Boys and girls should remember that a woman or a girl should never be spoken of as a "female." The *:?e of the word in that way is not O?dy* vulgar, but incorrect, for "fe male" js an adjective, not a noun. (They should also use the good old word "woman," as a rule, instead of the affectation, "lady." So far has this affectation gone that it has ac tually become the custom among people who have poor taste to speak ot saleswomen as "salesladies." That . is wholly inexcusablo. We might as well say "sidesgentlemen" instead df ?a]esmen; and who would be guilty of so ridiculous a blander as that ?-~> Chicago News. . r * \. , ,?? . .;??> ,, . : 1 T- ? ?'. Napkin Ring Trlok.
