DO not hesitate to contradict each other
whenever their own opinion differs
with that of the other.
Now, don't think just because your
husband doesn't rebel against your
habit of fatty contradicting him. that
he really Is insensitive to 1t. 1t Irri.
tates him, even If he doesn't seemingly
note 1t, and he would really enjoy be.
ing In your society little bit more 10
you did not have this bad habit. So
often man begins to tell some anec.
dote or incident for the entertainments
OF guest, and before he has got fairly
under way the wife comes in with !.
Now. let me tell that story. You're get.
ting l. all wrong" or swell, that.
the first time ever heard that. Won
must be dreaming" Such interrupt,ons
and contradictions are boresome to tho
guests and irritating and embnrrassIny
to the host who Is trying to tell the
story. And usually the point raised nv
the contradiction was some trivial mot.
ter that she might have let 20 unchal.
lenged. even If she did feel conyinced
that there was some discrepancy about

EVELYN

IKE so many feminine names, Eve
~ lyn comes from Aoiffe, whose
more modern equivalent was Eva. In
early times Aevin. or Evin, was occa-
sionally found in the house of Ken
nedy, but Eveleen Is by far the most
common form of both names in Ire
land.
Aveline, or Eveline. made their ap-
pearance among the Normans long be
fore the marriage of the earl of Penn
broke. Aveline was the name of the
sister of Gunnar the great-grandmCth-
er of William the Conqueror, and Ave

of the Garde Douloureuse in the "Be-

name Is Latinized In old chronicles.
married the last earl &C Lancaster and
her daughter, the heiress Avelina, or
Eveline. brought to her husband and
his sons by subsequent marriage. the
great county Of Lancaster. thus estab-
fishing the widespread power of the
Red Rose. An Eveline Elstove lived
In 1888, but, though history faithfully
chronicles her name, there Is no rec
ord of her activities or explanation
concerning the reason for her carefully
preserved memory.
The name suffered temporary
eclipse in England In the early Seven
feenth century, but was revived In an
ornamental fashion by Miss Burney's
"Evalina." Since then, its vogue has
been unquestionable, but 1t would be
difficult to say what affected influence

4 PARTY IN KITTOWN

MRS. PUSSUMS sent an invitation
AVA TO all the kittens and every
Puss in the village. for she wanted
her daughter to have the very largest
party that had ever been held in Kit
town on her birthday.
Everyone was glad to come, and,
anyway, as Pussy Pussum's father
was the one that governed the neigh
borhood, they felt bound to be pres
ent. and so all day there were great
preparations going on, all trying TO
look their best at the wonderful birth
day party. II was to be an outdoor
affair and the barn was to be used
for games, and as soon as it was
dark Mrs. Pussums and her daugh-
ter stood by the garden gate to re-
reive their guests.
They could see them coming frm
all directions. There comes Miss

MANNERS, MARRIAGE

IND it ever occur to you that man
ners have quite as much to do with
happiness in marriage as temperament,
and that many separation laid to in
compatibility was due more than to
anything else to plain bad manners on
the part of the two persons most con.
cerned?
And good manners are made up of
attention to lot of seemingly little.
trifling things. For instance, there Is
the matter of interrupting. Every
one knows this Is bad form. and most
persons guard against interrupting
mere acqualntances, associates In busi-
ness or society; but they are not so
careful about interrupting members of
their own family. And n time comes,
after you have been interrupted again
and again, when it begins to irritate
to the point Of evaporation. Then
there Is the habit Of contradicting. You
guard carefully against fatty contra.
dieting the man or woman whom you
wish favorably to Impress. yet there are
