 Mr. Blackbird, who had been nearby and heard all that had been said, flew into the tree and began to peck at an apple.
 How dare you spoil my unripe fruit" said the tree, when there are plenty of ripe apples on the ground?"
 "I did not care to risk one of your hard apples striking me-" replied MT. Blackbird- 'I saw the way you treat ed Madam Pig, and besides I rather enjoy spelling fruit

 There, you see what has hap pened," said MT. Blackbird, hopping and chattering with glee. You have lost all your fruit, and just because you wanted to be thanked for some thing you had thrown away.
 "If you had not been so unjust to Madam Pig perhaps I should have eaten the apples on the ground and you would not have been in such a fit of anger" and away he flew, leav- ing the tree to think over what he had said.

 4 man never takes woman's arm when walking In the street save when she is too old or feeble to walk un- aided or when the way is so slippery as to be hazardous. It is regarded as decidedly provincial or 'tsecond rate'' to do this.
 When walking with a woman a man never stops to speak to an acquaint- ance whom he chances to meet unless the woman takes the lead in so doing
 If man happens to meet a woman acquaintance, even though he is we'll acquainted with her, he would not think of stopping to talk with her in the street, but if there was something which they wished to discuss he might ask whether he might walk with her for little way. He would show the same consideration to his mother or sister in this regard.
 If man overtakeS woman going in the same direction that he is he would never think of accompanying her without asking permission and unless he knew her well enough to be quite sure that she would not have the slightest objection he would not ask for this.
 A man does not invariably take the curb side of the sidewalk when ac- a woman. He does if the road is muddy and therefore that side is less desirable. In city streets he takes the side that makes it possible for him to meet pedestrian traffic coming in the other way That is, he would walk at her left where traffic keeps to the right as it does in American cities.

HOW DO YOU SAY IT?
 By C. N. LURE Common Errors in English and How to Avoid Them
EACH OTHER, ONE ANOTHER; i;
 EITHER, ANY, NEITHER, NONE.

DROPERLY, the term leach other'' I is to be used of only one pair of persons or things which stand in rela- ton, and the term "one another only of more than two such persons or things. Thus, we may say: "The two friends presented gifts to each other" :" but not "to one another;" ''an of the nations of the earth should dwell in amity with one another," not with each other." There are, however, au- thorities on grammar who hold that the two phrases may be used inter for example. -indley Mur- ray says, 1.-Two negatives in English destroy one another
 A similar distinction is made by grammarians between "etther''- and any and between neither and ''none." "Either" and neither apply to two; 'any" and "none'' to more than two- Thus, do not say, 'I have not seen either of the three men ;'' neither of the twelve jurors was con- vinced of the mans guilt"

ADELE.

D ERIVED from the TeutOnic Adilo, D which also is the root of Ade- laide, the name is one of the most an- cient known to students. The sig nificance of the name is of the most heroic character and 1t was a favorite with the ruling houses of the various German principalities as far back as the Tenth and Eleventh centuries. The name in it's earliest beginnings was very much the same in form and even spelling as it Is today. Adela is prob ably the widest variation in the course of centuries.
 The name was widely adopted in France, as well as in England and Italy under different forms from Ada laida to Adeline.

CHAPTER CCITI.

Mrs. Cosby!" 1 called again to the
empty room.
OF course there wasn't any answer. 1
waited a minute or two as if 1 expected
Valerie Cosby to materialize from some
of the cobwebby chiffons that were flung
across chairs and doorknobs. Then, very
quietly, l went out and shut the door
noiselessly after me. l ran back to my
own room and let myself in.
There was big chair over by the
window. l sank down on it, and sitting
stiffly on the edge, folded my hands and
let my arms hang Imply in front of it.
I looked idly at the window pane, but I
don't think I was looking through it,
exactly. My eyes seemed sightIess, some
how-indifferent. Gradually, I began to
notice that a silvery radiance was steal
ing through the room. / raised my eyes
to follow it to the window-out into the
night.

Then I began to think-sullenly. re-
sentfully.
I hadn't seen Jim since before 10
o'clock. 1t was after - now-nearer 1.
Perhaps there wasn't a thing to--resent.
Jim might be playing pool or more poker.
Valerie Cosby might have gone down
stairs again or she might have come up
stairs by now.
He might. She might But I knew
better. In every resentful beat of my
heart 1 knew that Valerie Cosby and
Jim were out in the moonlight together
knew that l was being made a fool of.
And so was Lane Cosby. 1 wondered
what he'd do if he knew.
There wasn't a thing I could do.
Nothing but wait. I saw that. I'd be

whole hotel know.
I must have sat there like that for
half an hour. Then there was a knock
at my door. I went to answer and
found Lane Cosby in the matchmaking,
actually chuckling.

Don't you want me to wash these?"

No indeed" replied Mrs. Hooper.
You can't use washed eggs any more
than you can dirty ones"
Why not:" asked the bride.
Because you remove the protective
gelatinous covering if you wash them"
answered Mrs. Hooper, and if you use
the dirty ones the eggs viii become

why l had to have clean ones"
That's one of the reasons you are

bride admlringly. Il suppose you never
trust to luck"

you treat them exactly as if they were

sary to prick small hole through the

Why do you do that2" asked the

Because the pores Of the egg have
been sealed by the water glass solution
and without the pinhoIe the expanding
