THE RIGHT THING
at At
RIGHT TIME
By MARY MARSHALL DUFFEH ||
Word* are the shadows of actio aa^?
Drmocritua.
IIEY, GOBS!
PKRHAPS in nothing else are the
fashion and custom of the age <
so distinctly characterized as in
the use of words. Any student of the
language?any language, in fact?can
tell the approximate date of the au
thorship of any writing hy the choice
of the words It contains. You know
yourself how easy it Is to recognise
Shakespeare from his word choice?or
at least, how differently Shakespeare
and, his contemporaries wrote from the
way Sir Walter Scott and O. Hen
ry. rvspectireiy. wrote.
/Nfcw.' the words we choose to ex- I
press our thoughts are, to a large ex
tent, chosen because they are the
correct words to use. There are
styles aud fashions in word usage,
aa there are in the method of writing
letters and holding the knife, and we
reflect the fashion of onr ovm day.
Our grandmothers and grandfathers
used a far more^ stilted form than we
do. Not only does it sound stilted, be
cause It is out of date, but It actually
was a more formal and stilted usage.'
Slang, In those days, was not Indulged
In by the well bred. Today, say what
we will against the use of slang, it Is
not a sign of bad breeding. And, al
though we may <-tuition onr sweet
young daughters against using slang,
still we cannot keep them from rec
ognizing It as part and parcel of the
present-day English tongue.
Not long ' ago, some hlg billboards
Inviting the sailors anchored in the
Hudson river to the various festivals
In the way of danee* and fea*t* which
Now Tork city had prepared for them,
began with the word*, "Hey, Ooha!"
The pooter* went on to specify time
and place and variety of the enter
tainments.
Now, can anybody imagine a Civil
war bulletin of Invitation to the bine
Jackets of the day beginning with the
words, "Hey, Ooba?" No; that wd*
a day of more stilted language, and
a slangy address to the sailors would
I have been quite undignlAed.
There are times today, of counw,
when we should avoid slang. Slang
doea sound cheap from a dignified ma
tron. Too much slung shows a cer
tain lack of Imagination on the part
of the user, anyw iy. But a stilted
usage of word* is quite unnecessary.
Of course, if yon are writing to the
diplomatic representative of a foreign
government, for instance, asking wlwt
openings exist ta'ht* country for work
ers In ?mne industry, you should
conch "your letter of inquiry in rtlgni
Bed language?even formal language.
If you are making an address bestow
ing a gift, you would likewise use
format phraseology that might almost
be termed stiff. Ami yon wouldn't
think, of course, in sending out invi
tation* for a dinner party, of, starting
them off: "Hoy. friend!" Bnt the

"If It 1h the.bam you hove to <%re
for, Instead of the house, Just keep a
sharp eye on the bags of corn and
grain, and remember that watchful
waltlm: has Its reward."
All the little klttena listened with
up-Standing wlderep*r SMT
to all that Tabby-Was-ifc
?tug, for well they knew that such Wis
dom as hers- was hard to And.
"Now, there are the rats," she said:
"all pussies cannot catch rats, but the
big ones can If they are brave, and
ray advice to xou Is tbls: When you
see a rat look for a trap, there Is sure
to bo one around; then all you have
to do Is to keep that rat from getting
hack to his hole.
"Oba/ie htm toward the trap, and
when he ftnds he cannot get home he
wfll run into the trap, you may be
sure, and there you have him.
"Chasing rats Into traps Is Just as
clever as catching them, but never lei
a mouse go into a trap. Remember
that it'ls a disgrace to any Puss to
have a mouse caught In a trap In the
house where It lives.
"I have heard the saying, 'Mind yonr

sies ; you must mind yonr M*s und It's,
und If'you do this you will become
good mousers and rat hunters, which
Is the ambition of all well-brought-up

As all the kittens trotted home be
