the New York Times, has tried all sorts
of fads as they have come up, but it is
the easiest thing in the world. tried
the Delsarte exercises at one time, and
for awhile, when my attack of the dis
ease was at its height, my family had
the pleasure of seeing me fall for their
amusement and enlightenment all
around the house. The great secret of
falling is to relax. If you slip and fall
some time when you do not wish to, if
you can only remember to relax your
muscles you will be saved perhaps from
a serious injury. Children and drunk
EN- people fall relaxed. My mind at that
time was filled with my desire to be al
ways relaxed, whenever the Delsarte
oracles said 1 must. So it happened
that one day I slipped on the street and
had heavy fall. Ipulled myself up in
u sitting position little dazed-I was
not sure whether had put my prin-
ciples into practice or not. l was
brought to myself by man who came
up, asking me, in considerate tone:
"'Are you seriously hurt, MADAME

Of my principles that instead of getting

CAR FARE ETIQUETTE.
Rules for Women Who Would Avoid
Argument for Themselves and
mbarrassment to Others.

p Always pay your, car. fare when you
would like others to pay theirs under
the same circumstances, advises the
: Chicago Tribune.
Nlf you are visiting city friends or
relatives for more than a day, pay your
Iare on all occasions. Your hostess will
regard it as O direct answer to prayer.
If you meet a social or business
woman friend as you are about to enter
l car, don't offer to pay her fare or per-
nit her to pay yours, and don't argue
about it.
a business woman never permits her
business men acquaintances to pay her
car fare. =.
The social man friend whom you have
met by chance must be dealt with tact
fully. By all means offer to pay your
own way boldly and briskly, but if the
nan displays tendency to argue the
question sapiently for blocks, as a mat
ter of self-preservation let him squan-
der the nickel.
When women go forth together for a
Dutch treat" pleasure time each one
should meet her own expenses to the
last cent, always including car fare.
F. Schoolgirls should. be taught not to
accept car fare courtesies from either
schoolboy or girl friends.

In the Canterbury Diocesan Gazette
there is an interesting and authentic
record of the use of Acts of the Apostles
as Christian name. The entries are
in the registers of Boughton-under-
Blean. Actsapostle, son of Thomas and
Elizabeth Pegden, from Dunkirk, was
baptized August 2, 17o5, and the burial
Of this Actsapostle Pegden, aged 70
years, took place November IA, 1865.
The name seems to have been abbrevi-
ated to Actsy, for the vicar of Bough-
ton has heard q parishioner speak of
her uncle Actsy Pegden. Again, Acts
Of the, Apostles, son of Richard and
Phoebe Kennett, was baptized at
Bougbton church April, 1893.
