What S in a Name?
By Mildred Marshall.
PAULA.

Paula is the product of ancient
Rome. Though in common usage by
the Northern countries, there is
warm Latin blood in the name.
1t originated with one of Aemilian
gems who was small in stature, re-
sultiRE in the cognomen paulus
which is the Latin word for small.
Paula first gained honors as the
feminine of the good st. Paul, and
also as the name of the friend and
correspondent of st. Jerome, the
mother of Eustochim. Thus Paula,
Paola and Paolina, the diminutive
became favorite forms in Italy.
The name was taken into France
and straightway given the stamp of
the French language, emerging as
Pauline and Paulette. The sister of
Napoleon was commonly called Pau
lette in her own family, but Pauline
was most popular for the sake of
the favorite grandchild of Nine. de
SeViGne: in fact, she is almost the
only one whose Christian name is
mentioned in Nine. de SeVigne's let
ters. Paola and Paolina will never
lose their vogue in the Southern
countries of Europe, but the Eng
lish language finds Paula or Pau
line best adapted to it's usage. Pau
lette is confined strictly TO France
The moon-stone is Paula's tails
manic gem. 1t will bring her good
fortune, especially If il is bestowed
upon her by lover. One old super
stition has il that she will be en-
abled to read the future in the
depths of the stone. Monday Is her
lucky day and 4 her lucky number.

see whether that lady would ap-
prove.
Fannie wardwell was a sphinx.
Most people said she was a perfect
negative type. but like most quiet
women. she got the benefit OF
charitable doubt and in some quar-
ters her lack of animation passed
for inscrutability. While never
seeming actually bored, she had
never been known to exhibit inter-
est in anything. Alison, instinc-
lively sensing a depth of sympathy
and breadth of outlook, had always
liked her best of the sisters.
On this occasion, Fannie was
quieter than usual. but her eyes
followed Alison's every movement
with a kind of wfstful intentness.
1t was not the wistfulness that is
tinged with envy. but rather the
pity of one who would save youth
from the pitfalls which experience
has charted.
i've Just been telling Lawrence
that he's a fool for luck" remarked
Myra, as Alison handed her a re-
filled tea-cup.
The girl flushed with pleasure.
How nice of you" she replied
gratefully, II was almost afraid
you wouldn't like me as a member
of the family"
Like you? My dear, we'll adore
you" having made up her mind
suddenly to this decision. Myra
spoke for her sisters with cool as
surance, You'll be quite spoiled by
four lonely women. who have al
ready spoiled your husband"
Jane gave a little protesting cry.
Husband" she echoed. How
queer that sounds! l can't get used
to the idea of the dear boys being
married"
Her voice quavered on the last
word and she began to search
hastily for handkerchief in her
elaborate little handbag.
Mrs. Osborne sent her a warning
glance.
1--WE are eager for your home
coming" she told the dismayed
bride evenly, TT will be very pleas
ant to have two young people in
our quiet house"

For the worker-the busy man or
woman who must get out OF the
rut-there is nothing that will get
you so far as to put yourself in the
hands of good physical instructor.
This does not mean a course in a
gymnasium of setting up exercises,
work on the horses and rings or
any routine gym work, because,
today, except for corrective exer-
Cises for definite deformities, our
leading physical instructors do not
advocate that type of physical edu-
cation.
Lucy Retting, well-known physi-
cal educator, says: Muscular re-
Taxation is aided by stretching the
muscles through gymnastics, and
vitality in general is aided through
stimulation of the circulatory, res
plratory and digestive systems. But
all these physical results also fol-

formity and disease"
IL is really through the psycholop-
ical and social factors that the
physical value best comes. Pois,
and vitality follow self-respect.
Wholesome pride, initiative and i'm
agination. These are the traits
which we need to cultivate in our

