What They Mean
DID YOU DREAM OF FRIENDS2

TITO SEE friends in q dream Is a
i good sign on the whole. If you
simply dream of seeing an absent
friend Ii means, according to the mys-
tic authorities on such subjects, that
there Is pleasure ahead for you prob
ably you will receive good news soon.
For people In love 1t foretells mar
riage, and to dream Of absent friends
Is q sign of their speedy return, or
that you will take trip to the absent
ones; at any rate that you will soon
see them again. AS to the proper
manner of COMFORTING yourself when
you meet friends in dream the au-
thorities differ. But the consensus of
opinion seems to be that you should
not laugh and dsport yourself with
them, as hilarious behavior with
friends in Dreamland Is apt to take
the edge off the good fortune which
seeing them would otherwise bring
you, may even subject you to some
slight, temporary troubles. Shocking
as It may appear though, 1t is con-
sidered by the seers to be lucky to
see yourself taking a drink with them.
That Is, 1t has been considered hereto
fore, but probably future oracles will
cut this sign out. At any rate be
careful and don't take but "just one"
for otherwise you might become spor-
tive and hilarious with your dream
friends and nullify your good luck.

1t is rather good idea to do some

can get better hint from this than
you will get from doctor or teacher.
And II you work to bring yourself
closer to par, where you find you are
below 1t, such a tabulation will pay
you well.
1t is easy to get hold of charts
where different qualities are given
points to show their relative value.
Get one of these and start measuring
yourself.
One such chart, which sets out to
show the qualities most valuable in

into rs separate items, totaling up to

points for any one item is So. This
item Is Assuming Responsibility.

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
WHIST"

MANY persons, In seeking the
1V1 derivation of the name Of
the popular card game, have
come to the conclusion that 1t
originated in any one of the pop
ular calculations calling for ST.
lence or attention-the Latin
s. the German hist" or the
Scotch whist" This explana-
ton sounds logical, but there
are others who as stoutly main
tain that the name was derived
from the fact that trumps
sweep" or 'whisk" the board,
a contention which Is supported
by a study of at least three of
the languages which enter into
the groundwork of English.
Thus, In German. we find
"wisch," meaning mop" In
Danish, the equivalent Of the
verb ito wipe" is "viske" and
In Scotch It Is "wiska"-all of
which bear a striking resem-
blance to the English whist"
Another form of the same word
may be found in the term
"whisk-broom," meaning Il broom
which whisks or flecks or wipes
particles of dust from clothing
and the like.
whist" therefore, instead of
signifying silence or attention,
takes its name from the use of
the trump-suit and naturally
dates back to the days when the
mo trumps" declaration was un-
known.
