UPREME COURT JUSTICE DE- LANY embodied a neat criticism of the use of slang in his refusal, a day or twe since, to grant @ certificate of reasonable doubt in a case where the prisoner’s coun- se] complained that the Assistant District-Attorney had used preju- | dicial language in asking the! question: “Don’t you know that this defendant was reputed to have committed grand larceny and to have beaten the case?” The expression “beaten the case” was the one objected to. | But the word “beat,” the Justice pointed out, is used several By Maurice Ketten.

This is not an elegant use of our language, he grants—however, “the inquiry here is not into the purity of the term employed, but the meaning which it conveyed to the jury.” That is to say, the common everyday usage is the working authority. @Here is where the people “beat” the dictionary. Slang is one element of language in the making. The lexicographers take it up only after it has received the popular indorsement, and that it cannot get unless it expresses a new idea, or an old one more aptly than heretofore. Another element is the technical terms arising from , modern inventions in general use. lor instance, the machine on! which these present remarks are typed is of the kind that does “visi- ble” writing, and it has a “shift” of key for directing the run of the ribbon from left to right, or vice versa. Yet the dictionaries do not include “type” as a verb, nor “visible” in this meaning, nor, “shift” as a noun in the sense here conveyed. | Col. Roosevelt, who is an authority on everything, has written | @n essay on “Dante and the Bowery,” in which he exclaims: “What | infinite use Dante would have made of the Bowery!”—meaning the characters there and the racy dialect they speak. No modern poet hes touched this, unless possibly Walt Whitman, whom the Bowery doesn’t read, and whom the literary purists ostracize. Nevertheless, the colloquial usage is always at least ten yay head of the dictionaries in vitality and picturesqueness of language, and the most serious writers have to draw upon it now and then. We read in the New York Tribune’s eulogy of the late Prof. Francis | A. March, the eminent American philologist: “Few children or grown- | ups who have studied English only it is commonly taught know | anything about grammar, except what they have picked up by ear. | and this fact becomes evident when they try to learn a more highly inflected foreign language and are stumped by its more complicated gtammatical construction.” | FEMININE FASHION SPEED. T was a Paris hat creation, and} cost fifteen hundred francs, or | what we would call $300, in the} Rue de la Paix. But that is neither here nor there. The lady | who paid such a price was, of | course, an. American, Equally! of course, she was on her travels, | and flitted about the world in a speedy and erratic manner. The day the hat was to be delivered the illness of a friend called her to Moscow, so the hat-box fol- lowed there, but only arrived after its prospective wearer had started | back for Berlin. Everywhere the lady went the hat was sure to go, Imt it never quite caught up with her sufficiently to have a Euro lebut. She sailed for New York just as it reached London. | . Mrs, Modish planned a surprise for Newport, cabled for the “ereation,” via New York, and then forgot it. When she remem-| bered, she was in Chicago, en route for New Orleans, and was becom- ing lightly impatient for the millinery masterpiece. But there were still the Great Lakes and Canada to be done before the final stave of the journey to the Pacific Coast. The mobilized headpiece was still in the race, and made the last leg, from Winnipeg to Los Angeles, in time to come under the wire a bad second. But, alas! When Miladi finally unpacked at Los Angeles the hat dream of six months before in Paris it was found to be hope- lopaly out of style.
