OUR WEEKLY Interview

c. v. Peterson-"What chance
does Washburn stand in the
track meet? AS far as I am able
to judge, Washburn has a good
fighting chance to win the track
meet. No one could ask for
better one. Hard, consistent
training will win.
I'VE came through the basket
ball season in wonderful shape.
In the race for the Mclean
County basket, ball champion
ship honors, the Washburn team
was not beaten until the last
whistle of the last game of the
season. The same spirit, with
anywhere near an even break
of luck, will bring the track
championship to Washburna again
this year."

Mr.. PosSum was specially interested
when he found that Mrs Rabbit was,
among other things, putting up great
deal Of canned corn, and he decided
that when it was dark he would just
take a peek into her pantry window
and see how many cans she had.
Right in front of the window was
tree and one limb hung low enough so
that Mr.. Possum with a little care
could easily swing himself from it and
reach the pantr./ window.
Now this might have been safe
enough if the limb had been good
one, but it wasn't. and when Mr.. Pos
sum ran along it. before he could even
get ready to swing, "crackle, snap,
went the limb and down went Mr..
Possum into a barrel Of whitewash
Mrs. Rabbit had ready to use on her
little house.
And that was not the worst Of it.
He ran home so scared that he didn't
remember running at all after it was
over. Mrs. Possum didn't know him,
but thought he was some terrible
white creature come to carry off her
children and slammed the door right
in his face.
All night Mr.. Possum had to sit out
side, the whitewash dripping from his
coat, and in the morning, bright and
early. al the little bunnies and Mr.
and Mrs. Rabbit as we'll were standing
in front of the house looking at him.
Mrs. Rabbit wanted to know what he
meant by carrying off some of her
whitewasi, "AIr Rabbit and l and
all the little bunnies tracked you,
and you need not deny it," she said
Mr.. Possum did not try to deny 1t,
for what was the use? He was all COW
cred with the white stuff. But he did
try to tell Mr.. and Mrs. Rabbit that 1t
was all an accident, that he was just
running along the limb and off it broke
and he happened to fall into the white
wash.
Mrs. Possum had found out it was
her husband by this time, Of course,
and she came out to say that what
Mrs. Rabbit could think they wanted
of her whitewash was more than she
could tell.
Mrs. Rabbit wiggled her nose and
looked very wise. "Well," she said,
If that is true, Mr.. Possum, that 1t
was all an accident, why, of course,
that is all there is to it, but you must
admit that it did look suspicious"
Mr.. Possum admitted that 1t did and
off ran the Rabbit family for home,
but it was a long time before Mr.
Possum could 60 abroad again, for the
white coat he wore was to be plainly
seen in the daytime or at night.

THE RIGHT THING
at the
RIGHT TIME
BINARY MARSHALL DUFFEE

TT IS a usual question for q young
| girl to write asking who should take
the first piece Of candy from box
brought to her by young man caller.
And when you come to think OF It,
there are a good many puzzling things
involved in the problems connected
with q box Of candy.
To begin with, if man brings a
girl box Of candy, she usually opens
II while he is present. She then passes
It to any other women in the room.
then to the man, and then she helps
herself. If he, when she passes 1t,
holds It for her to take q piece, she
does so. If the candy comes by mail
or messenger, she opens it, Of course,
und does not wait until he calls, even
II she knows who the candy comes
from before opening it, and knows
likewise that the donor is to call.
Perhaps the most important thing to
remember in connection with the good
manners connected with candy is that
the person who always greedily eats
candy and never buys it is very i'll
bred. 1t is the weekend custom for
some men to bring home a box Of
candy. In some families there is one
candy-loving member who lies in wait
for the weekly sweets and eats as
many pieces as she can get. She takes
one every time the box is passed, and
i perhaps helps herself between times.
Now it Is quite all right to accept
candy, if you like it, when it Is passed.
But YOU should not eat more than your
share, and you should not eat even
this much If you are not in the habit
occasionally of standing treat yourself.
You should, If you have sweet tooth
and eat other peoples sweets, provide
a box full of your own occasionally.
Candy is one of the gifts that a man
may give woman-candy, flowers and
! hooks constitute the conventional trio.
Nobody wonders if the donor Of q box
of candy te girl is thinking of fall
Ing in love with her. Candy nova
Gays is quite the correct and accepted
gift from anybody that can afford 1t.
And no girl need feel hesitant about
accepting candy in this way. OF course,
If she thinks man cannot afford it..
but buys it for her simply because ne
thinks he ought to. she might suggest
to him that he really should not IN
lulge her sweet tooth so often. And
never. never should girl hint for
sweets. There are some girls who
cannot pass a candy store window with
out casting longing glances at them,
and sometimes even commenting on
their fondness for candy. No man
should feel rude in ignoring these
symptoms.
It. is not necessary to write a note
thanking q man for a gift Of candy II
he follows the gift shortly with a
call. The thanks should not be for
gotten, but they may be delivered YER
bally. (Copyright) 3.

INQUISITIVE POSSJM.

TT WAS Mr.. Owl who gave the WOOD
folk the warning by calling out one
night, "To whom it may concern! y
At least the wood people knew that
vas what he meant, hut anybody else
might have thought he just cried, "Io
whoo, to whoo"
So when all the animals both great
and small had gathered around his
tree he told them that in his opinion
it was to be very, very hard winter.
That. of course, meant that they
must begin right away to lay up
stores for the cold, snoWed-in days.
and everyone bestirred himself at once
to do this.
Even Mrs. Rabbit, who seldom made
much preparation for the winter days,
began to do up preserves. all the small
bunnies were sent out with their bas-
kets to gather corn and beans and
beet tops and all sorts Of good things.
IL We cannot get them green" said

whats i'm a Name?"
By MILDRED MARSHALL
Faces about your name: It's history; mean
NC: whence II was derived; significance;
your lucky day and lucky jewel.
HETTY.

I" HE simple little name Of Het-
ty, suggestive Of pleasant home
I. iy domesticity, has lofty sig
nificance. 1t is translated to mean "a
star" Perhaps, after all, the steady
bright insistence of the stars may
nave some psychic reference to the
generally accepted conception Of the
Hettys Of the world. ...,
4 Hetty Is in reality the endearing
diminutive given to the more digni-
fed Hester, but so coldly austere is
the latter name that Hetty has come
to be bestowed in baptism with COM
pleted disregard for its proper pred
ecessor.
Hetty came into existence by rath-
er complicated evolution through sew
eral languages. The fair daughter OF
the tribe Of Benjamin whose royalty
insured her peoples safety, was called
Atossa. Her name in the Persian Ian
guage - quite unpronouncable - was
combined with the Latin word for star
"stella'' and from the union, came the
modern estrella. In the Septuagint,
the Romans make this word Hestera
or Esthera. "
In England, the "a'' was dropped and
Hester and Esther were bestowed as
feminine names. The latter became Es-
sic when the inevitable dIminutive was
Forthcoming, and Hester soon gave
place to Hetty, though the original
form was usually preserved on the
church registers. 1t was for: America
to gayly discard the proper appellative
and substitute Hetty for all occasions.
Hettys talismanic stone Is the tur-
auoise, which promises her steadfass
friends, true love, and freedom fror,
danger. If she sees the new moon re-
deeted In the stoHe, she will have rare
good luck. Saturday is her lucky day
and i've her lucky number. az ',@
