NOTES AND QUERIES
COMPLIMENT THAT'S APPKECI
ATED.
How ought "wlU" and "shall" to be
used?
Some old grammars illustrated the
Incorrect use of these words by the cry
of the drowning Frenchman who Is sup
posed to have exclaimed: "I will die,
no one shall help me." Will expresses
intention or decision, shall expresses a
future possibility which the speaker
does not Influence. However the use of
these words by the best writers and
speakers apparently follows different
rules. For a presentation of the diffi
culties of the subject see an article on
shall and will In the last "Bookman."
Is it correct to say Mrs. Professor
Brown if the lady designated by this
imposing title has no more claim to It
than that she Is the wife of Professor
Brown. I- N.
No it is incorrect and nothing but an
archaic cheet like "The Journal" still
continues to use it. In the first report
of the Presbyterian Jahr Markt, Mrs.
Dr. Ladd was mentioned the next day
Mrs .Dr. I,atta was spoken of. I tried
to find these names In the list of local
practitioners but failed. When a wo
man marries a man she takes his name
and draws the line there. She does not
become a minister or a doctor or a vet
erinary surgeon.
Should a lady take a gentleman's
arm or is it ever elegant for a gentle
man to take a lady's arm? Lady.
It is never elegant for a gentleman
to take a lady's arm. If the gentleman
offers you his arm and you feel the
need of a support because It is dark or
slippery or you are about to dance, take
It. Unless he is Bowery bred he will
not take yours.
Do business men prefer, other things
such as salary and ability being equal,
a man to a woman typewriter? G. W.
I think they do, "other things be
ing equal." I heard three or four men
discussing this subject just the other
day. They all agreed that a woman's
presence improved their English by
eliminating profanity from it. "And,"
one man said, "after getting accustom
ed to a woman's being in the room I
behave and talk in other respects Just
as I should if men only were present.
I put my feet on the table and spit
when I want to. It is not because I
feel a restraint in any way that I do
not like a woman typewriter, but be
cause she does so many things that
annoy me. Some of them chew gum.
All of them have little bags of choco
late creams, from which they are con
stantly nibbling. At luncheon time
they are apt to light up a little alcohol
stove and when I come into the room
there is a smell of something cooking.
Well, all this is annoying. If it were a
man I should ask him to stop it." The
other men chimed in and agreed with
the speaker. Now, girls, do not strain
the consideration often granted to you
because of your femininity. If you do,
on some slight pretext your employer
will dismiss you. The rules for success
In any business are the same for men
and women, viz.: Do not strain the in
fluence by which you secured your po
sition; do that for which you are paid
first, and do it the best you can and do
it before attending to your own business.
The Courier is not given to self-praise.
The publishers have preferred to send
the paper out on Its merits, without any
boasting. But the following extract
from a letter written by a valued sub
scriber, a foremost citizen of Lincoln.
Is particularly gratifying to the pub
lishers, and its publication is not, it is
believed, in bad taste:
"I want to say to you frankly that I
enjoy your paper In a way in which I
have enjoyed no other. It Is so frank
and brainy that it is refreshing to read
it. If our dailies in Lincoln were of the
same stamp, willing to be fair and hon
est, not afraid as is the Journal, nor
sensational like the News, or ready to
blackmail like the Call, what a differ
ence it would make in their influence in
this community. No Lincoln paper has
ever pleased me In so many ways as
The Courier, and I feel like thanking
you for influencing me to subscribe for
it."
