UNCLE WIGGILY AND
NOODLES NICKNACKS
By, HOWARD II. GARIs
BY HOWARD II. GARIs

One day. when Uncle wiggiIy was
out in front of his hollow stump
bungalow. cleaning the snow from
the path, he saw Noodle Flat-Tail,
the little beaver boy. coming paddi-
ing along with a basket on one
paw.
Hello, Noodle- called Uncle
wiggily in his most jolly nose
twinkling voice. where are you
goinG?"
ITO the store to buy some nick
nacks." answered the beaver boy.
Come along"
What are these nick-nacks
you're going to get at the store.
Noodle?" asked Uncle WiGrily as
they hoped over the fields and
through the woods.
"Oh. they are funny little cakes.
crackers or cookies made into Diff
ferent shapes" answered Noodle.
They must be very funny ana
nice" Uncle made remark. What
are they for-those nick-nacks?"
For play party" replied
Noodle. You see. Toodle, that's
my brother-he and l are going TO
give a little party for our sister,
and We thought nick-nacks would
be nice"
But when the grocery cat went
to look for nick-nacks he had only
a pound of the cakes. II guess III
have to give you the rest in animal
crackers; will they do?" asked the
cat.
''oh. yes: they'll be nice" the
beaver boy replied.
Then Uncle WiGEily and Noodle
started back over the snow agan.
but they had not gone very far be-
fore they felt tired, so they sat
down on a log, behind a big stone,
to rest
And while Uncle wiggiIy and
Noodle, with his nick-nacks and
animal crackers. were resting along
came the bad. old Pipsisewah and
the worse Skeezicks.
Now the Pip and the Skee. on the
other side of the rock heard this
talk, but they did not see that the
animals were only cracker ones.
So the Pip. when he heard Uncle
Wiggily speak of pulling out the
bears claws, whispered TO the Skee:

DECEMBER'S SHOWS NOT MATCH
FOR SPRINGTIME BLOOM OF MAY

By DOROTHY DIX

have ever known In my life were
the young wives OF elderly men who
had to corkscrew every penny they
got out of miserly old hands that
had a death grip on their pocket
Also practically all old>people are
tyrannical and arrogant They feel
that their age gives them a right 10
be dictatorial and impose their
views and code Of conduct on every
one else, and so the young wife in
stead of being able to lead her old
husband around by the nose finds
that she Is treated like a child and
expected to give a child's obedience.
Generally speaking. the marriage
between May and December turns
out disastrousiy for both parties.
There may be exceptions to the rule,
but the risk is too great to make>it
worth while to even take a sporting

ANNE
ANNA. ANITA, NANNETTE,
NANCY, HANNAH,

The charming simplicity Of Anne
is reached through a piquant his
tory. Its root is found in the He
brew Chaanach. signifying favor.
mercy. or grace. and frst known as
Hannah. mother of Samuel. wheth-
er the British custom of dropping
the preliminary n" originated in
those early days Is not authentic
ally substantiated. but certainly
Hannah became Anna in a very
short time. Quite erroneously, the
name was confused by the Romans
with their goddess Anna Perrennia,
presiding deity of the circling year.
st. Anna was a favorite with the
Byzantines from very early times.
In the days Of Christianity it
reached its greatest fame when 1t
became the name of the mother OF
the Blessed Virgin. Later, all OF
Europe adopted Anne with the ex-
ception of the Irish. who gave II
the charming Interpretation of
Aine. meaning Joy. Anne of Lux
emburg took her name into Eng
| land and there followed a long sue
cession of Annes, OF whom the best
! known were Anne Mortimer and
Anne Boleyn, Inflated wife of
Henry VIII.
1t was given to France by the
Breton heiress who was twice queen
of the empire. and her Italian grand
daughter. Anne d'Este, took IL to
Italy. where the custom of giving a
religious feast to the Virgin and her
mother gave rise to the coupling OF
the two names into Anna Marie or
Marianne. Since then no name has
undergone more varieties of endear-
nnnGidarinO that is al I'D "
so short that 1t scarcely lends itself
to abbreviation.
Scotland calls her Annot. France
has contributed numerous deriva-
tives. of which Annette. Nannette.
Nanon, Ninon and Nichette are the
most popular. Ana and Anita are
the typically Spanish Anne; Annica,
Mamma and Ninetta have been adopt
ed by Italy. English derivatives are
almost too many for mention here.
but the most familiar are Annie.
Nan. Mamie, and Nancy.
It's a curious fact that the poets
have neglected Anne as a subject for
immortal verse. They have chosen
rather her diminutives and written
odes to Annie and Mamie and even
to Annabel, which is enormously
thought to mean beautiful Anne"
but has a totally different deriva-
ton. Anne. calm eyed. gracious, eN-
lercising her prerogative of mercy
with cool detachment. is a wielder of
power-not a sentimentalist.
Quite as cool and efficient Is the
gem which Anne and her feminine
ldiminutive should wear as a tails
man-amber. Everyone knows the
curative and preventive qualities OF
the lovely transparent golden jewel.
Its popularity among the Scandina-
Wan peoples has extended to the
whole world and it's vogue is appar-
ent in the jewelry shops of every
country. Amber wards off illness
and the jinx OF bad luck. To dream
of il insures a safe voyage.
