Belgian Dogs Are
 Valuable Beasts

Did you sver hear of the Belgian harnessed to light guns; many were used for dispatches, but, perhaps the greatest service they rendered was helping the sick and wounded be- cause they could go out of the trenches in and among the wounded with water and first aid equipment.
 You know the many wonderful stories of the big St. Bernard, dogs and the way in which they would travel among the many difficult passes of the Alps Dogs may be but If property cared for. can and have proven most valuable friends % man and woman and especially chil- dren.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
yX7HETHER a bride receives one
w present or several hundred, she
must write a personal acknowledgment
for each, and this must always take
the form of a cordial note and must
never be couched in formal or stereo-
typed phrases. This task of writing
gratitude letters must never be dele
gated to- another person, save In the
case of illness, when sister or other
relative or. close friend may write notes
by way of acknowledgment; and even
then the bride should, If possible, write
a personal note of gratitude as soon
as she is able to do so. The ac-
acknowledgements should never be by the
bridegroom.
There is growing feeling against
the present custom of lavish gift-giv-
ing at weddings. 1t Is not infrequently
something of an embarrassment to the
guests who feel that they must give
expensive presents, and quite as en-
barrassing to the brides, who, if they

MINNIE

THE simple little name of Minnie
= has a most devious history. 1t or
iginated away back in Teutonic myth
ology, where, according TO the story,
when creation began, the COW An
dumbla licked out of the stones a man
named Bur, who was the grandfather
of three primeval gods, Odin, Will and
We, and 1t was these three who gave
life to the first pair of human beings.
Will was the Will,of man. His name
echoes down through the ages OF
Morse mythology In various combina-
lions, which SAVIOR boldly of valhall
and prefaces many other names.
The Frank Queen Bilichilde was
really Willihilda, meaning resolute
battle. Her name was popular among
Morse maidens and even had vogue In
Teutonic countries. Wilhelm was
"made in Germany" and signified "res-
olute helmet" The feminine counter
part of this name was Wilhelmina.
Always popular in Germany, it was
adopted by England and penetrated
Holland, where the most famous mod
ern woman who bears the name is
Queen Wilhelmina, beloved of the
Dutch.
/ England found the name a trifie
cumbersome in spite of its regality
and it gradually changed under. Brit
ish influence to Wilmet. Wilmot, Nina
