WHAT'S IN A NAME?
IGNORE

Made famous in this country by Poe,
Is in reality the Spanish TRANSFORMED
tion of one of the most ancient of
feminine nsmes-Helen. Its origi-
nal root was "Helice." the Greek
sun-god who drove his heavenly
chariot around the heavenly vault
day by. day. the name signifying
light and brightness.
Every language, practically, has
brought its distinguishing mark to
the original name, and Lenore is one
Of the most beautiful and musical of
the derivatives. In Italy Leonora is
one Of the forms, Eleanor in England,
Eileen in Ireland and so on.
The original Spanish derivative was
Lemore. in which the IN" gradually
displaced the m"
The jewel assigned to bearers of this
name is the beautiful yellow jacinth
"A stone formerly carried by trav-
elers to insure them against accident
and disease. A fantasy associated
with this gem is that 1t warns its
wearef of approaching danger by
growing pale in color, and it also
Is supposed to guarantee protection
from bolts of lightning. The lucky
day Of Lenore Is Sunday and six is
her lucky number. To dream OF her
natal stone. the yellow jacinth, is in
terpreted to mean success in any un-
dertaking she may be interested in
at the time.

Eat Nuts for Heat

We have so long regarded nuts as
Ee last course for the Christmas din
ner that we fail to realise, that they
have real place In onr dietary. Nuts
are to the human system about what
caroline represents to the motor car.
The machine may be perfect In all its
parts but without gas It stands still.
Nuts through their fats and oils are
quick energy and heat producers.
They leave no waste for the kidneys
and intestines to carry of. Almost
all their substance goes into pep"
When SUFFICIENT energy has been pro-
duced the rest of the oil Is held in
the body as fatty tissue, to be used at
a future time.
Nuts are composed of carbon. hy-
drogen and oxygen. carbon predomi-
mating. They have about the same
effect as sugar in heat making. In
certain diseases such as diabetes,
where sugar cannot be assimiiated
and overworks the kidneys, nuts are
used with splendid results. In tu-
berculosis, where. there Is mucn
waste Of tissue and loss of weight,
they are invaluable because OF the
quick conipustion.
Nuts are really too heavy in fats
to be eaten at the close OF a meal,
but should be taken after the sopp
as one of the heavy courpes. In
winter they should hnd a/place in
fathers overcoat pocket. IN moth
ers handbag and on the school
lunch menu, for they get up steam
quickly when energy lags and we
"feel cold"

not miss this. Meet me at the wom-
ans Political Club at 1:3o and lunch

Miss Fullerton ran Off without wait
ing for Doris to demur.
Much troubled as to how her hus-
band would be likely to take her
change Of plans, Doris sought out
Margaret, whom she found engaged in
her household accounts at the desk In
her downstairs sitting room.
"Of course. you must CO." Mrs.
Durant declared on hearing the case
We're all Iawfully fond of Annex
cept Stewart, whom she goes to great
lengths to antagonize. But Anne Is
one OF the most prominent club wom-
en- In town: she is modern to her
finger tips, and believe she will be
great help to you, especially as
she seems to have taken a great
fancy to you"
Had better call Stewart and
tell him that I'm not going to the
lecture" enQuired Doris anxiously.
Margaret frowned judicially with
the tip of her gold pen holder
against her lips.
No, / think IL will not be neces-
sary. i will tell him when he
comes home that you had never
seen a race and I thought It would
be more OF an education to you than
the concert"
From her sister-in-law's careful
planning. Doris CLEANED the idea for
the first time that Margaret, In
spite of her air of independence.
was a trife afraid of her brother.
She went away puzzled to dress
Tor her engagement. why did ev-
eryone stand in awe Of Stewart, she
wondered? That he was exception
ally clever and worthy of admira-
tion she acknowledge, but why
every member of the household
should seek to palliste him, was
puzzling. Memory Of her one ex-
perience with his unleashed temper
recurred to her vividly. Was that
the explanation. she wondered? Or
was it the sheer force of his domi-
nant personality?
She sighed in perplexity and as
was her wont when facing the in
expllcable. promptly abandoned the
puzzle.
She had frequently read accounts
or the races in fashion journals and
knew that the smartesr of costumes
were de rigeur there, so she made
an exceptionally careful toilet.
She was very trig little figure
when she threw herself a final
glance in the glass. She knew that
her frock was undeniably smart and
the autumn. hat she had selected
under Margare5s = i'dEnce had a
Partisan jauntiness.
Il always think I look nice until
see Mrs Stevenson" she told her
self with a grfmace.
Rummaging in a drawer Of the
dressing table in search Of a hand
kerchtcf, her fingers en- ,oUntered a
glass bottle:- 1t was the French
perfume she had put reluctantly
away after Carrington's TRADE ON
the evils of scent.
Sfe lifted it out and looked at Its
carved surface and tie undulatins

Mrs. Stevens used an Oriental
perfume, she thought resentfuliy:
the fragrance of lilacs always clune
about Lila Demarest, and a triple
extract of lily OF the valley occu-
pied prominent place on Marga-
rets dressing table.
The thought of Anne FulIefeon's
open defiance of Carrington's wishes
suddenly stimulated Doris.
She drew the glass stopper from
the bottle and touched its glisteninr
inner surface to her throat and the
lobes Of her ears.
The fragrance of Parma yiolets
rose intoxicatingly to her nostrils.
It was her first act of rebellion

sible for the foolish and extrava-

the entire burden OF blame on the
fashion magazines and the women
buyers who. they claim, demand
such things.

Strauss, that a manufacturer had

that the manufacturers had decided
