Nearly all of us are guilty of using that over-popolur word "definitely." We are all "definiely going home," or have "definitely no inention of playing bridge," or pre even "definitely going to buy a new hat. Then there is the old die-hard "absolutely," which Soinc women fulthfully. "Absolutely "absolutely the last word." #absolutely the latest fashion," they declare with pride.

Then we all know the "bright young things" who describe every thing from a movie to u motor car as "terribly nice," "400, too divine," and "awfully jolly." We sometimes wonder how their boy friends like to listen to those over- worked phrases. But probably they don't notice, as they use them SO much themselves!

It is a good Idea to review Our vocabularies now and again, and re- solve to discard some of these over- worked phrases of ours.
