LADY.—The Mobilo He ald says:6
In speaking of the Pre ident's journey, all
the papers say. tho 'lady o I. the, President.'
The .word 'wife' is dearer, prettier, and mere I
appropriate. Anotheerefeirm would be well 1
in newspaperdom—that is, 'the substitution I of
the good old word ' womant i . for ' lady.' A la
dy is a thing that usually brine. up visionsl of
hustles and. buckram. , Eve was a , woman, not
n r,
a lady. Woman is the woid of poetry, se 'ti- 1
moot, worship, classic dignity, and elegance. 1
Lady is, a word of art', arid has no sort ofj
meaning as it is usua ll yrepplied.l Let' stn id,
people use the latter. Tl4se who honor he
sex should adhere to theldrmer."
, 1 '
We: agree with the 4 Mo ile editor, that it
would be better to say the wife of the Prcsi-
I
dent, but do not: see the j tree of his advice to
newspaperdom as 'to the word lady. _ by
