Adelaide has an heroic signifi-
canoe: it means noble cheer. 1t
is distinctly Teutonic name.
coming from Adilo or Odilo. Ado
and Addo are still in use as proper
names but other syllables have been
added for the more modern version.
Curiously, Adele and Adela oc-
cur very early in history, unlike
most names which show quaint
and sometimes almost unrecog-
nizable forms in their beginnings.
Adal was a prefix used frequently
among the Teutonic races and
Adalheit or Adelchen were dimin-
utives given to the daughters of
the family. It was translated to
mean noble estate" and thus the
princess of each little Frankish
duchy was the ''nobleness thereof"
All the feudal princes of the
tenth and eleventh centuries seem
to have had an Adelheid to offer
in, marriage and they have Latin
lied her in all manner of ways.
The French have made great use
of all forms of the name. The Teu-
tonic races, in honor perhaps of
the Italian Queen Adelaide, whose
adventures, before her marriage
with Emperor Otho. were so curl
GUS - preferred Adelaide to all
other forms. From them, England
received it again with their good
Queen Adelaide. whose popularity
made it so frequent. Italy calls
her Adalaida and Alisa. France
makes her Adeline.
Adelaide's jewel is the turquoise
which. though the simplest OF
stones, possesses rare power to
protect its wearer from harm and
is said to break at the approach
of grave danger. Friday is Adel-
aides lucky day and 6 her lucky
number.

Alice, however, was proceeding In

I wondered. vaguely. what her
husband would think of her-in this
state. She looked ready for the
footlights, instead of a decorous
country mansion dining table!
Alice dipped her little brush In
water, drew it afresh across the
blacking compound, and proceeded
to outline her eyebrows with
heavy hand. Sparks of beading flew
at tangent right across her fore
head.
There! Do look a vamp?" she
murmured. craning sideways to get
the desired effect in the looking
glass. She had blackened her eye
brows to a decided slant, giving q
Japanese result that she thought
very fascinating and Oriental
She discarded the ubiquitous
brush. and seized a stick of lip

His door was open. A big fire

Mr.. Man. how well acquainted are
you with your daughter?
Have you ever had a real con-
versation with her in your life?
I don't mean the times when you
have done the stern father act and
forbidden her to do something she
wanted to do. or scolded her for
something she did do.
Neither do mean the times when
she has sat on the arm of your
chair. and kissed the bald spot on
the top of your head. and wheedled
you out of a check. and you called
her a little CRATER. and thought
she was the sweetest thing in the
world, and gave her twice as much
as she asked for.
You have thought Of her as q
baby, as a toy, as q something to
be worked for. and kept safe. and
soft, and guarded and protected.
But did you ever think of your lit
tie daughter as a real human being.
with thoughts and ideas of her own,
and plans and ambitions. and de-
sires and hopes. and as facing prob
lens and dangers and temptations
even as you and I?
And did you ever try to meet her
on that plane. not Of father and
daughter, but Of two friends who
could sit down quietly together and
talk things over freely with one
another?
TIL warrant you never did. and
that of all the strange women IN
the world the strangest to you i:
your own little daughter.
You are not half so well acquaint-
ed with her as you are with youl
stenographer. or the girls in youl
office or store. You have a very
good idea of what they think, and
Of what they are likely to do under
any given set of circumstances. but
you haven't the remotest idea OF
what your own Mabel thinks ol
would do.
Believe me, in not knowing youl
own daughter you are missing ont
of the greatest treats that life ma
to offer you. You may think Mabe
rather silly because she is Away
giggling, or else glum and silent
with nothing to say. in your pres
Ience, That is because she Is EN-
barrassed and i'll at ease when sh,
is in company of a man who is suci

little fluffy head of hers is as wei
FURNISHED inside as it is outside. AM
that she's got all sorts Of interest
ing ideas.
And you'll be enchanted and en-
Itertained at her new point OF vieV
( and exhilarated by her high spirits
and you will find out that takini
your own daughter out to dinner i
a thousand times more fun than an,

Ing to say that the buns made a
very extra special loud noise when
the Pip suddenly cried:
"Oh, buns! Buns! 1 must have
buns! I'll eat them first and then
I'll get Uncle Wiggily's souse!"
Letting go of the bunny rabbit
gentleman, the bad Pipsisewah ran
down the aisle between the school
desks. He stopped at Billie's. pick
ed something up of the floor and
popped IL into his mouth and be-
gan to chew very hard.
And then, all of a sudden, the Pip
let out such howl as never was.
and cried:
Buns! Buns! You call these
buns? Oh. wow, I never ate such
hard buns in all my life! I've broken
every tooth in my head! Now ]
have togo to the dentists"
And away he ran, not getting any
of Uncle Wiggily's souse at all.
Such excitement as there was for a
moment! But finally Billie raised
his paw. -
.If you please. said the squirrel
boy, 'it wasn't my buns that drop
ped on the floor, after all. 1t was
two little iron cars from my toy
train. I had them in my pocket to
give to Sammie Littletail. My buns
are here, safe inemy other pocket"
"And did the Pip chew on the two
hard, iron toy ears?" asked Uncle
wiggily, laughing like.
Yes" answered Billie. He did"
well, no wonder he has to go to
the dentists" spoke the lady mouse
teacher. Then the exercises went
on as usual and all was well. And
IL the rubber doll doesn't fall on
the slippery sidewalk and bounce
over the fence into the dog house.
I'll tell you next about Uncle Wig
gily and Johnnie's jigger. y
