What's in a Name
MYRTLE
(Copyright)


Myrtle is both a floral name and an
tappellative growing out OF ancient
Greek mythology. The fragrant white
Towering shrub which adorns so
many trim gardens is modern product
of the evergreen which bloomed on
the Hellenic hills and occupied a
place. of honor in the gardens of
Olympus.
The ancients believed the myrtle to
be sacred to Venus, goddess of love,
and the superstition carried over into
new-world nomenclature, so that the
fortunate possesSor of the name OF
Myrtle is thought to possess the Sc
cret of love and attraction. Certain
.ly, if she wears a sprig of Nenus's
symbol above her heart, she will be
Irresistible, according to the ancient
belief.
Despite the charming fancy which
accounts for its derivation, Myrtle Is
more often regarded as floral name
by etymologists. Its greatest vogue
is undoubtedly in England. though OF
late years it has attained great popu
larity here. unfortunately losing much
of its dignity in transit
The emerald is Myrtle's talismanic

Today's Talk
BY George Matthew Adams
THE MAN WHO CANNOT LOSE.

iTE MAN WIN CANNOI LOSE.
There is an invisible pivot on which
every man turns his character.
Instinctively, somehow, we feel the
whole solid bearing of some men the
very minute we stand before them.
They carry about them a preponder-
ance of proof that they do not lose
tattles-but win them
These are the men whom the whole
world trusts.
This pivot may pass for it's worth
under many names-a sense of justice,
; q balanced will, trustworthiness ma
turity of sympathy, practical idealism,
! deep-grained sincerity spiritual ap.
probation. inbred democracy of feel
! ing.
If what you are, springs from one Of
these facts of power, you cannot lose
no matter what may come to pass.
The man who wins, knows that ne
cannot-or could not-fal
The issues of success are drawn
clearly You may have to detour at
times. but there are always signs
pointing you back to the main road.
ALI you have to do, is to keep your
eyes open, and watch out.
The man who doesn't lose, doesn't
put things off for tomorrow which
Snoulu ne dOle toudF' ne doeSu /
whine He doesn't waste time.
Also-he has no quarrel with fate
or circumstances.
The man who cannot lose, doesn't
stop at every cross corner to see what
IL being discussed. He never con-
tends that the universe has to consult
him before it can go ahead.
The man who cannot lose is always
scattering the seeds of his own success
as he goes along.

And still we stand and wonder why
The things we have to buy are high,
And so does everyone else

Borrowing and Saving

Commenting on an unprecedented increase in
the number of savings bank depostors, the New
York Times says the totals of the deposits and

mot only unprecedented but astounding" New
accounts increased to S3,658, 435 and deposits
from s2o42,O11,1O4 to s2,267 1898, 1893 The
Times adduces the figures to show that not all
wage earners are MASTERS and spendthrifts and
that many of them have prepared themselves to
weather financial storms and panics.
But the Times sees another side of the pic
ture. Referring to the prosperity of the pawn
brokers, who in the light of the foregoing, should
not be enjoying much prosperity, the Times says

BRIDES SHOWER.


A young girl in one of the West
ern States gave such a clever show
err this spring to a friend who was
getting married. that it deserves to
be repeated.
Instead Of a luncheon. she invited
the crowd" in to tea and as she
invited them she showed them a list
of the things she had made out that
/ they were to bring; each one looked
it over and crossed off the thing
she would buy for her part of the
shower. The gift of the hostess was
an oil mop. The list contained a
calendar, soap-shaker. two dish towels,
buster. a bungalow apron and an
ordinary kitchen apron, rubber gloves,
pepper pot, a nutmeg crater, cook
ie- cutter and a dougnnut cutter, two
large baking-pans exactly alike and
Kitchen knives, forks and spoons.
A Mop IL Her Backbone
She requested that these be brought
around or sent to her on the day be-
fore the tea. On the evening of that
day she created" the kitchen god
dess. The mop that she selected had
of 1t. After drawing the strings of
of the mop back around this in a
most becoming pomadour, she paint
ed face on white paper muslin and
fastened it to the pad. She trimmed
the colander with one of the dish
towels. the two cutters and soap
shaker, and perched it jauntily atop
the goddess head. She padded the
stick of the mop and put on it the
bungalow apron with the other one
tied snuEley around the waist.
The pepper pot and crater hung a la
chatelaine from her waist, the buster
was tucked into her pocket the other
dish towel was folded fichu-fashion
about her shoulders. and the rubber
gloves fastened to the apron sleeves.
The two tin baking pans, fastened
together with strap, made a very
good suitcase for her majesty. Into
this were put the knives. forks and
spoons "a Kitchen Goddess, was
painted across one side.
This marvellous work of art was
set up in one corner of the living
room and covered with a sheet, so
arranged that when certain strings
were pulled the sheet fell to the
floor.
! When the guests were all assembled
the hostess called for silence. and
then she announced that a statue
was to be unveiled, and asked the
guest of honor to officiate. She step
ped up and pulled the strings as
directed and the sheet fell.
