He spoke only once more before they

You asked me while ago to sound

SOURCE-An occupation.

German.
SOURCE-An occupation.
Here is another family name which
in one of it's forms shows the in
f1uence of the medieval English
method of forming the feminine from
a masculine noun, but which is now
obsolete. II is most interesting, too
as showing in certain of it's varia-
tions an absolutely parallel develop
ment in English and German.
Webster and Weaver are exclusive
ly English forms of the name. Weber
and Weber are both English and
German. and apparently about as
widespread in one language as the
other.
All of these names. descriptive of
the occupations of the first bearers
of them, come from the same root in
the old Teutonic tongue which is
parent both to modern German and
Saxon. 1t is the same root from
which we derive the modern English
words "weft" and web" as well as
weave. Indeed. the church and court
records of medieval England show
that the people of those days spoke
of Roger le Weber" rather than the
Weaver" The softening of the "b''
into an "f'' or "v" has occurred
only in comparatively modern times
in English, and not at all in German.
webster" is simply the medieval
English feminine for "W eber." Tn
der Norman French influence this
ending often was spelled "stre" in
stead of "ster," and 1t is from this
spelling, with the addition of SIS.
that the modern feminine "ess" or
"tress" has been developed.

I'D like to do "A play with an un-
happy ending" Gloria crossed her blue
silk knees and narrowed her somewhat
tragic eyes. Not just for the sake Of
being unhappy. you know" she went
on, but because life is poignant and
dramatic and the things people do
often end that way. To be happy for
ever and ever isn't the only thing in
the world. To be wonderfully. &C.
statically happy for a little while is
better than a perpetual stolid happi-
ness that doesn't mean anything much
even if people have to pay for their
little vital hour with years of heart
ache. oh ! would like to do such -

Perhaps one of the most difficult of
the domestic arts is that of being a
perfect guest. 1t is infinitely harder
than being hostess, to my way of
thinking. The hostess has the ad-
vantage of being on her own home
ground; she can set the pace, can
take the initiative. To the guest falls
the delicate task Of fitting in, of never
being in the way, but of taking her
place in an unfamiliar house and
household in so tactful and helpful a
fashion that she is easy to entertain
and an inspiration instead Of bur-
den.
If your hostess does her own work
and many suburban women do nova
days-yours will be the role of helper
in the most thoughtful. least discon-
certing manner. You Will need to use
your intuition to discover whether
the hostess wants you to help in the
kitchen or whether she is moaning to
herself, "If only she would go away
and let me alone until I get the din
ner cooked-or those dishes washed"
Some women work much more speed
lily and efficiently If they can be left
entirely to themselves: others well
come chatty companion and are not
the presence Of a guest.
If you know your hostess very well,
you will know just what she wants
you to do; but if you are spending
your first week end at the home of
one of your husbands business friends
you would better drop tactfully out
of sight while your hostess is engaged
in the prepa ration of meals. caring
for her children or doing the bed
room work on the upper floor. A walk
through the garden with your host.
absorption in the morning paper or a
new book will probably cause the
mistress of the house to breathe a
sigh of THANKSGIVING that she is free
to put her house in order without
feeling that she is neglecting you.
An offer to help in ways that do not
involve familiarity with the wavs of
the house Is always a graceful thing.
ARRANGING bowls of flowers on the
veranda and in the living room. in
teresting the children In a game or
story. or even offering to dust the liv-
ing room. hall and dining room will
take some small task from your hos
tess shoulders. and yet keep you
away from the parts of the house
where she is doing the humdrum
things for your comfort.
Don'ts are many! Don't follow her
around. asking II you can help or
urging her not to go to any trouble
for you. It is trouble. and she wants
TO go to the trouble for you; but she
doesn't want YOU to be aware that 1t
is trouble. Don't wander into any
rooms except the ones you are invited
into. Don't seem to be at loss what
TO do next. or wait too obviously for
YOUR hostess to make the next move
Re interested in her home. her deco
ratiye effects, her ways Of doing
things. Don't tell her Of improved
ways you have discovered or that you
