Al MANS NAME

n BUSINESS man said the other
a day that it was serious error
for a WOuld-be business man, espe-
ciaIly a salesman, to forget the name
of the unimportant little Mr.. Nobody
in-Particular from Not-Much-of-Any-
where with whom he was trying to do
business. No man likes to have you
forget his name If the man is i'm
portant and is used to receiving at
tentions then he doesn't notice your
oversight SO much, but the small man
who gets little notice in the world
feels especially sensitive about it and
is especially gratified when you go
out of your way to remember him.
Often, however, when you are intro
duced to strangers it is physically inn
possible to get their names. This is
partly due to the fact that we Amer
leans are prone to speak indistinctly.
Now the best thing to do when you
have not heard a mans name distinct
Iy is to make amends for this failure
within a short time. Ask some one
who knows the man what his name is.
Better still go to the man in question
and say: II didn't quite understand
your name Will you set me right?"
It is better to do this than to wait I'M
til you have to introduce the stranger
to some newcomers and then t have
to pause in making your introductions
to ask the newcomer what his name
is anyway.
A salesman who remembers custom
ers' names is always an asset. And
don't believe there is any special
knack- about it. It simply requires a
little attention.. Just think about the
name the first time you hear it.
Think about the name in association
with some certain feature of the one

YOU MAY NOT BELIEVE THIS
But, if True, This Young Lady Is Very
Evidently Not in the Class of
Modern "Flappers."

A country correspondent of an Indi-
ana weekly newspaper, who disclaimed
being either a pessimist or reformer
recently wrote as follows: 1.-THE other
day a man and his daughter from near
Danville, KY, passed through our town
on their way to a nearby village. They
expected to be met at the train by a
relative, but he was late, SO they had
to wait for him for four or Eve hours.
The daughter was a young woman of
seventeen, but still wore her hair in
curls. We were especially impressed
by the natural girlishness and sweet
modesty of the young woman. She
was refined, too, boil in manners and
dress. Her father apologized for her
bashfulness. There's nothing else 20
say about this little incident EXCEPT
that it is a rare nd beautiful thing to
hear a father apologize for the mod

CORNELIA

FORTUNATE is she who bears the
- name of Cornelia, which through
the centuries has been symbolic of all
that is beautiful and reverent in moth
erhood Not only has Cornelia a heri-
tage worthy of an empress, coming as
she does from the distinguished old
Roman gems of Cornelius, but her
memory is immortalfzed by Latin
legend, which makes her the mother
of the Gracchi and the heroine of one
of the most beautiful tributes to moth
erhood
Some etymo1ogists endeavor to trace
Cornelia back to the two words cornu
beIIi meaning "a war horn" but the
consensus of opinion is that she had
no existence previous to the first Wom-
an so called, who was the daughter of
Publius Cornelius Scipio Africanus /,
and the mother of the Gracchi. She
seems to have inherited from her
gallant warrior father a spirit of pure
lofty dignity which made her the high
est type Of Roman motherhood
When, according to the legend, the
matrons of the most fashionable circle
Of Roman society were gossiping over
the ancient Roman equivalent for tea
and exhibiting their gem collections
for the edifcation and envy of each
other, Cornelia alone had no glittering
display. But, summoning a slave, she
had her u beautiful children brought
to her, and, laying her haLds on the
shoulders Of the Gracchi, proudly
said "These are my jewels"
The great historians of ancient
Rome have carefully recorded the in
cident making Cornelia superior to all
the noble Roman ladies of her time,

Glass once Was Costly.

For many centuries glassmaking
was a fine art known only to few.
When the Book of Job was written
glass was. worth its weight in gold,
and the Phoenicians seem to have trad
ed glass beads as jewels among the saw
ages of northern Europe, according to
the Detroit News. 1t used TO be
thought that the ancient Egyptians a.
an early epoch anticipated the discov-
cry made by the merchants of Sidon, for
a drawing of two workmen apparent
ly engaged in glassmaking had been
discovered in tomb Of the. eleventh
dynasty. But the best authorities now
agree that the drawing represents
some other process of manufacture
The Sidonians certainly held for a
long time the monopoly in glassmak-
ing. and they spread the use of the
new material throughout the Medi-
terranean. Later the Romans became
admirable artists in glass.

Cornelia's popularity as a feminine
name throughout Europe is due to the
martyred Pope Cornelius whose relics
were brought to Compeigne by Charles
the Bald. In the Low Countries, Cor
nelius became Keetje or sometimes
K6e. Nelson is Dutch rendition OF
Cornelius.
But though Cornelia's jewels may
have been her childrens she had a tai
ismanic stone, the turquoise. It is said
to protect its wearer from the danger
attendant upon travellers and to bring
them good fortune when they see the

"DIv0RCE RING" THE LATEST
Fad Recently Adopted by Those Freed
From the Marital Tie by Court
Proceedings.

From time immemorial woman has
worn on the third finger of her left
hand a plain band of gold as a symbol
of her honored position Of w%ifehood.
And when death takes from her the
partner of her life she signifies her
loss and grief by wearing appropriate
garb.
But In what a different manne to-
day the widow of the present, that is,
the one who by the sanction of the
courts, has resigned her job as wife,
makes known to all the world her re-
newed state of single blessedness. For
the grass widow Of today has
adopted the latest of fads, the "di-
vorce ring" The jeweled symbol Of
the severance Of the marital tie takes
the place of the former gold band. 1t
is made Of gold or platinum on which
is mounted q broken Cupid's bow at
the end of which is set a jewel to rep
resent a divorce. Should the wearer
once more embark on the matrimonial
seas and again come to wreck then
another jewel is added to indicate the
second divorce, and SO on.
