BEAUTIFUL WORDS

Wilfred J. Funk, poet leXicog-
rapher and president of Funk and
Wagnells. listed what he considers
the ten most beautiful words in the
English Language - beautiful in
meaning and in the musical ar
rangement of their letters" His list,
compiled after a thorough sitting
of thousands of words follows:
Dawn, Hush, Lullaby, Murmuring,
Tranquil, Mist, Luminous, Chimes,
Golden, Melody.
THE long vowel sounds and the
soft consonants make these words
flow smoothly" Mr.. Funk said.
Beauty of sound is not enough.
Mush is a word pleasant to the
ear but its connotation is ugly.
Beauty of meaning is not sufficient.
Mother is one of our most loved
words. but it lacks euphony."
Even more interesting was the
next day follow-up story |hich ran
like this:

among New Yorks literati, The best
that was said for any one of the
ten-dawn, hush, lullaby, murmur-
ing, tranquil, mist, luminous,
chimes, golden, melody-was that
lullaby is nice.
That statement was made by Fam
ME Hurst, novelist, but she added:
Dawn is like a dead cat. Luminous
is good. but not as good as lyric.
1 think these are more beautiful:
serenity, peace, beauty itself, vital
ity, mercy, madonna. No, 1 don
think much of the list
Dorothy Parker, poet, said she
considered cellar-door the most
beautiful word, but those she liked
to see best were check and enclosed.
Hendrix Willem van Loon also
spoke up for cellar-door and he ex-
pressed great surprise when told his
selection was the same as Miss
Parker's.
I've only met Miss Parker twice
in my life" he said land We've
never talked of cellardpors. don't
like this list because | don't like
soft words.sI like the hard sounds,
the short words, like talk, Cuspidor
is a good word too.
Ring Lardner not only scoffed at
the Funk list. He gave list of his
own.

said. Fit is the second, scram is
