"No, of course not" said Mr.. Fox.
But don't you know that the whole
Stoat family has new white coats, and
that it can get around i'm the snow
without being seen much easier than ]
can, or either of you fellowsT
THAT Stoat family" said Mr.. Fox,
''when | was q youngster, used to be
called the weasel family, and when
they are not dressed i'm those fine white
coats of theirs they wear very home
ly brown one, and are very common
looking family; so they need not put

Mr.. Mans barn. There are plenty Of
rats i'm there, and there is also big
pail of black paint, and that is where
we put it over Mr.. Stoat and family"
Just what happened inside the barn
Mr.. Fox and his friends never knew.
But when the Stoat family came out
they could be plainly seen against the
white snow, for every one of that fam
lily was black.
Whether the farmer tracked them
by the paint or whether they felt so
disgraced by having their fine white
coats spoiled Mr.. Fox and his friends
never knew; but they disappeared
from around those parts and the farm
yard was not so carefully guarded
after that

"What'S in a Name?"
By MILDRED MARSHALL
Facts about your name; It's history; mean
ing; whence IL was derived; significance;
your lucky day and lucky jewel.
ELAINE

A SOUTHERN favorite is Elaine,
"A that most poetical and harmo-
nious Of feminine names. Before the
Civil war, every proud family of south
ern blood had an Elaine among Its
daughters, the Elaine Fitzhughs and
Elaine Dulanys were legion, each
"belle of three counties" and the de-
spair of many a lovelorn southern gal
liant.
But Elaine was not born in the
South by any matter of means. Her
origin dates back to the days Of beau
tiful Helen of Troy, when the name
Helen, coming from the Greek heliOs,
meaning light, was permitted to drop
its initial "h" and become Ellen. In
Cambria, however, this was too lacking
in poetry to be popular and it was
called Elayne. 1t occurred under that
spelling in the registers of early times
and thus explains the gentle Lady
Elayne. mother Of Sir Galahad, whom
Tennyson makes his Lady of Shalott.
The name came to prominence again
ss Lady Elayne of the Round Table,
Elaine the fair, Elaine the lovable,
Elaine the lily maid Of Astolot, whose
tragic fate is the source of song and
story in the 'Idylls Of the King" Her
Irish prototype was Elayne or Eileen
O'Brien, who likewise met with trag-
ic end, taking her own life after being
carried away to Castle Knock by Rog-
er Tyrrel, one of the fierce Anglo
Normans.
Tennyson's description of Elaine is
exquisite:
Where could be found face daintier? Than
her shape,
From forehead down to foot perfect
again
From foot to forehead exquisitely turned
Fair she was, my king,
Pure as you ever wish your knights to be
To doubt her fairness were TO want an
To doubt her pureness were to want a
heart
Elaine's talismanic gem is the pearl,
giver of charm and love and purity
fitting jewel for so lovely a name. The
lily Is her flower, fact which Tenny-
son uses with such touching pathos In
describing the funeral bier of the dead
Elaine. Monday is her lucky day and
her lucky number.
