Your Home and
You
Outdoor Games for Guests.
BY HELEN KENDALL

what to do, What to do, The
neishbors whom you used to know
back in Ohio have motored out to
your little suburban place and have
landed upon you for a Saturday-to-
Monday stay. You have taken them
to the country club dance the night
before, but now Sunday morning has
dawned and you don't know what to
do with them for the day. The hus-
band doesn't play golf. and your hus-
band doesn't play tennis, so after
they have compared notes on their
favorite sports and each has failed
to convince the other that his is the
best, there is painful slump in en-
thusiasm. They drove ali day yes
terday and are going to drive all day
tomorrow. so they don't care to do
more than see the bank building. the
new war memorial and the First
Presbyterian Church. What are you
going to do with them all day?
Well. let me tell you what some
friends of mine have done to meet

side the track would not hold his
scent well. So before starting off
he ran back and forth and round and
round in that sand, and then finally
made as long a jump as he could on
to one side on the bank and hurried
away. hot, tired and dusty. He knew
that Bowser would find his trail, but
he was sure that il would take him
some time and this would give him
a chance to get far ahead.
1t did take Bowser some time to
find Reddy'S trail. Gou see. he didn
know on which side Reddy had left
the railroad track II was sandy on
both sides and that sand dldnt hold
the scent well Besides, the train in
passing had whrled up the sand and
destroyed what little scent there was
close to the track. So Bowser first
made the mistake of hunting on the
wrong side of the railroad track.
This took him some time. for Bowser
worked slowly and carefully. What
ever he does he does thoroughly. At
last he was sure that Reddy had not
left the track on that side. At once
he went over to the other side and
there once more took up his patient
search. once in awhile his wonder
ful nose caught just A faint scent
and this told him that Reddy had
been there. Patiently he ran back
and forth. this way and that. until
at last he reached the top of the
bank There he circled around and
finally found Reddy's trail. Bow.
WOW. WOW, wow" roared Bowscr, and
WAS off again, running with his nose
to the ground.
Now this delay had given RedGy
the chance he so much needed to get
we'll ahead and to plan some new
trick TO fool Bowser. As he hurried
on Reddy kept his eyes open for some
means of breaking his trail. At last
he came to the trunk of tree which
had fallen in some great wind storm
and had lodged against another tree
which had stood some distance away.
In an instant Reddy saw the chance
he had been looking for. He ran
round and round and back and forth
lust beneath the leaning trunk of
that fallen tree. so as to mix up ms
trail. Then he leaped up on that
leaning truck at as high point as
he could reach. Carefully he walked
up that leaning trunk until he reach
ed the tree against which it lodged
This was a big hemlock tree, with
great branches on the lower part
VERY carefully Reddy climbed to one
of these branches and sat down close
TO the trunk. He was about eight
feet from the ground and the
branches below hid him somewhat
He felt it in his bones that this
time his wits had served him we'll.

The Crime of Being Too Young.

T was late afternoon on the Lind

Lindsay was leaning back against
the side of her Bar Harbor ham
mock trying not to make a face over
the bitterest coffee that she had ever
tried to swallow. She had been so
limp from a nasty blow on her temple
when Richard Slocum had brought her
home from the country club earlier in
the afternoon that she had momen-
tarily lost her grip upon her emotions
and let him see that she was worrying.
But she had stopped herself from max
ing any silly condolences through sheer
grit. and suggested that If she only had
a good stiff drink she'd be quite all
right
only coffee is the stiffest drink our
pantry boasts" she had added whim-
scally and leaned back to rest while
the bachelor Richard had struggled
nearly an hour in laundering attempt
TO achieve drnkable coffee. And she
had meekly swallowed the aspirin that
he had suggested

BELL.

vARiATIoNs-eeIIot eeIIotson, Bel
son, Abel.
RACIAL oRIGIN-MiddIe English.
SoURcE-A given name; also locality.
The surname Bell is a very common
one in this country as well as in Eng
land. And there is a reason. 1t is a
family name which traces back TO two
sources. each of which was of such a
nature as to make the adoption of the
name by hundreds of different families
in different sections of England a nat
ural development.
One of these sources is the name Isa-
bella, another form of Elizabeth. Eliza
beth. however. was not introduced into
England until several hundred years
later, too late to leave any impression
as a family name Isabella was brought
into England and became popular at a
period following the Norman conquest.
1t was contracted into Bella. Bell. Bellot
and Belief, just as Elizabeth became
Betty and Bessie.
Women's names have given rise to a
great many family names among the
English, but while undoubtedly the ex-
PLANTATION in some cases was that OF
illegitimacy, it was by no means the
only one. Often a woman would be
better known, or better liked. than her
husband, or possibly a widow with a
posthumods child. and you must re-
member that surnames originated on
the lips Of neighbors rather than those
who bore them.
The other source of the name is in
the word "bell." With education scan-
ty, traders as well as innkeepers used
picture signs above their doors instead
of lettered ones. The user Of such g
sign would become known first as Peter
atte (at the) Bell, and the surname in
time would shorten to ABEL, and to
Abel or Bell. Abels. however, do not
all trace back to this source.

Reddy's Wit Serves Him Well
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS.
Blest is he with ready wit,
And nerve enough to follow it.


And nerve enough to follow it.
.-Reddy Fox.
Reddy Fox was discouraged. Yes,
sir. he was discouraged. There was
Bowser the Hound coming along over
that railroad bridge just as If there
had been no train along just min
ute before. He hadn't even had q
fright from that train, and that made
Reddy's disappointment all the great
er. He had planned that sharp trick
at the railroad bridge to get Bowser
in the middle of the bridge just as
that train would catch him there.
He had meant that Bowser should
either be hit by that train or forced
to jump from the bridge into the
water. He had thought that Bowser
might be killed. He had been sure
that, at least, Bowser would be given
a terrible fright.
But wise Bowser had seen the train
and had calmly sat down at one side
to wait for it to pass. So instead OF
Bowser being given a fright it was
Reddy himself who had barely es-
capped. Now here was Bowser COM
ing to continue the hunt.
Reddy knew that that dry sand be-
