Is it really your work that is exhaust

girls recently, and she was feeling very
sorry for herself She is a pretty thing, all
golden curls and fetching dimples, and
everyone pities her for being so generally
worn out. Everyone that IL except her

We'll, perhaps Rose isn't very strong,

in the Office, it's the fun she has outside
Rose is on the 60 every single minute. She

Why Is an Old Joke Called Chestnut"
Many explanations have been offered
for this peculiar slang term which slipped
unannounced, into the language about
ranging all the way
from a corruption Of Jest not" toa statee
ment that il was d reference TO last years
chestnuts which look fair and inviting
on the outside but are really wormv and
utterly yalueless According TO Joseph
Jefferson, however, the term originated
at dinner given 70 William Warren, the
famous comedian
There is a melodrama,' stated Jeffer-
son. during the height Of the contro-
versy over the ancestry Of the word,
but little known TO the present genera
ton, called The Broken Sword One of
tie characters, Captain Zavier, is sort
Of Baron Manchausen, and IN telling Of
his exploits, says? i enterd the Woods
Of Galloway VIXEN suddenly, from the
thic} bough Il - c0rl-tree Pablo, his
servant, interrupts him with A chest
nut, Captain, a chestnut, BAH replied
the captain, i say cork-tTee.' "A chest
nut reiterates Pablo, i should know
as well as you, having heard you tell the
tale these twenty-geven times
Warren, who had often played the part
Of Pablo, was at the dinner in question
when one Of the gentlemen present told
q story Of doubtful age and originality.
"A chestnut murmured Warren, i have
heard that tale these twentyrseven
times The application of the lines pleased
%he rest Of the table, and when the party
broke up each one helped to spread the
story--and that, ! believe, was the real
origin Of the word chestnut as applied

GOOD HOUSEKEEPING
BY Laura A. hirkman.
Is YOUR KITCHEN APLEAS ANT
PLACE TO BE IN

LatI Il " stIS i-s.
We housekeepers spend more time
in the kitchen than in any other room
in the house And we should realize the
importance OF having this working spot
a place that is soothing 10 our nerves.
We all know how eagerly We dress
and leave our doorstep to 60 and call
upon some friend VIC really like-and
how reluctantly we prepare 10 make g
duty call upon someone we do not
like II is the same with our kitchen.
Unconsciously, we shrink from enter
ing a kitchen that Is unattraetIve and
drab-colored
How can we make our kitchens pleasant
er? First. we can keep them scrupulously
clean We can have cleaning white oil
cloth on al wood surfaces We can have
crisply-starched white curtains at the
windows
Secondly, we can have our kitchens
arranged for working efficiency. All sur
faces should some 20 the housekee per's
waistlne This is easily achieved for the
small woman, but tall women will have
20 have their tables raised on props be-
meath the legs and have the sink raised
But | cant afford to have plumber
come and raise my sink, can hear
some readers saying a. they read this
That will not be necessary, however,
if the housekeeping will raise her ish-
pan in the sink by standing il on a wire
drainer or on another pan when she uses
il She will find that she will not get as
tired at her work if all surfaces are lnde
level with her waist line
Then there are those details which
make the housekecpers work seem lighter
and without which no kitchen should
be considered complete One Of these
things is a stool 70 sit on while beating
up cakes, pairing fruit or vegetables, or
doing any other task which could possibly
be done sitting down.

Ina Claire, the Belasco stage star
win be seen in pictures today at the
Arcade Theatre in Polly With o
Past" adapted by June Mathis from
tho theatrical success by George Mid.
dleton and Guy Bolton.
II was this play which brought Miss
Claire, for nearly a year now engaged
in enacting the principal role in ''The
Gold Disgcrs~ at the Lyoeum Theatre,
New York, TO stardom. The story has
to do with young girl, who came
from the country TO study for the ope-
ratio stage but forced by circumstances
finally to be a housemaid. There the
friends Of Rex Van zile. in an effort
to interest that impressionable young
man from another woman they detest,
prevail upon Polly sharon to assume a
past of an interestingly brilliant hue,
And there properly-or perhaps i'm,
properly-the story really begins.
