 hand; The bite would have killed him q honestly
 think). But q passing cow-puncher gave Ike q big
 drink That at first was refreshinglg pleasant and
 cool, Then bit like an adder and kicked like q mule. It cured him, alright, of the rattlesnake bite. But he died from the liquor the very same
 night. --

Oh Those Flappers!

A flapper, with rolled silken hose. Went walking mid the garden rows. Potatoes filled their eyes with dirt. The corn was shocked and greatly hurt. Carrots stood rooted in the ground, While apples up a tree were found. Cabbages covered up their heads, The lettuce covered in their beds While all the peaches who had seen Turned, with envy, vivid green.

Collie IS often due to a torpid con-

tongue, bitter taste, offensive breath,
and constipation. Black-Draught acts
in natural way upon the liver. and

CHAPTER X&XI
Not a Welcome Visitor


But It was the Red Grange, much
more than David, that took Dora on
that long journey.
1t made her angry to think of Nj,

she herself wished to reign. She took
extra pains with her toilet before she
started, and she certainly know how
to dress well.

! viously whom she was going to see,
and why she looked from the window
| so eagerly as the train drew into the
station.
She had to take the one shabby sta
ton fly to drive the distance from the
station to the Red Grange
She inquired casually of the driver
how long the Carews had left the
neighborhood before she gave him Da-
vid's address. She knew as we'll and
better than he did, but it appeased her

Only Miss Varney was in when she
reached her destination.
Her heart began to beat excitedly
as she found herself once more in the
| beautifuI hall.
How she would love to have this
place for her home!
What luxury it would mean to be
| the wife Of David Brethreton!
Miss Varney hurried from the draw
| ing room to meet her. She was a
| kindly soul, and had a welcome for
every one; but she had never really
liked Dora Fisher.
If the truth must be told, she was
a little afraid of her and her smart
clothes.
What an unexpected visitor!" she
said, holding out her hand.
But not an unwelcome one, i
hope" said Dora quickly. She
stopped and kissed Miss Varneys
cheek affect1onately
DO you know that I've done most

Carew used to be a great friend OF
mine, and I suddenly took 1t into my
head to run down and see her. We
hadn't met for months. and now
hear that they've left the place weeks

There was laughing dismay IN her
voice
Weeks, my dear? Months!" said
Miss Varney. And didn't you know?
What a pity! And you've come all
this long way for nothingr
Il don't mind, and I'm so glad you
are at home! I had to wait ages for

up and see you. How we'll you are
lookingr
We're all very we'll Miss Varney
answered, as she led the way into the
drawing room.
She rang for tea, and insisted on
taking her visitors wraps, though
Dora protested that she could not stay

1t Is not particularly stylish this

several years are booking passage for
foreign lands. The new law govern
