Jewel, Flower, Color
Symbols for Today
BY MILDRED MARSHALL.

For today the sapphire is both the
talismanic gem and the natal stone.
The ancients believed that it was
blessed by the gods, and so was en-
dowed with the power to bring
wealth to men and to women, the
faithfulness of those whom they
loved. In olden times, it was believed
to lose its color if worn by one
who was unfaithful to husband or
wife.
Dark blue is today's color. 1t is
symbolic of steadfast devotion, as
we'll as of wisdom and clear think
ing.
The old-fashioned pink, which
stands for true love, is today's flow

Where It Started

The use OF this word for army
and navy meals is derived from the
ancient custom of placing guests in
fours, which were called "messes;"
this custom antedates Shakespeare,
and is referred to by him in several
of his plays. The division of SOL
diers into squads of eight, or two
"messes" or fours, caused the term
to be specially applied to them.

This fact is being recognized by
large organizations, the members of
which are now expected to call one
another by their first names.
This fact is helping to make these
organizations big successes.
The man who calls you by your
first name almost always is interest
ed in you, feels closer to you, and
if you are the right sort your are
interested in him.
The use of ones - given name
strengthens the stronger feeling,
friendship.
There are those who insist upon
what formality demands and certain
ones feel that it is not being shown
proper respect to be called by the
more intimate name by their asso-
ciates and acquaintances.
There is no use arguing with such
men. Ill.,.
They consider themselves bigger
than Roosevelt, who was pleased
that everybody called him Teddy"
And then there are a few men
so restrained in feeling every way
that the sound of too familiar use of
their given name CRATES on their
feelings. ... (
Such persons are to be pitied, for
they are losing the heart of contact.
