ploying more men, or II the switch

will appreciate your interest il you
!! ask intelligent questions which
show that you understand what he
IL doing.
II you and your husband do no,
read together, you ought to. He
may say, however, that he Is toe
tired. in which case you will have
to read alone. II he reads and
does not want to read out loud

Carrie may almost be regarded

her origin is discovered in the
Karling romances of the Teutons.
Curiously, thefmeaning Of the name
Is translated as man." and Carries
genealogical predecessors were al
most universally masculine names.
The various Charles and Carls who
figure In English and Teutonic his

Carrie was evolved in English
after Carlet had been brought there
by the brave Lady Derby from the
house OF La Tremouille into which
