GRACE

THE origin of the name of Grace
= is curious and somewhat imagina-
tive. Several versions OF it's real der
iyation may be eliminated and the
contention that it really comes from
the Latin "gratia,' meaning favor or
bounty, accepted. 1t is through this
Interpretation that the Greek Chart
ties have come down to us as the
three Graces. Gratia was used by
early italian writer's for divine favor.
hence the theological meaning of
grace.
The English name Grace is intended
as the abstract theological term and
was adopted at the time of the
Reformation. Its continuation is
thought to be due to its popularity
with the Irish, who think that it re-
sembles Grains Cove). Grace and
Oracle are both very popular in Eng
land and Ireland. Spain, likewise,
has Engracia in honor of q maiden
cruelty tortured to death al Zaragoya
in 304, and Italy knows Graycella
through Lamartine's nretty romances.
The most celebrated Grace was

/ To each rosebud went a goblin.
First he took the wand from the sleep
ing fairy and tucked it under one arm.
Then he pulled at the rosebud, and
amid the falling rose petals each little
fairy fell out on the ground.
The five bad COLLINS jumped and
away they ran before the bewildered
little fairies could pick themselves
up or know just what had happened.
Five little fairies jumped up and
rubbed their sleepy eyes, but it was
only a second before they discovered
that their wands were gone.
ut was the COLLINS" said one.
'They must have wandered into the
garden and climbed the rose bush and
carried off our wands."
"Look, sisters" said another little
fairy chose bad COLLINS came here
to do mischief. Look at the pretty
flowers that were tinted. Every one
has lost a petal.
'"They came to destroy our work
and happened to find us asleep, so
they stole our wands. We must hurry
to the dell and tell the Queen what
has happened"
When the Fairy Queen heard their
story she did not scold. She smiled
and said: "Wait and see what hap
pens. You shall have your wands
this very night, promise you. Now
run along and join in the dance with
your sisters"
How long the merrymaking of the
fairies had been going on no one could
tell, but long before daylight streaked
the sky five unhappy looking COLLINS
came slowly into the dell and made
their way to the throne of the Queen.
Under one arm each held the wand
he had stolen just as he carried it
away from the rose bush. They had
not been able to do anything else, for
when they tried to take the wand
from under their arm each goblin
found he could not move it or his arm
either
All of their brother COLLINS tugged
and pulled at the wands, trying to
help them. But it was of no use, the
arm and wand could not be moved, so
they had to come to the Fairy Queen
for help.
Very shamefaced did those five
naughty COLLINS look as they APP
preached the Queen; they did not have
| to tell her why they had come. She
gently touched each arm that held the
wand and down fell the wand and
away scampered those five COLLINS so
fast that their heels looked like tiny
pebbles tossing up and down.
They did not even thank the Queen.

FIVE BAD COLLINS

ONCE in a garden, long, long ago,
there grew rose bush, and in
those days, so the fairies say, the rose
bush had no thorn to prick fingers.
And the fairies say it never would
have had thorns if something had not
happened which made it necessary for
the protection of the little fairies that
every pretty rose bush should have
thorns.
In this long-ago garden one night
five dainty little fairies, after they had
finished their work tinting the flowers,
crept into the half-opened buds of i've
roses and went to sleep.
They did not intend to sleep very
long, just long enough to rest before
joining their sister fairies and their
Queen in the dell for midnight frolic.
But the little fairies were tired and
they did not wake up at the magic
hour when all the little magic folk
are abroad.
Out of their rocky doorways at the
midnight hour tumbled all the COB
Inns, bent on mischief as they always
are, and five Of them ran out of the
woods into the road, and, finding a
nice smooth path made by cart
wheel, those five naughty COLLINS fol
lowed it.
The wheel path led straight to the
garden, right up to the gate and wher

'EThis Is the Flower Garden and the
Uniting Fairies Have Been Here"

the COLLINS reached the end of the
path they tumbled into the garden.
"Oh," exclaimed one little goblin
this is a flower garden and the tint
ing fairies have been here. Let's spoil
every flower that has been colored
The Queen will be sure to see it and
scold them"
To every flower they went and
pulled off a petal and, of course, they
came to the rose bush where the five
little fairies were fast asleep.
The goblin that had climbed the
rose bush where he discovered the
sleeping fairies quickly scrambled
down and ran to tell his brothers.
"They are fast asleep and we will
hide their wands," he said
mo, let us carry them off to our
home and change the stones into
things we want" said another.
"Yes," whispered the others; but
while they were climbing the rose
bush to get the .wands one goblin whis-
pered it would be great sport to pull
the rosebuds apart and let the fairies
tumble out.

BUILD CAVES UNDER HOMES
Arabians Construct Underground
Chambers in the Holy City of
Nejef-Refuge for Criminals.

Out in the Arabian desert, five days
by caravan from Bagdad stands the
holy city of Nejef, and in the whole of
the town of almost 100000 persons
there is hardly house with windows.
Also, beneath many homes are i'm
mense caves, hewn out of the lime
stone that underlies the desert round
about. Many of these caves are built
one room below the other, some of the
lower apartments being 100 feet be-
low the street level.
These underground chambers are
reached by winding stairways, also
hewn from the rock. They Were orig
finally built to provide refuge from
the intense heat of midsummer, but in
many instances they have now become
a refuge for Arab criminals and rob-
bers who dwell at Nejef and prey on
the caravans of Mecca pilgrims.
Nejef itself is a great pilgrim city,
and each year thousands of devotees
from Persia and Turkestan make the
Journey to the holy Nejef. bringing

All they thought of was getting away
from the fairy dell and locking them
selves in their rocky homes.
But the roses had to be thought of,
now the wands were safe, for the
fairies always used them to sleep in
when they were away from home. So
the Queen that very night started off
in her pearl coach with its white mice
horses, visited all the rose bushes and
placed thorns on every one.
And now you know why the sweet
roses have thorns on their stems-to
keep the COLLINS from disturbing the
fairies if they happen to fall asleep
in a rosy bed. For I am certain you
will agree that once goblin pricked
his finger with sharp thorn he would
scamper away and never touch a rose
bush again.
