THERESA.

DNE Of the pre,tiest Of feminine
~ names which for some reason has
always been associated with France
and yet Is essentially English, Is
Theresa. 1t Is one of the many femi-
nine names which come from the har-
vest and its original source Is Greek
word meaning to reap or gather in a
crop.
The first to bear the name was a
Spanish lady, the wife Of Roman
noble called Paulinus. Both Paullnus
and his wife were devotees of st. Je-
rome. The name Theresa had great
vogue in Spain and is finally found as
Teresa on throne in Leon In the
Tenth century.
The most noted Teresa appears In
the Sixteenth century when the Ro-
man Catholic church produced the re-
markable saint of that name through
the Spanish connection Of the house
of Austria; the princesses Of Spain and
Germany were frequently chrlstened
Teresa.
In France II became Terrese through
the queen of Louis XIV and Provence
called 1t Terezon. The empress-queen
added greatly to It's fame, her noble
spirit winning all hearts

Facilitated Melting Of Snow.

Automobile highways which cross
the Sierra Nevada mountains Of Cali
fornia are usually closed to traffic
as late as June on account OF the slow
melting of the deep snow which covers
the higher levels. In order to ac-
celerate the melting Of the snow and
thus to expedite the opening OF the
highways, the experiment was made
this spring Of scattering black soil
and ashes on snow which covered the
highways. AS result of the increased
absorption of solar heat the snow
melted rapidly, and the roads were
opened several weeks earlier rnan

The Right Thing

| can manage much better when unaid-
| ed.
If woman Is overtaken or over
takes man Of her acquaintance she
is privileged to ask him to accompany
her as far as their ways go together,
though needless to say she would say
this only to n close acquaintance. She
should not do this. however, when he
is accompanied by another woman and
would not usually wish to when he
was accompanied by another man.
When taking pleasure walk togeth-
err 1t Is always the woman's privilege
TO set the pace and make suggestions
as to the direction in which the walk
should be taken.
If woman chances to see that a
stranger has dropped something what
should she do? This is question that
sometimes comes up. She should not
stop to pick IL up unless the man is de-
cdely older than she and she Is very
young. She should courteously attract
his attention to the fact that he has
dropped the article and leave him to
pick it up for himself. However IL
she Is walking behind the one who has
lost the article and not to pick 1t up for
him might mean that 1t would be trod-
den upon she may In common sense
stoop and get 1t.

"Oh, haven't you any faceT asked
the little creature, cor Is II behind old
black cloud? Sometimes he does hide

Henry went to the mirror, and sure
enough this time he found that In
place OF his face there was heavy
black cloud, through which he could
see but dimly.
He looked at the sunshine and the
little fairy had been Joined by hun
dreds of others who were dancing
about In the jolliest manner.
Henry forgot all about the cloud as
he watched them, and presently a
stream Of sunshine cleared away the
cloud and Henry jumped up, for you
see he was dreaming all the time he
had fallen asleep.
The wind had blown the shade and
into the room came the bright sun,
but Henry could not find the fairies
though he looked everywhere.
"They did drive away heavy black
cloud" thought Henry, "and I do feel
happier Perhaps there are some
fairies In the sunshine after all"

LOW frequently do we hear some
one say, or read in newspaper.

less he walks or drives to the hotel

proper to say, "The parade stopped at
the hotel" meaning that the parade
ceased its motion when it reached the
hotel. But the parade could not "stay"
at the hotel. A person makes a "stay"
at hotel, not stop, and he stays
there. One should not say. II stopped
at the summer resort six weeks" but
II stayed there six weeks"
The true meaning Of the word stop"
was well understood by the man who
did not invite his professed friend to
visit him. He said: IF you come ut
any time within ten miles Of my house

and stay there until the cloud cleared
from his face.
Henry did not quite understand
about the "heavy, black cloud" but he
did know, of course, that he had be-
haved badly, so he went to his room
feeling that everyone was treating him
unlindly.
Have not got heavy cloud on my
face" he said, looking in the mirror.
Then he drew the shade because some
one had once told him that little
fairies danced In the sunlight when
1t streamed into the room.
"Get out or my ROOM" said Henry.
II won't have any fairies in here. l
don't like girls, and all fairies are
girls. Anyway, don't believe in
fairies, only those in picture books"
Henry was very cross as you see,
and he did not want to see the sun

on his back to think over how cross
everything was that morning.

WHEN SHE WALKS.

"A little neglect may breed mischief. -
Franklin.
WHEN walking with woman 1t Is
w customary for the man to ask
to carry any parcels she may be bur-
dened with. 1t is a woman's privilege
to insist on carrying them herself, but
remember that II Is very embarrassing
for man to walk with woman who
is burdened as. besides feeling regret
that he cannot aid her, he is put in a
false position by those whom he may
meet.
Every well-bred woman should know
that Ii Is no longer considered the
right thing for a man to take her arm
in walking unless she is feeble or the
way hazardous. If she happens TO be
accompanied by man who Is not
aware of this fact she should not take
offense, but If he takes her arm she
should ascribe 1t to his ignorance of
that rule of good breeding and restrain
him by simply assuring him that she
