Did you ever notice how she says 'i--ron' the way people say it when they're reading poetry out loud?
I'll bet, if he had her help, the author of 'One Hundred Common Errors' could take an _Argus_ and run his list up to a hundred and fifty in no time.

She keeps finding common errors there that I'll bet this fellow never heard of.

You mustn't say 'by the sweat of the brow,' but 'by the perspiration'-- perspiration is refined and sweat is coarse--and to-day I learned for the first time that it's wrong to say 'Mrs.Henry Peterby of Plum Creek, _nee_ Jennie McCormick, spent Sunday with her parents of this city.' It looks right on the face of it, but it seems you mustn't say 'nee' for the first name--only the last; though it means in French that that was her name before she was married.

I tell you, that woman is a stickler.

But what can I do ?" "Well, what _can_ you do?
Far be it from me to suggest that something must be done." "Do you know, Cal, sometimes I've thought I'd adopt a tone with her ?" "Better be careful," I cautioned.
