VIOLET

THE origin of the fragrant and
l. poetic name of Violet is shrouded
in mystery. The name Violante ap-
peared in the south of France and
north of Spain and Italy early in his
tory. but there was no clue to it's
origin and apparently, like Topsy, 1T
Just crew. Etymologists with fanci-
full turn of mind have identified it
with the lovely golden violet which
was the prize of troubadours of old
in the courts of love; other authori-
ties believe that it may have been a
form of some old Latin name such as
Valentine. The Latin name for the
little purple flower that lifts its modest
head in the spring is Viola"
violante was popular as feminine
name in Spain, but France changed
her to Yolande or Yolette. An old
English form was Joletta. Scotland
however. reached out and appropriated
the name, changing it to Violet. 1t is
thought that this latest version came
through a connection of the Archers
Of the Royal Guard, or perhaps

How Camel Got His HareIip.

In "The Women of Egypt" Mrs.
Elizabeth Cooper, the author, says
that when she decided to ride camel
and he was brought to the door she
tried to make friends with him, and
continues:
81 walked around him and examined
him closely. He smiled at me with
his harelip, which, if tales are true,
he obtained legitimately. When Allah
created the first camel he was lonely
and went around moaning and groan-
ing over his fate. 1t was then that
the sour, dissatisfied look came to his
face that is a distinguishing mark Of
all camels. Allah became sorry for
him, seeing what fine disposition
was being ruined, so he sent genie
to tell him that spouse was being
created for him. The news delighted
the lonely camel so intensely that he
smiled and smiled until he split his
lip, and it has remained thus ever
since"

through Queen Mary's friend, Violet
Forbes. Certainly, the name spread
in popularity in England and Scot
land, where Violets were almost as
numerous as the Marys of the Catholic
communities of today.
Perhaps the most famous Violet of
history was LaVioletta, the young
dancer, so called by Maria Theresa,
who become the wife of David Gar
rick the brilliant English tragedian.
Viola was the form preserved by Italy
and it still reigns in undisputed popu-
Iarity there 1t gradually penetrated
England and was elevated to favor
itism through Shakspere's lovely
heroine of ''A Winters Tale"
Violet's flower is of course her
fragrant and modest namesake, the
violet. 1t signifies modesty. Her
talismanic gem is the 5loodstone,
which promises her bodily health,
guards her from deception and dis
tressing news, and preserves her
faculties. If the stone is given to her
by a lover, it will insure lasting and
sincere devotion. Thursday is her
lucky day and 5 her lucky number.

r. S. v. p.

Wilt thou not answer. man?-Shakespeare
LEW persons need to be told that
= the initials r. S. V. P. stand for the
French, "Repondez sill vous plait,
that is, ''reply if you please" But
apparently there are good many
persons who do need to be told that
when those initials are on an invita-
ton it is imperative that either regrets
or acceptances be sent within a day
or two of the receipt of the invitation
The fact that there are such people
is quite obvious to any one who has
sent out formal invitations with this
formal request for an answer, for
there are always plenty of invited
guests who come without signifying
their intention to do SO and even more
who remain away without sending
their regrets. Some persons really
seem to think that ''it is all matter
of form" They receive an invitation
to a large wedding reception, for in
stance, and notice the letters r. S. v.
p. but as they are uncertain as to
whether they really wish to go or will
be able they delay sending a reply.

say. "In big affair like that it

But it does most emphatically mat

replies come she checks them off so

to make plans for. AS her orders
ought to be in at the caterers several
DAYS in advance of the entertainment,
it is really essential that the replies
should be sent in within short time
after the receipt of the invitation.
Whether or not the letters are added
to certain invitations, a reply should
be sent; for instance, to an entertain
ment where substantial refreshments
are to be served. Thus wedding
reception or breakfast calls for a re-
ply, as does, of course, a dinner or
supper invitation. However, an invi-
tation to tea, where the refreshments
do not have to be specially prepared
for each guest, does not call for
reply. Good form in that case de
mands either your presence or a card
sent so that it will reach the hostess
on the day of the reception or tea.
There are times where it may not
seem to you that a reply is necessary
where for some reason or other your
hostess really wishes one. 1t may be
that she is sending out invitations
to a drawing room reading or musical
and that her seats are limited. She
adds r. S. V. P. to the invitations be-
cause she wishes to know quite def
nitely how many to expect. If you re
fuse it may be that some one else.
may be invited. Not to answer and
not to answer very promptly then
would be a real rudeness.
There are some persons who pro-
test against these letters r. S. V. P.
They say that it is much better to
use plain English and so they use
this expression: "The favor of an
answer is requested" This has the
obvious advantage of being in Eng
lish but the other form has the adj
vantage of being extremely brief, and
as every one knows the significance
of the letters or can quite easily learn
it, and as it is the time-honored form
to use under the circumstances, there
is no very good objection to its use.

splendor such as the evergreen lad
never beheld.
The Fairy Queen had sent the snow
fairies and Jack Frost TO dress the
Great Trees. They wore diamonds and
their long branches were powdered
with sparkling frost, and there they
stood like great kings dressed in white
and silver.
The evergreens were certain that
the next day, when the sun came out,
the Great Trees would be naked
again, but they were more wonderful
in their splendor as the sunlight fell
upon them.
And no more did the evergreens cry
"Shamel' to the Great Trees, for all
through the winter did the Fairy
Queen keep them dressed in their
sparkling clothes

GREAT BARE FACTS

TINE Great Trees in the forest stood
4 naked and bare, for Old Winter had
come and taken away their beautiful
colored dresses that Mistress Fall had
given them in place Of their pretty
summer clothes.
But the evergreen trees were still
dressed and they cried "ShameY' to
the tall bare trees as they shivered
in the winter winds.
At first the Great Trees did not
notice the evergreens and held their
poor naked heads high with pride above
their green-gowned neighbors, but it
was no use pretending, for, as the
days went by, the evergreens became

1--WE might ask the help OF the
Forest Goblins," said another tree.
"They come out on moonlight nights
before the snow comes and they may
know of some one who will help us If
they cannot"
II cannot understand why the ever
green's should be so disagreeable.
They have never been so before, I"
spoke up another tree.
"Why, I can tell you, brother" re-
piled a very tall tree. 'Those ever
green's have just grown up and they
are SO proud that they can see more
than they did last year that they are
talking about everything they see"
The first moonlight night that the
Forest COLLINS appeared the Great
Trees told them their troubles, and,
though the COLLINS said they could not
help them, they promised to see the
Elves, whose queen was friend OF
the Queen of the Fairies.
This seemed a roundabout way to
the Great Trees to get help, but there
was nothing else to be done and so
they had to wait.
The Great Trees had about given up
hope and the evergreens grew more
scornful every day, but one night,
when all was still and the wind was
cold and clustering, little fairy
alighted on the topmost branch a
great bare tree. She had ridden to
the forest on the tail of clustering
Wind without his knowing 2 thing
about it and as he passed along off
she jumped.
II have a message for you from
my queen" she whispered to Great
Tree ."The Fairy queen will help you
and she gives you her promise that
soon you shall all outshine in splendor
the evergreens that scorn YOU"
AS Old clustering Wind passed again
the fairy caught at his trailing tail
and off she went, but the Great Trees
felt happier and they waited and
watched.
Then one moonlight night, when the
evergreens looked up at the great bare
trees, their cries of "Shame!" froze
before they left their branches. For
instead of being naked and bare, the
Great Trees were clothed in gorgeous

It is the 'Tale of Two Brothers"

The story was written for the
