liOMMENT AND GOSSIP AMONG
THE WOMEN, BY ONE
OF THEM.
Not every child has gone to the
length Of inventing a language to ex-
press thOSe many sensations to which
the duly accredited languages have
given. no name, -but which sensations are
none the less real and vivid to child-
hood, and. in some cases retain their
reality in adult years.
Every one who has ever been a child
will, however, find interest in a cur~
rent magazine article treating bravely
of? the secret language of childhood.
The words therein enumerated may be
foreign to some readers, but surely
there is no reader that cannot recall
the impressions which most of the
_ wordsseek to impress.
There is, for-instance, “an unexplain-
ablescnsation about an old blue pump.”
Howsmany. onetime little boys and
girls can remember thrilling with this
. yery emotion,.coupled-, 'no doubt, with.
theg‘longing-toiput it into 'WOrds, and
theregret that there was no word in
any known language embodying it.
.‘Ic‘cording to the article, it seems
that there were children who some
time since gave the bluepump‘ sensar:
. ‘tion‘the name of “Thuks,” concerning
' She-fitness of which Opinion may vary,
hiit thatdoesn’t matter. , The point is
thatthe emotion which the word, seeks
, logexpressi‘s common to many children.
‘ , The same-is true of .“nottlefl’ an ad-
jective which, we are told, describes
.“the kind of practical children Who
play dolls and ,‘horse’, as a matter of
' . course.” They may not have called it-
“bottle.” but there are many grown-
ups to whom the definition of this word
will recall the whole histories of as-
sociations.
The “feeling in going up or down
stairs that there is one more step, and,
thinking there is, taking it,” is in this
vocabulary, called “lullish,” awakens a
troo pwof. memories. -
Sodoes the meaning of “mousy,” an
ailfiv'eetive “applied to your unfortunate
companion, who is not wanted, is in the
way, and is staying in the hope of get~
ting something by it.”
‘fO‘wl‘y, the feeling one has when one
has found anything,” and “kewish,
feeling numbcrless eyes upon you when
you are about to recite something” are
sensations as separate as the poles,
but there are few children who have
not experienced them.
In commenting upon this and similar
manifestations of the secret language
instinct among _c‘nild,ren, the article
comments upon the "great Inventive-
ness, anqzuisitiveness, p .tience and
language forming ability” of juveniles.
But the reader, however she may ad-
mi‘re these qualities, and however, she
may recognize the sensations they seek
to express, cannot but wonder as to
inst how much the language was due to
a wholesale, it unconscious, absorption
of the writings of that master—expresser
of things inexpressihle, Lewis Carroll.

Judging by the way most people talk

The way that flags are being stolen
