Recently the well-known essayist and dramatist, Lord DUNSANY made a direct appeal at a lit- erary luncheon at Grosvenor House to save the English adjectives. Many well-known writers have revolted against the fashionable abuse of adverbs such as “definitely” and “absolutely.” This distinguished writer deplored the misuse of nouns, which are taking the place of adject- ives. He begged people to preserve “mysterious” and “luxurious” for posterity by introducing them in conversation and writing, instead of s cakin of "a m ster man" or "a luxur car." P 8 Y *Y* * Y

A GHOST* _sroav

(By Charles Dickens)

_ _\. s'i‘AvE ONE

* Marlslfs Ghost;

’Marley was deadsto ‘begin with. There is no doubt

whatever about that. The register of his burial was signed by the clergyman, the clerk, the undertaker, and the chief mourner. Scrooge signed it : and Scrooge’s name was good upon ’Change, for anything he chose to put his hand tc. Old Marley was as dead as a door-nail. - _

Mind ! I don’t mean to say that I know, of my own

knowledge, what there is particularly dead about a door- nail, I might have been inclined, myself, to regard ii coffin-nail as the deadest piece of lronmongery in the trade. But the wisdom of our ancestors is in the, simile; and my unhallowed hands shall not disturb lt, or the Coui\try's done for. You will therefore permit me to repeat, em- phatically, that Marley was as dead as a door-nail.

Scrooge knew lie was dead? Of course he did. How

could it be otherwise? Scmogs and he were partners for I don’t know how many years. Scrooge was his sole execu- tor, his sole administrator, his sole assign, his sole residuary legatee, his sole friend, and sole mourner. And even Scrooge was not so dreadfully cut up by the sad event, but that he was an excellent mmi of business on the very day of the funeral, and solemnised it. with an undoubted bar-

ain. ' ~

_g The mention of Marley’s funeral brings me back to the point I started from. There is no doubt that Marley was dead. This must be distinctly understood, or nothing wonderful can come of the story I am going to relate. lf we were not perfectly convinced that Hamleifs Father died before the play began, there would be nothing more remarkable in his taking a stroll at night, in an easterly wind, upon his own ramparts, than there _would be in any other middle-aged gentleman raslrly turning out after dark in a breezy spot-say Saint Pau|’s Churchyard for in- stance-literally to astonish his son’s weak mind.

Scrooge never painted out Old Murley’s name. Thero~

it stood, years afterwards, above the warehouse door: Scrooge and Marley. The firm was known as Scrooge :ind Marley. Sometimes people new to the business called Scrooge Scrooge, and sometimes Marley, but he answered to both names : it was all the same to him, `

Oh l But he was a tight-listed hand at the grindstone,

Scrooge! a squeezing, wrenching, grasping, scraping, clutching, covetous old sinner! Hard and sharp as lint, from which no steel had ever struck out generous fire; secret, and self-contained, and solitary as an oyster. The cold from within him froze his old features, nipped his pointed nose, shrivelled his cheek, stiffened his gait; made his eyes red, his thin lips blue; and spoke out shrewdly in his grating voice. A frosty rime was .on his head,.and on his eyebrowws, and _his wiry chin. He carried his own lo_wr temperature always about with him; he iced his office in the dog-days; and didn’t. thaw it one degree at Christmas.-

External heat and cold had little influence on Scrooge.

No warmth could warm, nor wintry weather chill him. No wind that blew was bitterer than he, no falling snow was more intent upon its purpose, no pelting rain less open to entreaty. Foul weather didn’t know where to, have him, The heaviest rain, and snow, and hail, and sleei. could boast of the advantage over him in only one respect. They often “came down” handsomely, and Scrooge never

did. _

Nobody ever stopped him in the street to say, with glad-

some looks, “My dear Scrooge, how are you '! When will you come to see mel” No beggars implored him to be- stow a trifle; no children asked him what it was o’clock; no man or woman ever once in all his life inquired the way to such and such a place, of Scrooge. Even the blind men’s dogs appeared to know him, and when they saw him com- ing on, would tug their owners into doorways and up courts; and then would wagtheir tails as though they said, “No eye at all is better than an evil eye, dark mas- terl”

But what did Scrooge care ? It was the very thing he

liked. To edge his way along the crowdedpaths of life, warning all human sympathy to keep its distance, was what the knowing ones call “nuts” to Scrooge. _

