Uncle wiggily was out walking
in front of his hollow stump bun
galow one day when, all of a sud-
den, he heard a voice cry:
"Hi therei Look out!"
Goodness me sakes alive and
some ice cream mush with butter
cups" exclaimed the old rabbit
gentleman. Can this be the Skud-
'dlemagoon after me again, since
the Tumble Bugs chased him
away?"
But, a moment later, Uncle Wig

his tall silk hat and Jackie Bow

chased after the ball.

What S in a Name?
BY Mildred Marshall. \
GRETCHEN.
By Mild


Margaret in any other language
is just as fair and popular name.
Her transiations and derivatives are
legion. Germany calls her Marga-
rethe. accepting her as the same
beautiful name which We use 10
signify a pearl.
BIT the teutonic influence is strong
and II places its stamp indelibly upon
all that IL receives, so Margarethe
wass straightway cut in two parts
and the latter syllable was con-
tracted to Crete. The next step in
the evolution was Grethel a name
which figures in various "Mahr-
chen" Out of this latter Gretchen
came to be formed. and 1t was rem
dered classical by Goethe In his
immortal Faust" where the un-
fortunate heroine is affectionately
termed Gretche. by the German
people instead of Marguerite.
.Grel is an equivalent form and
Mete is sometimes used instead of
Gretchen. 1t was very fashionable
in the time of Roopstock's sway
over the lovers of religious poetry.
The pearl is Gretchen's talisma mic
gem. 1t will bring her charm, ana
bility and many friends, and it will
also preserve her beauty, according
TO ancient superstition. Monday is
her lucky day and her lucky
number.

Sleep Alone

Modern health advocates declare
unequivocally for the separate bed.
The man or woman who has slept
for years in the old-fashioned
double bed has little idea of the
great amount OF energy that is lost
to them through subconsciously
adapting themselves to the whims
of a sleeping partner
Many light" sleepers have been
made so by having only the small
est half of the bed in which to
sleep. The American Journal of
Clinical Medicine says: Personal
contact interrupts the functions Of
sleep. Sleep then is never so rest
full because the restlessness of
either of the sleepers is communi-
Gated to the other. Then also ev-
cry one knows how infections such
as colds, sore throat and coughs
are communicated by sleeping in
the same bed with the one afflicted.
The constant exchange of mag
netism with one who shares a bed
tends also to create an apathy and
a distaste for contact-and some
thing OF the elusive charm and mys-
terry of sex aloofness is lost there
by. For children to sleep with the
aged-to whom they constantly
lose magnetism and vital force, is a
crime against the child. The facts
OF such loss are admitted by every
competent medical man.
In other words the brain is kept
awake by the message IL Is con-
stantly receiving from the tense
muscles and We do not sleep until
We relax.

THE DURER TYPE.

Albrecht Durer, one of the great
est painters of the Germans. and in
deed one of the foremost of all por-
traitists, spent many an hour con-
templating the subject of beauty
and he was forever asking himself
wherein consisted true beauty of
women. He came eventually to the
conclusion that mo one but God
knows" what constitutes true
beauty and that the most that NOR
tai might do was to depict as faith
fully as possible just what he saw.
Hence the intense realism that
seems sometimes almost to amount
to ugliness in the faces that he por-
trsyed.
Utility is an element in beauty"
he told himself in his meditative
writings, therefore what is useless
in man is Iot beautiful" and this
notion he applied to his portrayal of
women no less than of men. ITO
judge of beauty chould in my opin-
ion." he continues, "be like the
standard of what is good"
How different is this from the
theory of Rubens. who reduces his
ideas of the beautiful woman to a
system of enticing curves and vo-
luptuous coloring.
So IL happens that not every OBJ
server finds the faces of Durer's S
women beautiful. To do so requires
reflection. One must appreciate the
beauty of the character reflected in
the face. AS a matter of fact Dur
e-'s realistic method of painting was
better suited to representing men
than women. and he portrayed COM
paratively few heads of women. His
own beautiful. but scolding wife,
Agnes Frey, sat for an occasional
portrait, and Katahrina Furliger
the typical German maedchen with
modest downcast eyes, was another
of his models.
Balzac, Frenchman though he was,
does not fail to appreciate the pc
culiar charm of these Durer women
! and in describing his Mile. de Waite
Vile he says that at Is her face
was extremely like those of Albert
Durer's saints, the same plump
! though slender modelling. the same
severe guilelessness. Everything
