One Doesn't Need to Know Its Exact
Meaning to Recognize Its Uncom-

cock Says.

A clever young woman this summer
who obtained her masters degree at
a New York university, pointed to a
headline in the newspaper and said:
"There is a word I never saw before
The line she indicated was "Too deep

Uncertainty at the moment as to
whether the dictionary would aid in
establishing proof of her inexcusable
ignorance, caused me to express only
moderate surprise.
"Sculduggery" hasn't nice sound.

ing to recognize its uncomplimentary
character, N. P. Babcock writes in the
Columbus Dispatch.

almost be said to have attained the
dignity of classic slang, having per

But the ex-soldier man insists that
the young snob woman is all that she
made herself to him when they were
married, with all her snobbish beha-
vior, and he succeeds in just what he
boldly tells her he will do. He
makes her see through the error of
that snobbishness into the light that
shows her that the son of shoe man

facetiously to his father, can be an

Origin of Wedding Rings.
The origin of the wedding ring is
not really known. Betrothal rings
have been in existence for thousands
of years. The giving of ring to
mark betrothal was an old Roman
custom. It was really a pledge that
the contract would be fulfilled. The
first rings were of iron, but during
the second century, in Pliny's time,
the gold ring came into being. This
use of the ring was of purely secular
origin, but the ring received the
ecclesiastical sanction, and formulate
Of the benediction Of the ring can be
obtained as far back as the eleventh
century. The exact stages in which
the wedding ring developed from the
betrothal ring cannot be traced.
In the old English marriage ritual
the brides ring used to be put onto
several fingers of her left hand in
succession by the bridegroom: first
on the thumb, with the words, "In
the name of the Father, then on the
second finger, land in the name Of
the Holy Ghost" then on the third
finger. amen" Now it is put

Desians Are Varied.

Forget-me-not, used as designs on
engravings, is popular because of the
pretty significance always attached
to it, and is popular for wedding
rings. The four-leaf clover is one OF
the happiest inspirations for the
marriage ring. In ancient times the
people were in the habit of placing
a spray of these leaves on the
threshold of the newly married bride.
A very distinctive design being
used on rings today is the Lorraine,
named after one Of the most cher
ished portions of France. It is espe-
cially appropriate for these times ana
particularly suited for military wed
dings.
Regardless of the kind of ring,
whether it was a wide, flat band OIL
twenty years ago or narrow en-
graved green gold of today, they are
all inscribed on the inside. The In
scriptions today are less elaborate
than they were formerly, when many
bits of sentiment were expressed, one
of the most often used being Ill

others more sentimental, but con

THIS LIGHT FOOTED
 MAID WORTH HAVING

Spending your days cleaning up dirt that you know comes back to- morrow is a task that could not appeal to any right minded woman. Old fashioned methods of cleaning merely stir up the dirt and let it settle in an- other place. to be displaced again by the dust rag.
 Consider the modern electric cleaner. that Eght-footed maid that is satis- fled to live in any home that is wired. and 1t is not against the law to enslave one of these mechanical maids for five years by paying a certain price and 1 to cents for every hour she works. For $S or S10 more she brings a dozen special tools with which to do special cleaning of dark corners, high mould ings, the radiators and draperieS.
 She lives on dust, absorbs it with ayidity and does not spread it abroad. She trips about lightly on rubbe~'-shod feet requires less urging than most maids, picks up lint threads, cleans up the crumbs in the dining room, and leaves the nap on the carpet with nice discrimination. She rarely tins the scale at more than 30 pounds and is easily moved about from room to room. The housewife who overlooks this nght-footed maid Is overlooking one of the best helpers in the household

At d recent gathering, Donald Mo Donald, vice president and general manager, Louisville Gas and Electric company, Louisville, Ky, made some very interesting comparisons between central station service and human eff fort. In part, he said as follows:
 'The most interesting topic that l know of for discussion by intelligent people is undoubtedly the servant question. I am going to>tell you about a servant that I know.
 She does all the cooking, washing. ironing and cleaning for a family of five. She brings in the fuel splits the kindling, lights the fire, cleans and tends to the lamps, and when she is not busy otherwise, she turns the ma chine on which the breadwinner of the family makes his living. She never complains about the amount of her work: on the contrary. she is constant ly saying that she would like to have more to do. She does not carry a bas- ket home at night. Her wages are $1 a week, and she is perfectly contented with them. She works for the Aver age family. who live on Every street. in Louisville.
 Seriously, my friends have made a careful calculation and I find that it would require 250,0 able and will ing slaves to do the work in this city which is done by this company. In or der to be as economical as the present service, these slaves would have to work without wages. to wear no clothes and to satisfy their appetites with s1 worth of food each week.
 Of course, servants should always display humility, they should never grumble about the amount of work they have to do; but when the serv- ant is willing and anxious to do more work, no one should grudge her the privilege of bragging about the amount of work that she is already doing
