S in a Name?
BY Mildred Marshall.
CORINNE.

Corinne has been in vogue In
America for so many years that her
distinguished French origin has al
most been forgotten. Seldom does
deliberately foreign name receive
such welcome or such permanent
popularity. The Greek is RESPONSE
BILE for the earliest source of Co
rinne, the name coming probably
from Persephone's title Kore. a
maiden. which was applied to the
Boetian poetess. who won a wreath
of victory at Thebes.
But unlike many OF the ancient
favorites connected with the bright
est lights of the Old World, this
name persisted, and when ambitious
writer's. eager for new name for
heroine. delved into early history,
Corinna was salvaged and put into
current use. Nine. de Stael created
the brilliant Corinne, Heroine of the
novel of that name. and insured her
Immortality. French damseis beyond
number adopted the name. while in
Italy Corinna appeared in an early
chronicle OF the Middle Ages. relat-
ing the story of the lady best known
as Rowcna. daughter OF Henghist.
The warm-hued carnelian is Co
rinne's talismanic stone. II will pro-
tect her against danger and disease
and will give her courage and poise

Skin Is Water Proof.

One might think from the way in
which we scurTy in from the rain
that our skins were a sort of tissue
paper fabric that would disinte-
CRATE under water. As a matter of
fact a very interesting recreation
would be an occasional shower bath
in the rain. 1t is only what we
suffer from the rain drenched
clothes which cool in the air.
Our skin is virtually water tight
and oiled, as it is by the secretion
of the sebaceous glands, it serves
both to keep in the water which
forms such an important part Of
the tissues and to keep out the
water which might otherwise soak
into the body. This waterproof
chara cteristic also makes it almost
Impossible to absorb food materi-
ais by way of the skin. A milk
bath may at times be useful in the
care of the skin. because the fats
or oil of the milk may supply any
deficiency in the sebaceous secre-
ton and so insure fabrication of
the outer skin, but il cannot be n
means of supplying food to the
body.
The little glands pouring their oil
from inside keep floating OFF any
foreign substance that may i'C on the
skin. Note the young woman WITH
her ubiquitous powder-puff. Her
nose is powdered every hour on
the hour" and yet bushels of pow
der pass into the great unknown
and not one grain is absorbed by
the skin. Powder merely drys the
skin and the glands, working a
little harder. moisten it again. The
more powder the more moisture
and so the little comedy of Art and
Nature goes on.

want"

Osborne burst forth, then checked
himself quickly at her stiffened

meant to say was; 1 know how
you feel about giving Alison up.

our secrecy, if you must know"
The inadvertent dropping of a
hand grenade would have produced
less sensation. The resultant ex-

WHAT Do YOU WANT2

In this old world Of ours
things operate all in all upon a
pretty fair basis. A man gets
, just about what he wants if he
wants it bad enough, bad enough
to sacrifice other things and
work like the very dickens for
the one objective that seems
worth while to him. 1t is not
Justifiable to pity the ditch dig
ger or street sweeper for his lot,
You can rest assured that if he
wanted something else he would
get it. That holds true all along
ie line of vocation, avocation,
profession, and whatnot. To cv-
cry man a certain pursuit affords
remuneration that is worth to
m as much as seemingly
more prosperous pursuit affords
some other man.
Some people are cut out to be
the servants of the rest OF man
kind, some to be their masters.
Some men are naturally fitted
to be small business men ard
others big ones. People some
times, most often, don't realize
hat they have got what they
really want. They envy others
greater prosperity and speak Of
luck and opportunity and ad-
vantages. That is all tommyrot.
If a man wants a thing bad
enough he can get it. The differ
ence is, psychologrcally, differ
ence in capacity for wanting
Some people can just naturally
want more and harder than
others, and achieve accordingly.