Once upon ii time-of all the good days in the year, on

Christmas Eve-old Scrooge sat busy in his cou_ntlng- house. It was cold, bleak, biting weather : foggy withal: and he could hear the people in the court outside_go wheez- ing up and down, beating their hands upon their breasts, and stamping their feet upon the pavement-stones to warm them. The City clocks had only just gone three, but it was quite dark already : it had not been light all day : and candles were daring in the windows of the neighbouring offices, like ruddy smears upon the palpable brown air The fog came pouring in at every chink and keyhole, and was so dense without, that although the court was of the narrowest, the houses opposite were mere phantoma. To see the dingy cloud come drooping down, obscuring every- thing, one migh thave thought that Nature lived hard by. and was brewing on a large scale.

The door of Scrooge’s counting-house was open that _he

might keep his eye upon the clerk, who in a dismal little cell beyond, a sort of tank, was copying letters. Scrooge had a very small fire, but the clerk’s fire was so very much smaller that it looked like one coal. But he cou'idn’t. re- plenish it, for Scrooge kept the coal-box in his own room; amd so surely as the clerk came in with the shovel, the master predicted that it would be necessary for them to part, Wherefore the clerk put on his white comforter, and tried to wai1n~himself at the candle; in which effort, not being a man of a strong imagination he failed.

“A Merry Christmas, uncle! God save you!" cried a

cheerful voice. It was the voice of Scrooge’s nephew, who came upon him so quickly that this was the first intlmation he had of his approach.

“Bah l" said Scrooge, ‘Humbug l” , ‘ l-Ie had so heated himself with rapid walking in the fog~

and frost, this nephew of Scrooge’s, that he was all in a glow; his face was ruddy and handsome; his eyes epnrltled,

and his breath smoked again. ~

’ 'Christmas a huinhug,uncle!" said-Sci'ooge’a nephew.

“You don’t mean that, I am sure.” ‘ f

` "I do,” said Scrooge. “Merry Christinui What. right

have you to be merry 'I What reason have you to be mer- ry? You’re poor enough.” . _ , _ ' "Come, then,” returned the nephew, gayly. “What right have you to be dismal ‘I What. right have you to be moijoee 7 You’re rich enough.” i _

` Sir.-Al Christmas draws

‘with your oo-operation it' 1| will to draw 'to the attention of the public the necessity ot eareliiineas in the stores, the homes, the nohuolhouses and halls throughout the Province. The stores are all rushed- at this time of the year and there may be a tendency to allow lrlflarnmable refuse. such as paper. cartons, etc., to accumulate. In the stores, the homes ,the schoolhbuses and halls decorations are being prepared for the- festivities which are always us- ual at. Christmas- Many types of l decorations are used, some of which are safe and some very dangerous. The Christmas tres, which is prob- ably the means of the most enjoy- ment Gilwcially to the little ones, if properly handled need not be a menace, providing it is not kept in- doors tco long. After a. week in- doors the tree besins to dry and its inflammability is increased tremen- dously. With reasonable carp and the use of non-inflammable orna- ments there should be very little danger from this source. If, how- .evez-, inflammable ornaments are used, especially candles, the Joys of Christmas may very quickly be turned to deep sorrow and grief in the loss not only of the home but of human life.

A few years ago in the western

part of the United States the usual Christihas celebrations were being held in the schoolhouse, the child- ,ren and their families were all as- sembled aud in the midst of the joyous festivities a Christmas tree, lighted by candles, became ignited, _set fire to the decorations in the building and so rapid was the spread of fire that when the loss was counted it included thirty-three lives. This may readily happen ln our own communities if great care

is not exercised.

A few suggestions that I have in

mind follow: `

In the Storee: Refuse should be

gathered up daily and disposed of.

All exits should be clear so that

the customers could leave the store

easily in case of accident.

Decorations should be of a nou-

inflammable, type. and paper novel- ties impregnated with a flreprooflng solution are obtainable at your local stores. Use these instead of the

type of decoration that will burn.

In the Homes: Make sure there

are no fireworks or candles which might. start a fire, especially around

the tree. `

In the Halls and Schools: Decor-

ations should be of the non-inflam-

mable type.

Adequate exits available, and no l

candles or fireworks used, especially

around the tree.

I wish to thank you for your valu-

able space and co-operation in plac-

ing my letter before the public.

I am. Sir, atc.,
