EFFICIENCY IN "NEWS STYLE" j
Columns of the Modern Journal Con- ''
tain. It Is Claimed, the Best of
English Phrasing.
It 1h seldom that a good word is
Bald in academic circles foi1 what is
termed "newspaper Phiglish," meaning
the terse, trenchant style in which the
best journalists are in the habit of ex
pressing themselves. The College of
Journalism, however, 'recognizes the
value of this style, and Prof. F. W.
Beekman, a well-known educators,
says:
"With all it? faults i still believe in j
the news style as the most efficient j
j style of this modern day of presenting [
I information through the written word, j
It has been hammered out in the heat t
and stress of newspaper work to meet
the demands of the millions for sonie
; tiling to compel their attention, inter
j est them and give them information
I in the quickest, clearest way possible."
There is much truth in this, but riot
j all thu?--truth. So-called "now^p^per
i Kngllsh" lias left its indelible mark on
| the literature and especially the tic
j tion of our times. The most success
ful stories are those told in the few
j est words. The old-fashioned (lowing
j peiiods, which produced verbal ru? lody
| instead of recording facts, have lost
: their charm for novel readers, whose
j eager brains are anxious to absorb the
j tale rather than linger over ' fine
! writing."
Vain Pomp.
Wilson Winthrop, at a dinner at his
j Riviera villa in Nice, said of New
j York's new rich.
I "It is incredible how many servants
I these people have tumbling over one
anojlyr. Pass their palaces of pale
! limestone fronting the park, and you'll
| see a lackey at every window and two
i at every door.
I "They tell a story about a Fifth ave
; nue food king who, blustering into the
\ house at four o'clock In the morning,
| growled:
"'Hello, where's all the servants'."
" 'If you please, sir,' the butler an
j swered respectfully. 'when it came
j three o'clock I thought you Was spend
i in' the night out, and ventured to send
; most of the footmen off to bed. sir .'
"'Humph.' growled the food king,
j 'Ventured to send 'em off to bed, eh?'
| Fine piece of impudence! Suppose I'd
i happened to bring a friend home?
j then there d only have been you seven
to let us in.' "

At a recent meeting of the Munich
i Aerrlicher Vermin. Doctor Kretsch

President Wilson likes novel* of ;ui
idealistic rather than a realistic trend.
At a reception in Washington a lady
mentioned a realist who had just pro
duced a shockingly depressing and un
pleasant book
"How would >ou define .1 realist?"
some one asked. and the lady said
A realist is a writer who i>. dis
gusted with the world
'Oh. not at all.-' smiled the pre?
totent A realist is a writer with
whom the world is rilngunted "

She was suddenly conscious what }
sin; was doing and dropped the hymnal
down by her feet, and stared intently i
at the rector. Mr. Frankfort listlessly i
picked up the hymnal, and it opened of
its own accord at the tirst ptiRc. Mr.
Frankfort read, looked somewhat sur
prised and then also inscribed some-'
lines in the hymnal. Miss Van Brunt j
quite accidentally picked up the hymnal
a short time afterward and read:
