Abyssinian Funeral Custom.

An AbySSinian funeral is a very
singular affair. When a newborn in
FAINT dies it Is almost Immediately
buried under the floor. After the de-
mise of an adult, the body is washed
in water sweetened with honey,
wrapped in shroud, sewed up in a
mat of braided straw, and laid upon
a litter made of boughs cut from
trees.
The lamentations of the relatives
resound among the cliffs. and the
news is rapidly communicated to all
the people of the neighborhood, who
at once set out to condole with the
mourners.
As soon as they catch sight of the
funeral procession they begin to weep
and cry aloud. When they join it, the
men range themselves on one side Of
the bier, the women on the other, and
chant. When the religious ceremony
is over, the corpse is buried in the
churchyard.

When Mr.. Williams had at last eaten
the egg, the two went back into the
sick room and took up the watch. The
patient was sleeping quietly. The doc
tor rose and softly tiptoed out of the
room, reckoning to Pauline.
"She's resting more normally than
she has in a week-I wouldn't be sur
prised If she rallied and lasted quite a
while yet, though, Of course, she'll
never be well.'
"Is it possible!" said the girl, her
voice trembling.
When at last the night was over
and the two took their leave in the
gray of the morning Doctor Wheeling
felt justified in giving the devoted old
man crumb Of encouragement as he
gripped his hand.

country?" Wheeling asked the girl a
minute later as he turned and stepped
into the car.
"Please do" she begged.

responsive during the whole of the
trip.

"Yes," she replied as she wept out
her pent-up feelings on the Doctors

DERIVATION OF CURRENT COIN
Word money" Easily Traced to An
Client Rome-DoIIar Of America
Undoubtedly Of German Origin.

The word money was derived from
Moneta. one Of the surnames Of Juno;
In whose temple the Romans first made
coins. The word mint Is supposed to
be contraction of the word Moneta
through the Anglo-Sagon "mynet."
When we read that sterling has fall
en- in exchange value, who knows the
the inhabitants Of the Hansa towns
known as Esterlings, who were invited
by King John of England to come to
England and reform the currency,
which had become very corrupt. From
that date good English money was
known as sterling.
The shilling is from the Anglo-Saxon
selling, meaning twentieth, so 1t
takes twenty shillings to make pound.
The English farthing meant the
fourth of a penny and was actually
broken from a penny in olden days,
when the pennies were indented with
a full cross so heavily that they could
be snapped into four. This was So
luton Of making change, as the print
tiveS understood 1t.
The franc Is only another way Of
spelling the silver coin of the Franks
and has no indication of value. Our
own dollar has a German origin, hav-
ing been the thaler, or more fully
Joachim's thaler the silver coin struck
out of the silver found in the thai or
valley of st. Joachim, France. This
was extremely pure and being coined
into ounces gave the real basis of the
silver dollar, which weighs an ounce.
Few stop to consider what cent Is.
1t meant a hundredth, the French word
for hundred, and is the appropriate
name for the coin, which is one-hun-
dredth of dollar. The quarter is easy
for it is one-fourth of the dollar. The
nickel is so called because of the metal
from which it is made, and the dime
is tenth, from the old French disme,
traced to the Latin decem, ten.-Louis-
Vile Courier-Journal.

Seeing Within
BY CORONA REMINGTON

t0. 1920. by Mcclure Newspaper syndicate)
Pauline cambridge looked up from
the magazine she was reading into the
eyes of Doctor Wheeling.
II just walked in," said the young
man, smiling.
II see you did" replied the girl as
she rose and extended her hand which
he held moment as though in medi-
tation. Pauline tried to cover her en-
barrassment with fippancy.
Jack, don't be so-touching," she
smiled.
Cant help It," he answered, "but
l didn't come here this time to pro-
pose. have something else serious on
hand"
what is it?" asked the girl, her
manner changing at once.
II have pitiful case down on Oak
street-a dear, little, old lady, who's
pretty bad off and / can't get nurse
for her anywhere. Her husband does
his best but he's so awkward and
clumsy that he's worse than nothing.
Couldn't you come and help us through
the night? l know it's whole lot to
ask, but, somehow, always think of
turning to you first when Pm in trou-
ble."
"Why, I'd love to go If mother'n let
me-" Pauline declared.
Good! 1 knew you'd do it." he said
warmly. Leave your mother to me
I'll manage her-only wish you were
as easily managed" he ended rather
bitterly.
Jack, please don't let's talk about
that any more. / can't help it; mar
rage simply doesn't appeal to me
that's ALL"
A few minutes later the two were
in the doctors little red car headed
for the patients home on Oak street.
'"Tell me all about It," asked Pau
line, land what am to do"
"She's just a sweet. patient, little old
lady who hasn't long to live"
"Dying!" said Pauline blankly, her
face turning white.
I'm afraid so. I was hoping she'd
last little longer, but she's been sink
ing all day though still conscious"
When they reached the house and
cautiously approached the patients
room tears rushed into Pauline's eyes
Palisadian. [volume] (Cliffside Park, N.J.) 1906-current, 1920-07-03

