REMINIsCENCE.

Alison rang up her mother-in-law
and extended the invitation for an
evshrns call with inward misgiv-
ing. She had kent to her resolve
never again to visit the Osborne's
unless Lawrence accompanied her,
So she had not seen any of them
slhCe the memorable afternoon
when her mother-in-law and Jane
I ad come upon her entering a mo-
tor car in front of the Blackmore
with her father.
She had deliberately avoided them
lest they should mention the Incl
dent and Alison agreed with her
mother that her fathers presence
in the city should not be divulged
until it was absolutely necessary.
He may go tearing off on some
high adventure as he has done So
Cften in the past and all our ex-
gossip would be in vain. Let's do
a bit OF wItchful waiting and let
Barbara deal with him"
Alison had agreed, almost pitying
her father with Barbara Wales
loosed upon him. That redoubtable
lady had means at her command
Tor making life miserable for those
who gained her displeasure.
To AIsOn's surprise, her mother
in-law received the invitation to
view the new home with every evil
depce of pleasure and no suggestion
Of resentment But she spoiled her
acceptance with the csreleSsly
thrown in remark:
lane and have been so anxious
to see Laurie's home"
At her end OF the wire, Alison
flushed hotly.
Laurie's homo indeed, As If it
wasn't as much hers as her hus-
bands. Hadn't she slaved for sew
ersl weeks getting it into shape,
declining several luncheon invita-
tions from Gwen and Kate Gibson
and refusing a surreptitous motor
ride with Warren Bradley?
But she managed to say sweetly:
How nice of you to take such an
interest in our little nest! See you
at s then. Good-by."
She put the telephone back under
its Dresden shepherdess camouflage
and remaining at her desk, resting
her chin on her bridged hands,
gazed out Of the window at the
brilliant foliage of the naples in
the avenue below. The sun shone
from a sky of deepest sapphire
where tiny white puffs OF cloud
drifted aimlessly. The flaming
crimson, golden and russell of the
naples was repeated in each trim
garden along the avenue where
asters and late roses lifted their
heads to the warm sun.
Alison felt unaccountably sad.
She seemed suddenly to feel the
weight of the marriage yoke.

been free, free to plan her, days

She turned to the desk calendar

Billie. Soon he and Uncle Wiggily
were on their way to the bear den

and over:

I'm going to have new teeth"
They were almost at the cave Of
Mr.. Whitewash when, all of a sud
den, Billie saw a pile of hickory
nuts that had fallen rather early
that year.
"I'll put some of these nuts in
my pocket" said the squirrel boy.

show you how we'll l can crack

Very WELL" said Uncle Wiggily,

They went on a little farther. the

was a loud cry and a voice shoutec:

Eta is product of the sixteenth
century when its more dignifed
predecessor Henrietta appeared in
France in the House of stuart
d'AubigRe, 1t means home ruler
and has an elaborate and involved
history which takes it through the
royal house of France, England and
Germany.
Eta itself, however, is purely
English 1t was evolved in that
country after Henrietta had become
q reigning favorite, made popular
by Henrietta Marie, daughter of
Henri Nv, who had brought it with
her from France. 1t had previously
named many beauties of the court
of Catherine de Medici. Italy mean
while had evolved an Enrichetta
from which Eta was an easy stem
as a dfminutive..
Henrietta possessed too foreign a
flavor to suit American taste and
Eta f1ourished in this country
while the proper form languished in
disuse. Curiously, it is regarded as
a distinctly separate name from its
forbear, and is given in baptism
without reference to the naughty
Henrietta.
The amethyst is. Ettss talismanic
gem. 1t is Believed to guard her
from disease and to bring her an
even temper and a pleasing disposi-
