nnAurr AND ~rnACm DOWN.

nnAUTY AND ~PnACn DOWN.
The conscious beauty Of today
goes TO considerable pains to re-
move any pefceptibie trace OF
peach down" thst she regards as
a blemish to her beauty. forgetting,
perhaps. that the presence OF this
very thing 10 sometimes regarded as
to beauty, and again as
a sign OF an ardent nature.
One does not find such expressed
admiration among the Americans or
Enxlish--or at least not often. It
takes the more open-minded French
man to perceive It. For the French
man always is less q slave to his
rules of beauty and ever eager to
nnd charm In ire gularities as wei.
as fegularities of feature. Guy de
Mauspassant.Ievenss seems to suggest
that 80 exquisite q creature as the
veronese type Of woman could also
be endowed with this peach down
skin. OF one of his characters he
says: "She seemed q portrait BY
Paul veronese. with her fair. shin
ing tresses, which might have been
said to have colored her flesh. an
arfstocratic flesh. slightly tinted
with pink. shaded with q light
down. q sort OF pale velvet, just per-
ceptibie when the sun kissed it."
And again OF this same beauty he
tells US that she had a little beauty
spot upon her chin-"where there
were few tiny hairs SO like her
skin that they could hardly be dis
tinguished." Apparently to this
great admirer Of feminine. beauty
there was nothing of a blemish in
such characteristics.
Balxac not infreauently has ref
erence to the peach down on the
faces Of his fair characters. OF Tu-
ia In "A Prince OF Bohemia" he
says, II could see a faint down like
the bloom of fluit softening tho
silken contours of a cheeks itself
so delicate" And Of the beautiful
Foedora in The Wild Ass's Skin"
he admits that perhaps q rival
might have found a fault in the al
most invisible down that covered
her features. I I>found the signs of
passion everywhere written on
those italian eyeiids-in the darker
shade Of down above a somewhat
thick underlip."

What S in a Name?
ANNETTE.
BY Mildred Marshall.

France is responsible for the
dashinE little name Annette, which
conjures up visions Of a slim, chic
creature of flashing eyes and
saucy smile. The very sound of the
name seems to preclude any rela-
tionship with demure Anne, but
they have a common origin in the
Hebrew word meaning grace"
which the Irish have identified with
their native Aine Goy).
The name from which Annette
was evolved was first used in
France after a supposed appear
ance of the good st. Anne to two
children at Auray, in Brittany, and
first gained vogue as a feminine
name through the Bretonne heir
ess, twice Queen of France. Its
popularity in court circles insured
its widespread usage among all
classes in France.
Scotland adopted il in preference
10 the English Anne. calling it
Annot. 1t penetrated England
without change of form and. Curl
ously enough. in view of Anglo
Saxon distaste for Gallo names,
maintained it's original form.
Hence. in this country. it is be-
slowed without reference to its
foreign flavor, and Is almost never
used as a derivative or Anne.
The yellow jacinth is Annette's
talismanic gem. 1t will protect
her against lightning and insure
her safety in travelling. At the
approach of danger or disease IL is
said to pale in color. Saturday Is
her lucky day and 1 her lucky
number.

UNCLE WIGCMY AND
POOR JACK.

Once upon "a time. when Uncle
wiggily was hippity hopping
through the woods. looking for an
adventure, he heard sad little
voice saying:
"oh. dear! Oh. dear! oh. dear"
my goodness exclaimed Uncle
wiggily. folding down one ear over
his pink nose SO 1t wouldn't twinkle
so fast. "That sounds like trouble!
That's what / say when the Pip or
Skee Is chasing me to get my souse'
i had better be careful"
So Uncle wiggily looked around
the corner of the trolley car. and
there he saw-no one at all!
This is funny" whispered the
rabbit gentleman to himself. Il was
sure I heard a voice and. yet"
"Oh. Gear! Oh, dear! Oh. dear!'
cried the voice again. Il am so
lonesome and ! have no one 70
preach to-"
"Ha. There must be some one
here" went on the bunny. Hello.
he cried. who are you and what is
the NATTER
II am poor Jack" was the an
swer, "and the trouble is that !
ought to preach a sermon, but l
have no one to listen when I talk.
However. you are here now. SO
think I shall preach to you"
Jack! Poor Jackw went on Un-
Gle Wiggily reflective like. II don't
seem to remember any preacher OF
that name. And. really I can't see
you." spoke Mr.. Longears. looking
up. down and around the middle of
the woods.
II am right over here" the voice
said, and. looking toward an ola
stump. Uncle Wiggily saw a sort of
plant growing.
II am Jack in the Pulpit" went
on the voice. but am so sad and
lonesome that I call myself Poor
Jack. ! don't know how / came. TO

