UNCLE WIGGILY TRIES

Come on. Jimmie! You're it for

wobble to her brother one day as
they were standing on the edge of
the duck pond. Lulu waddled up
to her brother and Tipped him with
her wing.
Tag! You're itw she Quacked.
Land or water tag?" asked Jim

Both" answered Lulu.
Next IT was Lulu's turn to tag
Jimmie and she raced after him in
the water and on land until she had
caught him. for Lulu Wibblewobble

1t came TO playing games.
Hello! What's going on?" sud
denly asked Uncle Wiggily Long

of the pond.

said Uncle Wiggily to Jimmie, when
the game was over and the old rab-

why, it is easily DONE" quacked
Jimmie.
DO you think so?" asked the
rabbit gentleman.
of course" was the answer. IF
you had webbed feet like me. and
your fur was sort of oily. as my
feathers are oily. SO the water runs
on them, you could swim as easily
as do"
I've a good notion to try" said
Uncle Wiggily, thoughtful like. 1T
ought to be easy enough to grease
my fur with some lard from your
mothers kitchen. As for webbed
feet"
Il could tie some pieces of table

mine"
Then he and the old gentleman
rabbit went of to a quiet little
corner of the pond, where no one
would see Uncle Wiggily trying to
learn to swim like a duck.
Il don't want Nurse Jane making
fun OF me-" said Uncle Wiggily.
First Jimmie went in the kitchen
where he snibbed a lot of lard.
when his mother and the muskrat
lady weren't looking. Then Jim
mie cut some pieces off the edge
of the kitchen table oilcloth. These
pieces were to make Uncle Wig
gily's paws webbed. like Jimmie's
duck feet.
Now you're all ready to swim" "
said Jimmie. Jump right in and
strike out"
You talk as though this were

HOW TO RETAIN A wIFE,s
AFFECTION.


New idea to you, isn't 1t, son?
The girl whom you are going to
lead to the altar in a few days is
wildly. romantically in love with
you. and you are firmly convinced
that she'll stay that way. without
any assistance on your part. be-
cause all of your life you have
heard of a woman's answering de-
votion, and woman's faithfulness,
and you have an idea that a
woman's heart is a sort of perpet-
ual motion machine. Once get 1t
going. 1t goes forever. Nothing
stops 1t.
Tommyrot son. Pure bunk. A
woman's love is as fragile as an
air fed orchid, and as easily
crushed. Don't kid yourself into
thinking that just because a woman
wears a ring on her wedding finger
and a preacher has mumbled some
words over her. that she goes on
automatically adoring the man she
is tied to. because she is built that
way and can't help 1t. Take it
from me that it is far harder for
a man to preserve his wife's af-
fection than II is for woman to
preserve her husbands affection,
because women look so much closer
at a bargain to see what they have
got than men do.
Now the most important thing in
the world to a man Is to keep his
wife in love with him. and fooled
into thinking that she has drawn
the capital prize in the matri-
monial lottery. For your wife to
remain in love with you insures
always be breaking her neck to
please you. and she will be happy
and contented herself, and a happy
and contented wife makes a peace
full and cheerful home.
Also, for your wife to be in love
with you insures your prosperity.
A woman whose husband is still the
hero of her girlish dreams works
her fingers to the bone trying to
help him along. while the dis
gruntled and disillusioned wife, who
realizes that she has been gold
bricked by Cupid, takes to extrav-
agance, as a man. takes to drink, to
drown her sorrows as a solace for
her disappointment.
The Importance of keeping your
wife in love with you being con-
ceded on both sentimental and
practical ground. the question then
remains of how to do it.
No. to be loved we must look low
able and while we may esteem the

a red-haired woman with a will of
her own and a magnetic If not fasci-
mating personality. Isabella of
Spain, known to Americans chiefly
because she pawned her Jewels to
Irovide funds for Columbus to use
to finance his little journey to dis
cover the new world, shows again
that red-haired women make good
rulers. She was far more beautiful
than Elizabeth, however. Her COM
plexion was very fair, with hair. that
was bright chestnut inclining to
red" She was, says a contemporary,
the bandsomest lady whom 1 ever
beheld and the most gracious in
manner" Just to mention another
red-haired woman at random, Mary
Eddy, the founder or Christian
Science. had in her youth "a shower
of chestnut curIs-the sort of au-
turn red hair that goes with a fair
complexion and great dark blue
eyes"