as she saw the bent and worn-out
thetic despair on his knees by the bed
side.
Martha" he sobbed, "if there were
only some way l could tell you what
it's meant to me to have you all these
years. You've been my life, my very
life; my companion through thick and
thin, through good luck and bad-al-
ways my cheering companion and help
mate"
The tired, withered, little hand of
the woman feebly attempted to stroke
the white head beside her.
"And you," she said weakly. you've
been my wonderful lover and husband
through all these years. Our bodies
may be nearly WORKOUT, but nothing
else has changed"
They both remained silent and the
doctor and the girl slipped into the
room.
"Ah, that's good of you to come
back" said the old man, rising.
"And brought a real helper, ver-
liable angel of mercy with me-" smiled
the doctor as he introduced Pauline,
who went over and impulsively kissed
the old man.
I'm just going to call you Papa
Williams" she said as she moved to-
ward the bed and started smoothing
things out.
Doesn't that feel better?" she asked
as Mrs. Williams smiled wanly up at
her.
Yes" she answered gratefully, "but
my husband-my husband must be
made to eat something"
Pauline hurried into the kitchen and
prepared two poached eggs on toast,
then coaxed the old man to come in
with her and eat while the doctor
watched over the patient.
"Now, Papa Williams. you'll just
have to eat something, because I'm
hungry and can't eat without you"
she begged.
Child, you don't know what 1t is,
what wonderful thing 1t is-this love

~ CONSIDERATION or evening
~ gowns leads us into that realm
of apparel where beauty is the para
mount and almost the sole consdera-
ton. All that the looms have to Of
fer in rich and exquisite products goes
into their fashioning and inspires their
creators. Satin and ribbons are trans.
lated into such clothes, in the two
gowns pictured, as must certainly win
an approving smile from the goddess
Of spinners and weaverS.
Designers have adopted a trick of
adding that ''splendor dear to women"
to the average evening gown by in
PRODUCING rich and remarkable ribbons
into their composition. Beautiful sat
in and airy tulle are the same in one
or another lovely dress, but a flavor
of magnificence pervades a gown when
distinctive and royal ribbon be-
comes part of it. This is emphasized
in the sleeveless, low-cut model pic
tured. 1t has slip of plain satin,
bodice of sequins and plated overdress
of tulle with medallions in two sizes.
A glorious ribbon, in metallic brocade,
begins as ,irdle, becomes drapery
at the right side, a cascade at the
left and ends in train, trailing from
bow and ends of tulle.

gest cool. leafy shadows cast by the
trees. One Of these is shown in the
picture with handle in black and white
enamel, and this model proves very
practical. Black and white handles,
furnished with large rings to slip over
the wrist when the parasol is furled,
have proved very popular. Hanging
the parasol in this way is about the
easiest and safest way Of caring for it
when it is off duty as protector from
the sun. There are a number Of
bracelet ideas in handles, including
those of narrow black ribbon with gold
or silver slides that carry engraved
monograms.
A wide-brimmed hat Of faille silk
overlaid with lace and having frill
of lace about the brim-edge, makes
soft shadow over the face that Is
deepened and widened by parasol to
match. AS shown in the picture, the
set is developed in black silk and white
lace, but the color that underlies the
lace is a matter for individual choice.
Wide white lace with a border pro-
vides a means of covering a parasol
and hat like this with very little
trouble; any seamstress can accom-
plish the work.
The country club" set shown in the
third picture includes a scarf with
the hat and parasol so that there are
three pieces in it. Pink indestructible
crepe is used for this set, and the
braid and embroidery decorations are
in the same color.

II IME out of mind gay and dainty
i parasols have Haunted their
bright colors in the midsummer's sun
shine and cast their soft or glowing
shadows over fair faces. But during
the war they did not flourish. Being
among the luxuries that could be dis
pensed with and for other reasons,
they were not so much used. This
season, however, finds them revived,
and with midsummer just around the
corner, they have come out in consid-
cradle force and in distinct styles.
Many Of them appear to take their
cue from midsummer millinery, show
ing q repetition of the fabrics and col
ors used In hats, and there are para
soils for dress, street and country wear
that correspond to dress, tailored and
sports hats. The simpler designs out
number the more elaborate ones.
For wear with almost any frock the
green parasol with bands Of black. or
cross bars of black, and all white or
white and black designs have the fac
ulty Of making pleasing ensemble.
But if one Is not confined to single
choice, the made-to-match parasOl, of
the same materials as the hat worn
with 1t, Is smarter than any other.
For the street there are navy blue and
white combinations in which white or
candle figures as border and in folds
on blue silk, these worn with hats of
the same combination, match a sea
breeze in GOODNESS, and those green
silk parasols, with bands of black. sug-,,
