ARE YOU ONE OF THEsEr


Now there be five varieties Of the
female bore, each more deadly than
the other.
The first is the Woman Who Has
Seen Better Days. You meet her
eyerywhere, but she chiefly abounos
in business Offices and boarding
houses. Within fve minutes Of your
first meeting with her. she has told
YOU that she never expected to come
to this. and after you have known
her twenty-five years, she is stlll
telling you the same thing.
She is a photograph with one
record, and il never occurs to her
that no human being except herself
cares a tinker's dam about her peol-
gree, or the riches her family used
to have, or is interested in any
"has-been" stuff. All we care for
is the nOw-present
The Woman Who Has Seen Better
DAYS never learns to DO her work
properly. because she thinks that

plebeian woman who is having her

And il she keeps boarders, she feels
that you should not object to the
coffee being as weak as dishwster,
because II is poured oyt Of Great
Grandmother's silver coffee pot
About which. and the splendor in
which she was reared, she crates
endlessly.
The second among bores is the
Woman Who Tells You Her Trou-
bles. She keeps her tears on tap
tunity. She comes to see you and
weeps on your breast until you are
sodden with salt water. She is like
the uncanny bird that lives BY
feastinr on its own heart. and shf
forces you TO partake Of her hideou'
meal.
She tells you tales Of tne horrible
brutality with which her HUSBAND
treats her. but she goes on living
with him. She relates piteous stories
of her children's ingratitude, but
she continues to cherish them. She
bewails her poverty. She lament'
her bad luck. She bemosns her il

bow. And now let's start cutting
hay"
So Uncle WiggilY. Ssmmie and
Susie Littletail, Jollie and Jillie
Longtail. the mice, together with
Jackie and Peetie Bow Wow, Toodle
and Noodle. the beaver boys, with
Grandpa Whackum. the oldest
beaver OF them all, started to cut

"Gnaw, gnaw, snibbfe. snip
went the teeth of the animal folk
and spear after spear of the hay
fell, to be gathered up later by Cup
and carted to the barn.
All of a sudden, as Uncle Wig
eily was gnawing down a thick
clump Of hay, Jackie Bow WOW,
who was next to the old rabbit gen

What's the NATTER? asked the
bunny.
Hush whispered Jackie. Don't
say a word, Uncle Wiggily. nor
make a move. no matter what l do.
Just keep still! Believe me, I'm o.
ing it for your good"
Then, all at once. Jackie took up
| a paw full of hay and stuffed it
down the back of Uncle wiggily's
jumper, or overall coat, so it stuck
out above the bunny's head.
Next the puppy dog Stuffed some
hay in the front of Uncle Wiggily's
blue jumper, so the ends stuck up
like fringe in front of the bunny's
face.
What in the world" whispered
MI. LOnEeaTS.
Hush" whispered Jackie. and
then he stuffed hay up the bunny
eentleman's sleeves and in the ends
of his trousers until Uncle Wiggily
looked exactly like a figure stuffed
with straw. Then Jackie rolled un-
der a pile of hay to hide.
Well, of all things" thought Un-

But just then, all OF a sddden,

he howled. He came to a stop in

right at the bunny. Well, this Is

Then Jackie, with his mouth

Of Felix, which seems to haYe been
an aEnomen assumed by any indi-

himself unusually fortunate. 1t ap-

words and names signifying good
fortune in modern languages.

appears in Italy. Spain and the
South OF France. From FeliCe have
come Felicia in England and Felise
in France. There was, a Felicia
who was queen of Navarro in 1857.
The old Romans had a goddess of
happiness whom they called FeliCi-
tas The slave martyr of Carthage,
who suffered with St. Perpetua, was
so called, and there was another Fe-
Hcitas under Antonius Plus who,
with her seven sons, presented a
Christian parallel to the mother in

Felicia has always been the favor

used among the PUritans. and still

The Head Nurse

EAT LESS IN SUMNER.

We hear much about tightening
the diet in the hot weather, but We
have as a rule a rather vague idea
As to the real reason why digestion
Is more dlfIcuIt in warm than in
cold weather.
During digestion, particularly IN
the earlier stages when secretion
IS at its maximum, a very large
supply Of blood is needed in the
stomach, the panCreas and the in
testine. Now when the skin IS
cool the capillaries are contracted
and several extra pints of blood
are available for the use of the
Internal organs. In hot weather the
blood vessels Of the skin are dilated
and filled with blood. and while the
skin remains in this superheated
condition it does not matter how
franticalIy the stomach sends out
an S. o. 5 for blood il can not cali
it in from the superficial vessels.
During the digestiO nof a meal
the chemical activities of the Sc
cretion- the peristaIic movements
in the intestines. etc. somewhat in
crease heat production in the body
and this increase makes us feel
warmer On a warm humid day
when the blood flow in the skin is
ALREADY excessive and its tempera-
ture unduly high the digestion of a
meal often adds to the discomfort
because the larger production OF
heat leads to further dilation of the
skin vessels.
So small meals of easily digested
materials is the rational thing for
summer. Meat should be eaten
only every other day and fruit and
milk find a large place on the
dietary