virtues Of the .untidy We cannot
cherish any romantic dreams con-
corning them. Therefore the man
who wants to retain his wife's af-
fection must not throw away the
bait with which he caught her. No
woman ever fell in love with a man
who did not dangle before her eyes
delicate little attentions. and who
did not ply her with gifts and re-
membranes.
Being married does not alter a
woman's nature. She still rises to
the same bait. and If her husband
will continue to tell her that she is
the only woman in the world for
him. and that in his eyes she grows
| more beautiful every day; IL he
will only bring her a box of candy
now and then. and remember her
birthday. he can keep her dangling
on the line until their golden we'd
ding day.
But II a man Is too careless, or
too confident, or too Indifferent to
pay his wife any of these little at
tentions, some fine day he will find
out that she has wriggled off of the
hook, and that her heart has drifted
away from him forever.
The third important point in re-
tanning a wife's affection is to treat
her like an Intelligent human being.
Don't start out with the assump-
ton that a wife Is a baby doll to
be dressed up, and played with when
you are at leisure, and forgotten
when you are busy; or a domestic
slave to work in your kitchen for
her board and clothes.
And il you want to keep your wife
on her knees thanking God for her
! luck in getting you. do something
| every day to make her happy and to
show her that you love her and are
thinking of her. Any man can pre-
serve his wife's affection IL he wants
to. but it takes care and thought to
| do 1t.

What S in a aName?
By Mildred Marshall.
EVELINA.

ENELllNA.
The feminine names beginning
with Eve" are legion, yet each, Gu
riously. is a separate name and
possesses a different meaning. Eva,
for instance, signifies life. while
Evelyn means hazelnut. and Evelina
or Eveline, is translated pleasant"
Eveline made its appearance
among the Normans before the mar
riage of the Earl of Pembroke.
Aveline. said to be it's equivalent,
was the name of the sister Of Gun
mar. the great grandmother Of WILL
lam the Conqueror. The Lady OF
the Garde Douloureuse in the Be
trothed" was called Eveline.
Aveline seems to have been more
popular than it's equivalent in early
times, since old chronicles record
more instances of the former name
than the latter. The wife of the last
Earl of Lancaster was called Ave-
lima de Longo Campo. Her daugh-
ter. Eveline. was heiress to the
great county of Lancaster.
Before Miss Burney's popular
novel presenting Evelina-a name
which she herself invented as an
elaborated form of Eveline-was
published. Eveline had almost dis
appeared in England, but there wa.
an immediate revival of the name.
The new fashion Of adding a final
"a" was followed. of course, and
Evelina was established in popu-
larity for many years. Unfortunate
ly for Evelina, the tendency was to
confuse her with Evelyn, especially
when the craze for names contain
ing a ~" made its appearance.
Evelina's talismanic gem Is the
agate. 1t promises her courage,
guards her from danger. and cures
insomnia, it is said. Thursday is
her lucky day and her lucky num-
ber. The wild rose is her flower.

Don't ToeOut"

The Boy Scouts. the Girl Scouts
and the other out-of door move
ments where hiking is involved
are doing much 20 help get away
from the silly idea of teaching
children to turn out their toes in
walking. Ore OF the reasons Ameri-
cans have so little pleasure in
walking as a recreation is that
they have been taught an incor-
rect use OF the ankle. and couse-
quently get no real pleasure from
walking.
The ankle is a hinge joint and
should move in a plane perpcndic-
Ular to the axis of motion in the
joint. This is possible in taking a
step only when the toes are pointed
forward. Each step should be COM
pleted with a sort OF digging in"
motion of the toes, which is OBJ
viously out of the question with
the feet set at an angle of fifteen
degrees. So il you have reached a
time Of life where you know you
should walk and you have never
learned how-begin now.
Strengthen the foot muscles by
such exercise as standing on tip
toes" and by the usual gymnastic
movement OF heels rise. knees
bend" familiar in setting-up cNer-
cises. This training must be grad
ual when the feet and ankle joints
and muscles have been weakened
by improper use. First the proper
shoe for walking. and then short
walks with the new style action"
Otherwise, the extra strain on
poorly adjusted bones and muscles
will strain the ligaments and leave
the feet in worse condition than
before. AS TO shoes-it they turn
of TO point at the great toe joint
when soles and heels are touching
they will weaken the transverse
arch, cause bunions, and cause you
to toe out" Chuck them.
