Fox, who was sitting by the fireplace,
'Mr. Dog or Mr. Man will surely see
you. You need a white coat like your

"Oh, Grandpa, do tell me about my

foxes had white coats. Where do they

ooh, they live miles and miles away
from around here" answered Grand
pa FOX, ''up in the Arctic regions of

"Chey are called the Blue Foxes or
White Foxes, and they are about the
same size that we are when they are
grown
'But, Grandpa, how can they have
two names?" asked Reddy. "Are they
blue and white?"
"Only in the winter time does your
Arctic cousin put on his white coat, !"
said Grandpa. All the rest of the year
he is sort Of a blush gray. Some Of
the family wear nearly all of this
color and others have upper parts Of
their body brown, with whitish fur
on their stomachs. but in the winter
every one puts on all-white coats SO

whats in a Name?"
By MILDRED MARSHALL
Facts about your name; its history; mean
ing; whence 1t was derived; significance;

GERALDINE


MORSE mythology is filled with
~ valiant names which are the fore
runners of many Of our feminine
proper names in current use today.
Geraldine is one such and her history
dates back to the days when Valkyries
drove their splendid chariots over the
fields of conflict in the land Of the
midnight sun. 1t means spear
power" thus making its fortunate
possessor one of tle company of battle
maids so honored by those of Sean
dinavian blood.
From Norway and Sweden, the fore
runner of Geraldine made it's appear
ance among the Anglo-Saxons as st.
Gerhold, which was straightWay
changed to Gerald and because of the
sanity reputation of its first bearer
the masculine name became enormous
ly popular in England, where it is
still a favorite in the aristocratlc
class. "Morte d'Arthur" added to the
vogue of Gerald, since Gareth, or Gar
ret, Knight of the Round Table, was
said to be the equivalent for Gerald.
Some etymologists disagree with this
contention.
The first Geraldine was Lady Eliza
beth Fitzgerald, daughter of the
famous Maurice Fitzgerald, whom
Surrey made the heroine of his poetry
under the title of Fair Geraldine.
Geraldine's talismanic gem is the
emerald which is said to give the
wearer such intuitivc powers that she
may be able to foretell events. 1t
auickens the intelligence and sharpens
the wits. but is an enemy to passion.
Wednesday is Geraldine's lucky day
and 8 her lucky r'lmber. The haW-
thorne is her flower.

"Blazes.' .

Blazes In English and American
slang, a euphemism for the internal re-
gions, from the flames which theolo-
gians are used to describe. This is ev-
identity the meaning in expressions
like Go to blazes.'' But in what looks
to first sight like an identical express
sion, Drunk as blazes,' another ETY.
mology has been suggested, making it
corruption of Blaisers or Blazers, i.

procession in honor of the good bishop

English wool-combers. The uniform

they can hunt for food with perfect
safety"
IF had coat like that ] could so
out and Mr. Dog would not see me
running across the white fields,' said
Reddy.
But Grandpa Fox was nodding. He
did not hear what little Reddy said
and as there was no one about to stop
him, Reddy Fox thought he would try
an idea he had for making a white
coat, for he very much wanted a nice
chicken for his dinner.
At noontime he knew the hens
and chickens would be let out of
their house up at the farm for dim
ner, and he made up his mind to try
to get one before the farmer or Mr..
Dog saw him.
"Flour Isl white" thought Reddy. Il
could jump into the flour barrel and
get my coat thickly covered with
white and then off I can run and be
back before father or mother finds it
out, and / guess they will be pleased
when / bring home chicken or fat
hen for dinner.
Grandpa Fox dozed and Reddy ran
to the pantry to carry out his plan
and in a little while out he came so
white his own mother would not have
known him. Out of the house and
across the fields he went, arriving at
the farm just as the poultry came out
OF their house for dinner.
Reddy took care to keep close to the
