1 TfiE PA1LY; ASTORIAJN, ASTORIA; FRIDAY MORNING, AjWtfi 6, W .. "STf .VI LADiT, OR WOMAN? -- -- One of the most Interesting pages or tne Ladaes' Home Journal for this month, Is thait given to a discussion of the question of the use ot the terms "lady," and "woman." It la a question perplexing to all of us, for it s very difficult to discriminate in the use of the two words, so nearly synonymous wiiUhbut sometimes feel 'lngr that we Qiave misused a. word and penhapg Injured some one's feelings. Mrs. eland lays down two good rules whlcih we can safely follow, al though we must sometimes make ex ceptions, aa to all general rules. "First, a woman w?)en referred to In conneotlcnn with her occupation In life, dhould 'be'spoken of a woman. For Instance, it la prefvnaMe to say sales woman, .washerwoman, and medical woman, rather than saleslady, washer lady, and mediloal lady. "Second, custom has sug-geelted that wihen we would refer to such persons "' In reference to their occupations, we -would, for he flake of courtesy, speak of them as ladles." The number of exceptions to the rules Is considerably lessened If we include also the definition that a lady is a woman plus education, refinement, dignity, and culture. But, after cull, in these days when "ladies" are so common, we can be moBt oompll mentor y if we use the term "woman," provided it be given t 1m the proper tone and m well chosen language. We ar reminded that there can be no phrase expressing greater appreciation than tfliiait used in speaking of a per son tas a "fine woman," while it might be a. very doubtful compliment if we were to say "fine lady." I lhave always Hiked the expression of a friend who said that a lady is one who is not adhiamed to be called a woman." Mrs. Deland's rules and. definitions are the beet general guides to the cor real use of the two words I 'have ever seen, and they will certainly be read with great pleasure, yet the necessity of exercising our Judgment ait all times if we would avoid offending those to wlhom we speak. For my ipart, my Judgment will in cline me to say "woman" whenever it is possible In preference to "lady." MARIE TEMPLEfTON. WAITER, BEEFSTEAK. HAM ANI EGGS FOR ONE.

Editor Astorlan: From your edttoriall this morning it appears that matters pertaining to 'the railroad are at last 'taking shape. And your suggestion to rouse up and get enthusiastic I heartily endorse. But in order to start this enthusing, would lit not be well for the subsidy committee to let the public, and espe cially the sutsaribers, know what has been done, what is doing, and what is proposed to be don? There Is a great deal of distrust end snaking of heads when anyone talks railroad, end the croaker is abroad wltlh his usuaJ: "I told you so." The silence on the pant of tlhe com mittee, tlhe seemdngly mysterious, and the "donU-tell-anyfoody-way" Jvhioh has (Uijltfherlto enveloped all railroad promotions in the past, ought to be dropped, and an open, public state ment made, to satisfy, not only the subscribers, hut Whe public at large, and silence the croakers for good and ever. A newspaper editorial is good, but is lacking In that authority which the committee alone can give. ONE OF THE PUBLIC. Be neighborly. Never accuse a friend of ihis shortcomings.
