peace. I called on a woman across the

camp in a clump Of trees. Her husband
was cutting logs four or five miles away,

replies. 1.-THE word means what I
said too"
1T is queer that it should mean
two such different things. How
does it happenf" the boy Asks.
Then the father-if he happens to
be the right kind of a father-puts
aside his work and Gays, Bring me
tho dictionary"
The dictionary is brought and
opened to the word, and father and
son devote few moments to the in
quiry how a single word can have
two meanings apparently so diff
ferent. They find that chatelaine
comes from the French, and was at
FIRST spelled chastelaine, but that the
9 has disappeared, leaving only q
little footprint in the shape Of an
accent over the a.. Then it is dis
covered that chatelaine is really a
form of tho word castelar,, a short
form of the Latin word castellanus.
meaning a man who is the keeper
or owner of a castellum, or castle.
And then the dictionary says "v.
CASTLE" SO they turn back to castle.
They find that castle comes from
castel or chastel, which is the same
word in a different form that now
appears as chateau, and that it
comes from tho Latin castrum,
meaning a camp, while castrum
comes from casa, the Latin for hut,
a word still in. the same form in
Italian. "a curious instance of this
word is seen in the name of the boy
who stood upon the burning deck,
Casabianca, which is simply white
house"). Casa is the same word as
case or coyer-that is, a covering
from the weather-and that comes
from the Sanskrit root chhad, which
means a cover. Also from the
same root come cassock, chasuble
and casino, which, it may sur
prise you to learn, arc relatives of
the %chatelaine with which we start
ed. Now when we come to the
meaning'of chatelaine we see that
it meant, at first, the mistress of a
castle-that is, a keeper of the keys
to its supplies and stores-the house
keeper or housewife, and that her
name was applied to the little bunch
of keys carried at her belt, just as
in English we speak of a house.
wife, meaning a little case or box
that contains needles, thread, scis-
sors, thimble, and SO on. So now
we can e exactly how the same
word can mean a lady who is mis-
tress of a castle and a little con-
trivance for carrying at the belt
keys and other useful things.
After the boy has learned all these
things he turns to his father a little
scornfully and says: "Humphl If l
had known you were going to look
in the dictionary, / could have done
that myself" Then if his father
doesn't say, why didn't youa" we
ourselves may add that little moral
to the fable.
