about his lack of tidiness! Why. the

its brilliancy when Willie becomes a
regular visitor and drops his COM

because he was enthraIled with the
delight Of new situation. His ap-
petite for novelty was satisfied and
he did not need to raise a rumpus to
escape boredom.
Come to think of it. wouldn't we all

does rub OFF the varn.sh of politeness
But suppose We took vacations from
each other now and then and went
visiting? Not long visits which would
disturb the domestic program, but
little excursions into other lives and
interests.
How about introducing more
strangers into our homes and more
new and strange ideas? Or stopping
to realize that we all are truly
strangers one to another, from the
day of our birth to our death, and
showing due consideration for that
strangeness in each other? Granting
the other chap more elbow room and
being granted more elbow room in re-

does little Willie when he pays a

Are Men Vain =?

You dare to say that men aren't
vain? Then peek into store windows,
please. where flne displays will make
it plain, that men are vain from head
to knees! Here are silk shirts In
wondrous style. The robes of queens
no finer are; smokers of velvet, deep
rich pile. Pajamas that a movie
star might wear to make an audience
gasp are sold each day to just mere
men, and gloves that have a jeweled
clasp are worn by dressy Dick and
Ben. And as for collars and for ties.
1 know q chap who buys and buys
so many new ones at such rate. his
gas and coal bills have to walt! Men
sneer a lot at women's dress. I'd
like right here to say with stress
that men are still more vain. Look
at the man with gloves and spats and
twenty different kinds of hats. for
sunshine and for rain-whose spats
and ties both harmonic so nicely
with the big blue eyes. who stands
for hours before q glass and twirls
his mustache-silly ass! .

In this country today we pay little
attention to trees, so little indeed that
the average person. particularly
among the city dwellers. does not
know one from another. This was
not the case in medieval and early
modern times, when trees were widely
used as landmarks in establishing
locations.
All of the family names in this list
belong to the geographical class, and
they are all derived from the name of
a tree, the linden. the name Of which
is now and was in the middle ages.
when family names were' formed.
virtually the same in both English
and German.
It is impossible to determine
definitely in the cases of most of the
family names given in the foregoing
whether they are German or English.
The name Lindstrom Is certainly Ger
man. meaning ''lindstream," that is, a
stream or river bordered by linden
trees. Dwellers in such q locality
often were known by such q name as
Hans Of the Lindenstream, the
prefixed words being dropped in Ger
man as they have in similar cir
cumstances in English.
Lindley IL an English name formed
from the name of the tree and "ley.'
an old English word for shelter" "
Lynd is the closest We have to the old
English spelling of the name of the
tree. Lynn in some cases. when it is
not Celtic, is variation of this
spelling.
There is evidence that Lind, Linde-
man and Linden are Of both Dn9lish
and German Derivation.

On the other Fairgrounds the girls
are not engaging in any definite sports