mails. But here am! Oh. dearr
Hum SUI dud." exclaimed the
bunny uncle. 1T is rather sad. But
wait a minute. You want a congre-
cation to preach to; is that the
idea?
Yes" answered Poor Jack and
his voice was like the wind signing
through the pine trees.
You wait here" went on Uncle
Wiggily. I'll get a lot of my ami
NAL friends to come here to these
beautiful woods. and you may
preach them a sermon"
Fine" cried Poor Jack. "I1l bt

that he could help some one. He

Uncle Wiggily.

THOUGHTS GROW
BYUSE OF WORDS

The use of language is not limited
to the mere communication Of ideas.
An equally important function is
that of the fundamentally Of
thought. 1t is not merely a vehicle.
but It's means Of expansion.-Hard-
ly any of our intellectual operations
could be carried on without the
agency OF words. Language is. then,
not only the offspring of thought
but its spouse as well. In every
process of reasoning words are an
essential element. BY their means
we fashion and embody our ideas.
A dictionary is therefore a neces-
sity more than ever before. II
should be at ones elbow. whether
at home. in the ONCE. school. shop
or study. For these reasons we
have taken great pleasure in plac-
ing a good dictionary. such as The
New Universities Dictionary. within
reach of everyone sof our readers.
Our coupon, published daily, gives

Jim was annoyed. But hnally made

Jim looked rather grim. He
Shrugged his shoulders.
Lonely and widowed won't ap-

'who will stop me?" boldly asked
tho bad old Pipsisewah!
'T willr bravely answered the
Jack. with that he reached down
in the hollow cuplike pulpit in
which he stood, and caught up some
water that had rained down the
night before. This water the Jack
threw in the face of the Pip.
"Oh, WOW! oh, made a mistake! |!
I don't need q bath! This Is no
place for mel" howled the Pip, as
away he ran, and he didn't get Un-

Helene Married Life 'ssss ~: &c.: sssss7's

After q few moments she returned
TO Jim and me In the library with .
pale. excited face.
II can't think what II means" she
said. Mr.. Lloyd has returned to
Thorny Grange. and he's brought
Tony with himi was speaking to
them both upon tho teiephone!"
Neither Jim nor I found Alice's
news as thrilling as that lady did
herself.
Tony and his criminal tendencies
were not the most fascinating topic
in the world.
Not that Alice spoke at any length
Of Tony. mol But her whole mien
was one of suppressed excitement.
"I don't think it's so very ex-
traordinary that Mr.. Lloyd should
bring Tony down here" I volun-
teered. He's probably making him
return the document that he stole
from the safe in Thorny Grange"
Alice looked abashed. In some
curious way / don't believe she con-
siders Tony's thefts are thefts at all.
in the generally accepted meaning
of term. Feminine reasoning can
be most peculiar. And-when Alice
thinks of Tony-her logic seems TO
get little twisted. What would
be crimes in other people. are mere
ly small peccadilloes IL Tony Is in
volved therein.
She sat apart from US that night.
staring into the fire, her small white
fingers knitting industriously, and
her blue eyes with far-off look in
them.
Occasionally big tears would well
up and trickfe down the side of
Alice's dainty little nose. She would
brush those tears away with a quick
movement, and the dreamy look
would be there again.
wondered IL she was mourning
for her busband? Poor. kindly, in

Or-were her thoughts directed