! while / make a hat for Arabella
/ Cora Janet Salisbury Hummingbird.
| That's my dolls name"
It's quite a name" spoke Uncle
/ Wiggily, laughing. and then he sat
down and began throwing stones
| in the water.
! Oh, ] forgot to tell you there was
nice brook close to the place where
the hat grass grew - a nice wide.
} sparkling, babbling brook. Uncle
/ WiGgily threw stones in that, and
watched them splash.
{ Susie sat down and began to pail
/ the grass stems and to braid them.
as you braid your hair, and then,
when she had enough, she began to
sew them together in q hat
Uncle WiGgily was not paying
much attention to Susie. and he was
sore of doing on. sleepy like. when.
all of sudden, a harsh voice crIeu
! 'Hello. You there behind the
rock! l know you're there, I'm
coming to get your souse"
With that Uncle WiggiIy awak-
fened quickly enough, and Susie
dropped her needle and thread. The
bunny gentleman peeked up over the
rock. and saw-the bad old Pipsise-
wah.
Yes, here / am" gargled the un-
pleasant creature. And I'm COM
ing. in just a minute, to get your
souse!'
oh, dear me-" sighed Uncle Wig
gily. How can I stop him."
Only for the brook We could run
away" whispered Susie. But we
can't swim across that"
70
can't. If we only had a boat"
"Oh. i know how to make one!"
suddenly said Susie. Instead of
making a dolls hat, I'll make a
boat. I'll braid some dried grass
into long strands. Then III sew
them together in the shape of a
boat. A straw hat floats on the
water like a boat. and il will not
leak much until we get across
You talk to the Pip, and keep him
from coming behind this rock un-
til l sew a straw boat"
So Uncle Wiggily said:
Mr.. Pip, will you just wait Ave
minutes before you come to get my
souse? Just wait Ave minutes"
We'll. l don't generally wait as
long as. that" growled the Pip.
But seeing that you're one of my
regular customers / will. But only
FIVE"
That will be long enough" whis-
pered Susie. Come on, Uncle
Wiggily. you help me braid the dry
grass. The Pip can't see us behind
the rock"
So Uncle Wiggily braided the
grass stems. and soon Susie had
sewed the strands together into
hoat large enough to hold herself.
Uncle Wiggily and the doll. Hidden
behind the rock, Susie and the
bunny gentleman put the grass boat
into the brook. got in themselves,
W ith Susie's doll. and started to pad
die across with sticks for oars.
Five minutes gone! I'm COM
ing" cried the Pip. looking at his
wrist watch. But as he rushed up
behind the stone Uncle Wiggily and
Susie reached the other side of the
brook and so they were safe.
Fooled again, and by Susie's
boat" gruntcd the bad chap. who
was TOO afraid of water to swim
across. But IH- get your souse
yet.
And if the electric light doesn't
take the candle down cellar and
lose it in the coal bin. I'll tell you
next about Uncle Wiggily and Mr..

Excellent Advice

of women so long in terms OF do
mesticity that we are lost when we
try to conceive of them in any other
aspect. Our minds are-ln chaos
when We attempt to come out OF the
kitchen and nursery and visualize a
multitude of women who are not
cooking husbands dinner, and darn
ing little stockings, and wiping lit
tie noses.
OF course the difficulty in the way
OF the superfiuous woman's accept
ing her husbandless fate philosoph-
ically and making the best of it..
Is that she will have to first get
over the false teaching she learned
at Ter mothers knee. The curse of
women is that their emotions have
been developed at the expense of
their reason, and that they have
thought it credit to them to have
more heart than head.
The result is that women put an
undue value on sentiment. They
must revise their estimate of love
and marriage as factors in happi-
ness, and take the same rational
view of them that men do-a thing
to enter into joyfully il it comes
their way, and do without cheer
fully If Cupid fails to knock at their
door.
But one thing the superfuous
woman problem should impress on
the minds of parents and that is the
necessity of providing their daugh-
tcrs with some definite way of max
ing a living. not only for the sake
of the money but to give the girls
some interesting occupation in life,
something to think about and do,
for Satan finds even more work for
idle women's hands to do than il
does for idle mems.
Not for generations can a father
count securely in handing. over his
daughter to some other man to sup
port. No girl is sure of getting
married these days. It's a long shot
with the odds against them in the
Misunderstanding game, for there
simply aren't enough men to go
around
But the girl needn't mind II she
is self-sustaining. She can do for
nerself as well as the average hus-
band can do for her, and she has the
consolinG thought that good job
is better than A bad husband. and
that. anyway, the working woman
is never the superfluous woman.
The world needs her.

UNCLE WIGGILY AND SUSIE'S BOAT.

Uncle Wiggily, will you please
come and take walk with me?"
asked Susie Littletan. the bunny
rabbit girl, one morning as she
hoped over to the hollow stump
bungalow OF Mr.. Longesrs, and
tapped at the door.
Take a walk. Why. yes, l guess
So" and Uncle Wiggily twinkled his
pink nose in such a funny way that
Susie had to laugh. and she dropped
her doll.
"Upsiedaisy"' cried Uncle Wiggily,
as he picked up the doll. You'll
have to walk with her to DR.. Pos
sums to get some new sawdust put
in her. If you drop your doll again"
said the bunny gentleman. But
where were you thinking of going,
Susie?"
''Oh. l want to walk where / can
find some long stems of dried grass.
/ am going to make a new hat for
my doll" said the little rabbit girl
How are you going to make a
hat for your doll of long stems of
dried grass asked Mr.. LOngears.
Il should think nice. fresh, juicy,
green grass, such as. the cows eat,
would be best for dolls, also"
"Oh. no, you don't understand"
laughed Susie. you see. / take the
long stems of dried grass. and braid
them into pieces like those of which
straw hats are made. Then / sew
the long. braided pieces of grass
together and make a hat for my
dollie. So, will you please come
for a walk with me until we find
some dried grass"
Yes" answered Uncle Wiggily.
II will"
''Oh. I'm so glad" laughed Susie.
cause maybe ! might see the Pip
sisewah or the Skeezicks. and /
would not be afraid il you were
with me-"
oh. well. guess maybe We
won't see them" said Uncle Wig
gily, hopeful like. But, all the
same, he looked over his shoulder
sort of nervously. and only twin
killed. half his pink nose as he
walked off through the woods ano
over the fields with Susie.
Pretty soon they came to where
