Whether these alien commenters have penetrated deeply Into the sub ject Is not definitely known, but Judg ing from their oft-repented averments, assuming at times a form of caustic criticism, there Is doubtless more truth in the matter than We suspect. II is not without a pang of regret— a riffling of our pride, perhaps—that we Americans, who are disposed to analyze conditions with unbiased minds, reluctantly admit that our Eng lish cousins are right. • • • We recognize that we have many spendthrifts, constantly setting a bad example to the young, that they are extravagant and decidedly foolish. Money is poured out like water, as thouch. like Topsy. “it Just growed.” There Is consolation, however, In the thought that these profligates Come mostly from th^ ranks of the newly rich and thoughtless Inheritors.

I N CONSIDERING the proper form of the plurals of such words ns “spoonful," “cupful." armful/’ etc., it must he home In mind that the unit considered is not the spoon, the arm, the cup, etc.,; but the material that tills the spoon, etc. Thus, the unit is the spoonful, not the spoon, and as j “spoonful” Is the name of a thing in , 'itself, the proper form of the plural is { found by adding an “s" to the word | “siMHHjful," and not to the part of the word “spoon.” Of course, there are times when the ^ onti jit the spoon. Itself; thgl U. when Two or more spoons are filled. When, for example, you have before you two . spoons filled with sugar, you should say “two spoons full,” and not “two spoonfuls.” But when you take a spoon, fill it with sugar and eiupty it into your coffee cup, and repent the prfteess, you have taken two “spoon fuls’* of sugar, and aot two “spoons fall." ><1 (Copyright.)' o Life as I See It la talk, as la other things, we might trail let quality prevail over quantity. —Louisville Courter-Journal.
