The study of words is an interesting one. Each word has its delicate shade of meaning and its use, as to fitness, depends upon the viewpoint of the person using it. When one travels a certain distance away, he is said to ‘go;” when he returns, he is said tc- ‘‘come" —from the viewpoint of the person at home; and yet the ground traveled over in each instance may be the same. Persons evidently unversed or careless in the shades of meaning, which are as varied as the tints in a great picture or the tones in a great tone-picture, once raised a great to-do because a reporter wrote of a certain citizen who was visiting away from home, that she was "privileged" to meet a certain former resident of her home town at a party. From the viewpoint of the others attending the party, the word “privi--1«3” Wo.tlu have been !r correct, because all the members of the party had the same enjoyment. But from the viewpoint of the people in the home town, at which place the social item was written, the word "privilege," meaning In one case “special enjoyment of a good,” used thus, was correct, because that one visiting person, of all the others of the home town enjoyed that peculiar opportunity of meeting that person at that time. So, there!
