THE GLOOMY DEAN.
CARS FOR CONVERSATION. LONDON, January 7. Railway compartments exclusively for talkers instead of smokers is the latest suggestion of Dean Inge, who maintains that leisured reading is the greatest human pleasure. The Dean condemns as ''detestable" the jargon of commercial correspondence, instancing such expressions as "even date,'' "yours to hand." and "as per." while he denounces the use of the word "same" as Vicing "especially horrible."
