IS THIS YOUR TYPE?
THE INDoLENT TYPE.

There is a subtle distinction be-

may be that the same characteristic
that in a high-born lady Of beauty

II is no wonder that this indoI-

UNCLE wIGGILY AND

Once upon q time, mot so very
many years ago. Uncle wiggily
Lopgears, the nice bunny rabbit
gentleman, went out walking in the
woods near his hollow stump bun
galow.
do you think you will have an
adventure2' asked Nurse Jane
Fuzzy wuzzy. his muskrat lady
housekeeper.

gentleman. II am going down to
see how Toodle. and Noodle Flat

Grandfather Goosey Gander's house.
which they are making over on ac-
count of the fire." -.~+.
We'll. be careful not to get
burned" spoke Nurse Jane.
"oh. the FIRE was out long ago"
explained Uncle Wiggily. 'Jacko
put 1t out with milk from his cocoa
nut"
over the fields and through the
woods went Uncle wiggily, and
when he reached Grandpa Goosey's s
house, which was partly burned, he
only saw hear It Toodle. the one
beaver boy.
Where are the othersT's asked
Uncle Wiggily. -.
Noodle went to get some wooden
nails" explained, TOodle, and
Grandpa Whackum has gone to get

oh, he's gone to get Uncle But

And while the bunny gentleman
and the beaver boy were sitting on
the bank. near the duck pond, wait

the wooden nails. along came Billie
Wagtail, the goat boy, all out ~

Il came to get Granda Goosey's

love. and am powerless to help?
Why sadden me with the worries
and troubles OF others, when it does
no good?
1T takes the heart and courage
out of me. 1t lessons my efficiency
because I'm grieving over Susan
when l should be concentrated on
my work. 1t depresses my vitality,
and makes me nervous and jumpy.
1t breaks down my morale and
makes me feel like turning coward
and gutter.
Surely II mother and the other
people who indulge their morbid
love of horrors by writing gloomy
letters, realized how far-reaching
and disastrous was the effect of
their walls on the recipients, they
would refrain from ever burdening
the mails with another cerulean
mission.
For my part I think that the
writing of discouraging letters
should be recognized as a crime
punishable by law. Ii people cant
write bright and CHEEKY letters We
should be able to get out an injunc-
tion prohibiting them from writing
at all"
There are two explanations of the
melancholy letter. The first is sell
fishness. The writer wants to en-.
JOY her troubles by telling them to
someone else and she does so by
fist. regardless of how they may af-
fect another. 1t is not easy to get
some one to listen to the recital of
your grievances, but when you
write them you are sure you have
gotten the sad, sad story OF your
wrorgs over to one person. at least.
He or she cannot help but hear
them.
The second reason for the gloomy
, letter is that women think it is ro-
mantle and poetic to be miserable.
, Therefore they let themselves 60
when they sit down to write. Their
correspondent isn't there to see, so
they post as martyrs. and exag-
Gerate every scratch on their hearts
into a compound fracture that is
bound TO be fatal. They blot their
letters with their tears because il
looks high alutin' to do so. forget
ting that the person at the other
end of the line won't know they
were property tears.
They do not realize how much
more final an impression the WIT
ten word is than the spoken word.
When Betty comes to tell her that
her marriage is a failure because
her husband doesn't understand her.
1nd that he is a brute who has re-
duced her world to cinders, ashes
and dust, we do not suffer unduly
with her as we observe that she is
tucking away three cups of tea and
innumerable olive sandwiches, and
that she Is arrayed like Solomon in
all his glory. and looking uncom-
monty we'll and At.
But when I'VE get a letter from
Betty detailing her domestic woes,
and representing herself as a melan-
choly wreck We are simply dissolved
with pity for the poor darling and
we go through agonies of sympathy
And just because there is this
power in scrap of paper we should
be careful how we use ii. 1t should
always be with US a bit of white
magic that carries good luck to the
one to whom we send 1t. 1t should,
be hlled with cheer. and courage,
and love and laughter. never with
bad news and raven croakinS,

ed green garden and left whistling
. in an off key an untuneful air
from a roofless farce comedy.
The next afternoon Ravenel,
while polishing a ragged line of a
new sonnet, reclined by the win
dow overlooking the besieged
Suddenly he sat up. spilling two
rhymes and a syllable or two.
Through the trees one window
of the old mansion could be seen
clearly In it's window. draped in
flowing white, leaned the angel of
all his dreams of romance and
poesy. Young, fresh as a drop of
dew, graceful as a spray of ele-
ments. comforting upon the garden
hemmed in by the roaring traffic
the air Of a prinCess's bower beau
tiful as any flower sung by poet
thus RaveneI saw her for the first
time. She fingered for a while,
and then disappeared within. leav-
ing a few notes of a bird-like rip
pie of song TO reach his entranced
ears through the rattle of cabs
and the snarling of the electric
cars.
Thus. as if to challenge the
poets flaunt at romance and to
punish him for the recreancy to
the undying spirit of youth and
and beauty. this vision had
dawned upon him with a thrilling
and accusive power. And so
metabOlic was the power that in
an instant the atoms of RaveneTs
entire world were redistributed.
The laden drays that passed the
house in which she lived rumbled
a deep doUble-bas to the tune of
love. The newsboys' shouts were
the notes of singing birds: that
garden was the pleasance of the
Capulets; the janitor was an ogre;
himself knight. ready with
sword. lance or lutte.
Thus does romance show her
self amid forests of brick and
stone when she gets lost in the
city. and there has to be sent out
a general alarm to find her again
At in the afternoon Ravenel
looked out across the garden. In
the window of his hopes were set
four small vases. each containing
a great, full-b!own rose-red and
white. And. as he Gazed. she
leaned above them. shaming them
with her loveliness and seeming

as though she had caught his re-

melted away. leaving the fragrant

She had read his poem. The Four
Roses" 1t had reached her heart;

or course she must know
that Ravenel. the poet. lived
there across her garden. His pic

the magazines. The delicate. ten

could not be ignored.
Ravenel noticed beside the roses
a small f1owering-pot containing a
plant. Without shame he brought
his opera glasses and employed
them from the cover of his win
dow-curtain. A nutmeg geranium!

What S in a Name?
BY Mildred Marshall
ELIZABETH.

Elizabeth is a holy name and has
a devious origin: il likewise has as
many derivatives. contractions and
diminutives as Mary.
Going back to early Bible times
we find that the wife of Aaron pos
sessed a name popular at that time.
in that IL contained a dedication to
the Deity. This name was Elische-
ba, meaning God hath sworn. In
the Latin this was called Elizabeth.
the mother of John the Baptist
bore this name and her first histor-
ical namesake was the Muscovite
Princess Elsivetta, the daughter of
Jarosalv and the object of the ro-
mantle love of the famous poet,
Harald Hardarda, of Norway.
Through her the name became popu-
lar in Denmark. whence 1t crept
into Germany. q.
One of the first EIizabeths In
France was Elizabeth of HainauIt.
who married Philippe Auguste and

as she is called there, gained sanity
honors which brought her name
great prominence in Germany.

that name, supposed to be the oD-

Elizabeth's talismanic gem is the
