The Almanac Signs - Many
grandmother firmly believe that
the only time to wean a baby is by
the almanac signs. What do you
advise about that?
MRS. L. A. r.
Answer-If the signs happen to
be right when you are weaving it is
all right to keep on weaving.
would not advise Fastening or post
poning to find the signs are right
But the truth is that the grand
mothers ring in this superstition
for the purpose of throwing a scare
into the amateur mother and keep
ing her under their influence, SO to
speak. Naturally a grand mother
doesn't like to be seen and not
heard. If history were entirely re-
liable we might find that when
grandma weaned her babies she
weaned 'em and never worried her
head about any signs.

GOOD DEEDS

XXTOMEN never receive enough
w creuit for their good deeds.
If there is anything for which too
little appreciation is shown 1t is the
devotion of women to the cause OF
kindness, love and helpfulness.
Throughout the ages the women have
sacrificed their own happiness, their
health. and sometimes their lives In
order that the children may be reared
properly and husbands may win hon
ors and financial success. Yet seldom
has history recorded the trials and
heartaches of the wives and mothers
who have been responsible for mems
success.
This is something deserving the con-
sideration of everyone who questions
the prominence women have gained
In political affairs since equal fran
chise has been acquired in the United
States. Some complain that too many
ousybodies are playing" the galleries
when they should be home looking af-
ter their children; that the new free
dom which has come to the women has
turned many of their heads until they
ire no longer the devoted mothers and
wives they once were.
In a measure some Of these crii-
rIsms may be justified. But, just the
same It remains fact that the hearts
81 women cannot be changed. Now
and then one may devote more time to
gaining publicity for herself than to
the essential woman's work she should

women as a rule becoming any less

sacrifices women have made and will

TUE ouaintest of Puritan names is
1 Deborah. The quiet Industrious
efficiency which seems to represent
puritanical standards is best represent
ed in the bee and Deborah Is the femi-
nine personiiication of that busy little
gatherer of honey, since the name
comes from verb meaning to hum
or buzz.
A perfect aroma of sanctity sur
rounds Deborah from her Biblical
source, also, for the Deborah who is
best recorded in history was the faith
full nurse of Rehekah, wife of Isaac
the Patriarch. SO lamented was De-
borah when she died that the tree be-
meath which she was buried was known
as the oak Of weeping.
Since Deborah is derived from a
word meaning to hum or buzz, the
name came, in later times, to signify
eloouent. For that reason, 1t is be-
lieyed that child christened Deborah
will be gifted with exceptional tluency
and persuasveness.
Unfortunately, Deborah's associa-

THE RIGHT THING

BURNING THE BRIDGES
BY MARY MARSHALL DUFFEE

EFEN from an entirely selfish point
- of view 1t Is always well worth
while to keep on the best possible
terms with the people.
People who live in small communi.
ties learn this lesson very quickly.
For there Is hardly person whom you
Eeet who cannot do you an injury
later on If he chooses. For instance,
there is Mrs. Smith, who, you feel,
sighted you at Mrs. Browns card party,
and Mrs. Smiths husband Is president
and chief executive of the small local
bank. Now if you attempt to punish
Mrs. Smith by neglecting to invite her
to your card party. although you In
vite all her friends, you may get a
certain sort of satisfaction out of the
independent attitude you have taken.
Later 1t Will happen that your hus-
bend, who Is starting a new enter.
prise in that community, wishes to
have the pleasantest sort of relations
with that bank. He tells you of this
and says that he would like to have
the Smiths, old friends Of his family,
come In for supper some day. 1t Is a
perfectly permissible mingllng Of SO.
cial and business relations. But by
that time the feud between You and
Mrs. Smith has deepened and deep
ened. Every one knows of 1t although
by this time you are beginning to won
der whether Mrs. Smith really meant
to snub you. She Is very blunt, any
way, and is abrupt to every one. And
Of course you cannot invite the Smiths
to supper and your husband cannot
have his relations with the banf
smoothed by pleasant social evening
| with his old friend.
But the small community is not the
only place where your social animosi
ties are apt to rise up and smite you
| When you accentuate slight lack OF
friendliness, dwell upon and cultivat,
1t, you are burning your bridges be
hind you. You make 1t next to impos
sible to re-establish the pleasant rela
tons that may be very much to you
advantage to possess later on.
