The fad for naming babies by the
name Of the month in which they were
born probably brought May into vogue.
The sudden spring to fame OF April as
a feminine name is another instance
and August is SO honored by Augusta.
It is a curious fact that no other
language has an equivalent for May.
whether she is derivative of Mar
garet or a separate entity. Only the
Scotch. which evolved her by the
former theory, possess her; even eng
land had to accept her as new name
In the language.
Because of her possible dual origin,
May is the lucky possessor Of two
talismanic gems. Either the pearl Of
purity or the emerald Of prophecy will
prove lucky stone for her. The
former gives her charm and friends.
the latter intelligence, and prophetic
vision. Sunday is her lucky day and
flye her lucky number.

Office takes advantage. of the fact that
you yourself do not appear at your Of
fee until half-past nine and does not
come until that time, although you
employ her from nine o'clock each day
and really wish to have her In the Of
fee at that time.
How are you going to make these
people come on time without giving
offense?
In the first place, remember that 1t
seldom does any good to show irrita-
ton over the situation. Nor is 1t
good plan to hint at your displeasure
by looking reproachfully at the clock.
Often it is a good plal with the per-
son who works by the day merely to
ask to put the work on an hour basis.
That is, to have seven or eight-hour
day and to time the day from the
time Of arrival. This is only fair.
Moreover, it is a plan that drives the
lesson of promptness home with the
least possible argument.
However, one must always distin-
guish between kinds Of service rem
dered. It is only fair to be more
lenient about tardiness to the worker
who works especially rapidly or who
makes up through added industry for
time lost in this way.
And one thing remember. The en-
ployer takes the attitude very often
that any excuse for hardness is ex-
aggeration or fabrication. Railroads
do strike, surface cars do block and
bad weather does delay transportation.
Remember this and give the people
who work for you the benefit of a
doubt.

MAY
By MILDRED
MARSHALL

rHE youthful name Of May is
= peculiarly difficult to discuss.
There are two explanations Of its ex-
istence. Some etymologists claim that
II is the final contraction and endear-
ment OF Margaret and translate it to
mean "a pearl"
But though May Is undoubtedly one
ef the innumerabie forms of Margaret,
coming through the Scotch by stages
n evolution from Maisie and Maidie,
II is so much simpler and more logical
10 believe that May Is really one Of
the calendar names bestowed in honor
~ the fifth month Of the year. It is
the name Of springtme and blossoms

nIace Of distinction all its own. Il
