To demonstrate this point let me recite a true Inatanoe: A few evenings ago I had tha pleasure, pleas-ure, of meeting a moot radiantly beautiful beau-tiful creature a college girt I waa Informed, In-formed, when Introduced nd such an ideal bit of young womanhood. I had not beheld In many a day. But while I stood, atlll marveling at her rare beauty the hair, the eyes, the complexion, com-plexion, and moat of all the dainty dassllng pearls occupying tha bumble position of teeth I had a shock! A shock from which I waa not allowed to recover throughout the evening. It seems that on her way boma from echool aha bad went round by way of Seattle. And tba coast scenery waa beaotlfuler than anything here. Also, she stopped off at many points, and had really aaw and did everything worthwhile on the whole trip. Well, anyway, on our way home I remarked to an adorable young chap eort of bantorlngly: -"Bobby, you do have an unromantlo eoul! I expected to aee you quite In raptures over Edith's beauty." And. lo here la the reply: "She aura haa got the looks, all-right, but did you get that Una of talk ahe puta out? The way ahe butchera the -kings.

Let ua pledge ourselves thla very day to work tirelessly until this condition con-dition doea NOT exiat! Let ua make "Better English" our goal, and not give up the battle until the victory ta won. Lot ua Include the babes and the grandparenta, and refuse to toler- worth It. Thla tendency la much more easily corrected now than It will be later, so do not allow yourself to reach womanhood with thla handicap. Dear Miaa Kayo l Could you pleaae tell ma a aura far blackheads?
