I have never had an opportunity of traveling through the West,
but I am told that the localisms are as mixed as the population.
Coming back to Pennsylvania we find it hard to point out many
localisms, because the expressions are sill familiar to us. But
when one is asked, as I have teen several times when traveling
through other States, "are you not a Pennsylvanian?” I feel
very sure that Pennsylvania has her localisms and that I use
them freely. F. T. B.
