In the furniture department Of a
big store chiffoniers with a patent
drawer that could be opened with
out pulling it out were on exhibit
ton. All day long the clerk packed
and unpacked the drawers of that
chiffonier, showing how easy it was
to stow away gloves, wells, blouses
and mems shirts and collars. Dur
ing one of the demonstrations the
manager of the department stopped
to watch him.
"Why don't you distribute things
a little more evenly?" he asked.
"Why do you devote the four top
drawers to women's apparel and
chuck everything belonging to men
in the bottom drawer"

MIDDLE NAMES.
They Used to Be illegal According to
Old English Law.

~ 'S'S ~
Middle names, hard as it is to
credit in this generation, were once
illegal. The old English law was
very definite as to the naming Of
children and, according to Coke,
"a man cannot have two names OF
baptism" ut is requisite" this
law goes on, chat the purchaser be
named by the name of his baptism
and his surname, and that special
heed be taken to the name of bap-
tism."
Royal personages have always
been allowed to have more than one
given name, but as late as 1900, it
is said, there were only four persons
in all England who had two given
names. In 1920 the Mayfower sail
ed for America, and there was not
a man or woman upon it who had
a middle name.
Even a century and a half ago
double names were very uncommon.
The English used to dodge the law
at times by in~geniously compound
ing names. Thus on old parish reg
listers in England there is occasion
ally seen such combinations as Fan
nasabilia, which is Fanny and Sibyl
joined together, and Annameriar,
made up of Anna and Maria. Maris
is one of the earliest middle names
of record for boys. 1t was given in
honor of the Virgin Mary. AS much
as they dared, beginning along in
the eighteenth century, parents
evaded the zone name law"
But even as late as 100 years ago
custom was against the middle
name. If the names of the signers
of the Declaration of independence
be looked over it will be found that
only three of them had middle
names. The first five presidents of
the United States had only one
name each-George Washington,
John Adams, Thomas Jefferson,
James Madison and James Monroe.
Before Grant, eighteenth of the
line, there were only three double
named executives-John Quincy
Adams, William Henry Harrison
and James Knox Polk.
When middle names got going
and became the fashion, the law
having dropped into disuse, parents
went to work combining names for
their offspring enthusiastically. One
custom was done away with in Eng
land in consequence of this, the
plan of naming the eldest son for
the estate, particularly when he sue
ceeds to that estate through his
mother. This old idea is still fol-
lowed to some extent in this coun-
try by the mothers maiden name
being given to the eldest son. 1t
identifies the boy when he grows to
manhood and SO has a positive val

present, however, which does just
that-The Youths Companion

N0SEBLEED.
In Most Cases II Is Said to Do More
Good Than Harm.

SOSd IMAM ElaTTs
Epistaxis-that is to say, nose
bleed-is an accident which will
sometimes occur in the best regu-
lated families and happily in most
cases need occasion no alarm. In
fact, it may often be hailed as an
advantageous symptom, especially
when it occurs in healthy, full
blooded young people. There are
also certain diseases, such as
Bright's or cirrhosis of the liver or
typhoid fever, when an attack of
nosebleed may do good rather than
harm-when it is, in fact, simply a
sign that Mother Nature is trying
to relieve her child in one way be-
cause she is baked in another.
In these cases the flow is benei-
cial, but the subject of the attack
should be watched in order that
there should not be undue profu-
sion, leading to a weakening of the
vital forces or if too prolonged to
a genuine anaemia.
When an attack of nosebleed
SEEM to be doing no harm, as in
the case of a young, healthy boy or
girl, it is best to let it alone or at
the most after a time to use some
very simple remedy, such as the APP
plication of cold over the brow by
means of a cloth wrung out Of quite
cold water or by snufing a little
cold water up the n~ostrils.
There are certain old fashioned
remedies, such as putting the key
of the front door down the back,
which do neither harm nor good,
but which owe their origin to the
same theory-the application of
cold and shock.
When cold water is snufed up
through the nostrils the addition Of
some mild astringent-alum or tam
min, for example-will make the
treatment more quickly eficacious.
Sometimes, when other slight
remedies seem to fail, pressing on
the nostrils will succeed in stopping
the flow.
As to internal remedies, there is
none known that is of any avail in
a dangerous nosebleed, and when
the danger point is reached there is
nothing to do but plug the nostrils.
When this treatment is called for
the physician should be sent for to
apply it, because he can by examina-
ton locate the exact point Of bleed
ing and will know just where the
pressure should come.
There are cases Of nosebleed, for
tunately very rare, where it il inn
possible to check the flow. These
cases r caused by a diseased state
Of the system which prevents coag-
ulation Of the blood, So that ii sim
ply flows and flows away from the
saffeser like Waser. 1t is we'll tibet
these cases are rare, as they are

First Type Printed Book.

The first book printed with type,
according to Pettigrew, was the
Latin Bible published by John Gu
tenberg at Layence, about 1855, but
Haydn is inclined to assign a some-
what dater date to this, making the
book Of Psalms, by Faust and
Schoeffer, printed on Aug. IA, 1457,
the first book.
The Gutenberg book is called the
Mazarin Bible, having first been
found in the library Of Cardinal
Mazarin.
There are only twenty copies of
this first edition known to exist, and
the workmanship in type, ink and
paper far exceeds that of any Of the
subsequent editions for 900 years.

Painting the Lily

"O KNOW when to stop is just as
important as to be able to begin.
Il That is a fact that applies just
as emphaucally to the making of a hat
or gown as TO the actions of every
day life. Many women blunder in the
wasteful and ridiculous excess of or
namentation that is as foolish as paint
ing the lily or gliding refined gold
against which the poet sings.
Just because a woman has bought one
dozen crocheted buttons she, If of the
blundering variety, must use the twelve.
Perhaps ten can be disposed of credit
ably, but the effect must be foolishly
sacrificed instead OF two buttons, and
the result falls short always of the good
style.
A wish 10 use as much as possible on
the little afternoon frock or the evening
gown is the stumbling block for many
home dressnalers. Certainly there can
be too much of a good thing. If little
piece Of velvet or maline be left, keep
H. Do not tack ii on the front. or
wind IL at the belt, just to feel that
economy is worth while. You can use
these short ends TO better advantage on

A PREDICTION

TIME re-advent Of the high line Is
apparent in a few models that.
- 10 be sure, are exploited by the
upholders OF the unusual: but coming
as these gowns do from makers of fash
Sons, there is reason to predict that the
normal line Of the waist is here for q
comparatively short time.
In many of the short jackets. which
no one can deny are established facts OF
fashion, there is the use of peplums or
pleated skirts, attached TO the basques
at a line that is decidedly above the
waist line.
The bolero effect is merely an inter
mediate step between the girdled gown
and the high line. On many OF the
lingerie frOcks the lace belts and girdle
effects are modified al the upper edges
ana manner that hints OF a return.
Evening gowns of the character that
show influences OF me perlodS OF fasnion
are not entirely free from the signs OF
the return. Dresses Of dresden silk or
fowered mull-few. to be sure, but
nevertheless present in the concrete
ere modelled after the lines of the wat
teau gowns; the straight pleated backs
Of these are surely not allied to any
belts.
Perhaps the strong reason for the re-
turn Of this line exists in the wish OF
they know that sweep from the waist
lne Of a gown 10 the hem of the skirt
IS able to accentuate length.
Al any rate, keep your modistic eyes
open and remember that you have been
told Of the coming of the high line.
