NINA

THOUGH Nina has a typically
= French sound, the name Is regard
ed as English. However, 1t came to
us through the French by a lengthy
process of evolution. The Hebrew
Chanaach was its earliest ource and
from this word it derived Its signii-
canoe of grace"
Through the English Hannah, 1t
came to France al Anne and wal soon
given the diminutive, Annette. AS
Nanette, 1t appeared simultaneously,
but the French love Of variety changed
the latter form to Nanon and finally
Ninon.
The beauty and fame Of Ninon de
rEnclos, superwoman and court
"vamp" in the reign of Louis XIV,
spread her name afar. 1t became al
most a synonym for charmer and the
maids Of several countries coveted 1t.
But Nin0n Is too Gallo for English
ears. so, in Its transportation across
the channel, the ending underwent a
change and Nina was the final result.
1t has enjoyed extraordinary vogue in
this country.
The diamond Is Nina's talismanlc
gem. 1t is the emblem Of fearlessness
and invincibility and promises its
wearer success in all undertakings
and freedom from misgivings. Ac-
cordlng to an old superstition, 1t en-
hances the love Of a husband for his
wife. Sunday Is Nina's lucky day
and 3 her lucky number.

Unforgotten
By GRACE E. HALL

no YOU think of me sometimes,
you who went
On an alien path ere our love grew
cold?
To the heights that you dreamed of,
have you done
Such deeds as have made you more
content
Than you were In our love of old?
you are,
And wish you had held to the other
way?
Those high-iung trails-are they all
you crave?
Do they yield the sweetness our young
love gave?
You fastened your wagon to a star
Does 1t brighten your every day?
Oh! 1 warm my heart by that youth
time fire
When the breath of the years grows
chill;
And always l wonder if you recall
That white-hot flame. when the shad-
owS fall
Do the heights suffice for your souls
desire?
Dc they warm like our first loves
thrill?
Do you think Of me sometimes, dear,
out, there,
Where the trails lead high and you
longed to go?
l could not forget il l trledi l keep
My faith with you ever, awake, asleep;
And sometimes 1 call, and it is a
prayer
Do you hear my voice on the warm
night air
Ever, when soft winds blow?

Volcano Goes on Strike.

For the first time in history, per-
haps, men are eager for a volcano to
belch forth fame and gas. The vol
cano in question is one of the largest
in the Hawaiian islands. The men who
want to see it in action are scientists.
They have Travelled a long distance
from overseas, but the volcano now
refuses to perform. The scientists are
bent on Analysing volcanic gases and
this particular volcano has poured
fourth i~ncandescent gases which they
wish to observe, and have taken with
them a spectroscope In order that they
may study the gases at long range.
Obviously 1t is not practicable to bot
tie the hot gases and SO study them In
the laboratory.

AT CROSS ROADS

CROSS roads are dangerous places.
In she Great war allied and Ger.
man soldiers alike stunned all points
where roads crossed. When a motor
truck or an ambulance or an ambu-
lance wagon neared such a point, the
driver put on full speed and rushed
past in the direction he had decided to
follow.
There was no hesitating and waver-
ing, backing and filling. This was be-
cause it was just about as dangerous
to stand at a cross roads in he combat
zone as it is to stand on a railroad
track. If you stood long enough at
the cross roads u shell would hit you.
If you stood long enough on a railroad
tracks a train would hit you.
The cross roads Of life are Just as
dangerous as were the cross roads IN
Flanders and France.
When you come to a parting or the
ways, make up your min quickly
which is the right way to go, II go.
Sooner or later you will come to a
situation where you can save yourself
a lot of trouble by departing from your
usual rule of truthfulness and telling
a lie.
That is a cross roads.
If YOU linger at 1t, wondering which
way to turn, %vacillating between the
two courses, the chances are greater
that you will take the wrong road-the
road of the lie.
Your first impulse will be to AXE the
course of truth. You will know II Is
the right road. Don't stand at the
cross roads. Go full speed down the
ronte YOU know is the right one Next
time you come to a cross ROADS WIN
the same signs displayed, it will be
easier to keep right on going.
And II you select the road OF truth
YOU will come to fewer puzzling corners
than YOU will on the road to lies. II
will be much easier to stay on the
right road than to get back to 1t.
Sometimes it is impossible to get back
The same thing will be true of every
road parting which you encounter. 10
linger there will be dangerous. To
wabble back and forth between the
two routes will mean that you are
liable to be engulfed in a disastrous
chain of circumstances before you have
made your move. 1t is just like the
soldier who stands at the cross ROADS
until q shell searches him out and Its
explosion destroys him..
The armies shelled all cross roads
NJ fraouent Intervals because they
knew that somebody was likely to be
there, either because of congestec
traffic or because of ~indecision as Il
which way to go.
Chief among your enemies are youl
own weaknesses and habits. They viii
deliberately attack you while you are
at the parting of the ways.
Do not loiter there.

He then pronounced her woo-man.
But now with folly and with pride

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
"PICNICr

n URING the early years of
the past century it was Gus
tomary for those who were in
vited to an outdoor entertain
ment to bring their own refresh
ments. A list Of what was con
sidered necessary would be made
out and passed around among
the guests, and each person
would agree to furnish a certain
portion of the repast, the name
of each article being then
crossed, or nicked, off the list.
For this reason, this form of
what the French refer to as fete
champetre became known as a
"pick-and-nick," referring to the
selection or picking of the vari-
Gus articles and the crossing
them off upon the card, and,
through the usual contraction,
the central word was dropped
and the term shortened TO pic
mic"
Though this word does not ap-
pear to have been used prior to
1902, outdoor entertainments OF
this nature were common during
the two centuries which pre-
coded. Mainwaring, in a letter
dated November %, 1913, de-
scribes a birthday party for the
Prince Of Wales, at which "every
man did bring his dish of meat"
"Sir George YOung's invention"
adds the writer, twas four huge
brawny pigs. piping hot and har-
messed with ropes Of sausages,
all tied in a monstrous bag pud-
ling"
