JOY

Toy is one of the glad" names. It
J stands alone as an abstract virtue,
popular in this Po.lyanna-ish era.
But It has an interesting genealogical
history as well. 1t comes from the
Greek word stiovai," Of which the
Latin equivalent is jocus, the French
joie, and the English joy.
From jocus came the Armorican
prince, Jodocus, belonging to a family
which migrated from Wales. He re-
fused the sovereignty of Brittany and
became hermit in Ponthieu, where
he is now remembered as st. jesse.
The feminine of his name, Jodoca, is
still popular in Wales. England
formed from 1t Jocosa, which straight
way became Joyce.
The latter form is much used in
England today, as well as in this
country, where its contraction is gen.
orally Joy, despite the fact that Joy
has the right to separate existence.
The French Jocelyn is graceful and
musical equivalent adopted by US, and
in popular usage.
The Turquoise is joys talismanic
stone. 1t is the symbol of prosperity,
though it is the simplest of stones

Have You This Habit?
By Margaret Morrison
DAISY NUDGE

MR.. CABoTsoN inspired awe
49, among his subordinates in the
big main Office of the City Electric
company, and Daisy Nudge trembled
in her boots when she was assigned to
act as Mr.. Cabotson's special stenog-
rapher. He did not choose to see her
for at least five minutes when she re-
ported the first morning at his desk,
and as the minutes increased she be-
came more nervous His letters fin
ished, he suddenly asked her whether
she used blue or black ink. Daisy,
feeling at last on firm ground, replied
that she had both kinds of ribbon
Whereupon Mr.. Cabotson swung round
with the information that he was
sorry to hear that-he always insisted
on black. Daisy had the confused
feeling Of having failed a test without
quite knowing why, but she also be-
gan to see wherein lay Mr.. Cabotson's
power to intimidate
When he passed through the rows
of clerks in the morning, Daisy no
ticed that he would look at one or an
other so that a greeting was expected,
and then, when the clerk had his face
all ready to smile, pass by in stony
silence. So he struck terror into timid
hearts. Another Cabotson method was
to pit one clerk against another, and
so Daisy determined to try little
competition game on her own account.
When another officials stenographer
left one day, Daisy saw to 1t that her
quickness in taking dictation should
seem very desirable to him, and when
she was asked to fill the vacant posi-
ton, she enjoyed watching Mr.. Ca
botson scramble. On q certain morn
ing she was late to her work, and fol-
lowing another Cabotson method of
getting in first when a complaint was
imminent, she quickly deprecated the
worn-out condition of the typewriter
she was using. She did not get new
machine, but nothing was said about
her hardness.
In short, the Office began to see
that "Cabotson was eating out of
Daisy Mudge's hand" The spell was
broken, and his prestige was on the
wane. No one bothered when he
scolded any more; the Office ceased to
look from the corners of its eyes when
he came in the morning. Cabotson
stock was going down, down, down.
The habit Of depending on methods
instead of dealing straightforwardiy
is a two-edged sword. Daisy Nudge
had discovered the habit and turned
it against Mr. Cabotson himself.

LITTLE WOOD MOUSE

T TITLE WOOD MOUSE was not
- considered a particularly wise
creature, but one night he proved to
those in the woods who heard what ne
said to Little Breeze that he was a
very wise little mouse.
Little Wood Mouse was a akened
from his nap by the sound of weeping
close to his house, so he crept out
cautiously and peeped about. 1T is Lit
tie Breeze" he said. "Now, what in
the world can be the matter? If l
could roam about as fearlessly as Lit
tie Breeze I am certain | should not
weep"
Little Wood Mouse was thinking out
loud, and Little Breeze hea- him.
"Oh, you think you would not weep if
you were l." it said "Well, I can tell
you I am very unhappy.

SWEEPING

Fy~HAT it is bad luck to sweep the
L house after dark Is superstition
very common in the South and is not
unknown In the North. In some of
the New England seaports sailors
ashore do not like their friends to
sweep after dark, saying that If they
do their wages will be swept away by
sickness or other misfortune.
This superstition is born of sugges-
ton by association. In all well-regu-
lated households the sweeping is not
put off until the day has closed. 1t is
only the pressure of too many urgent
duties, or sheer laziness, which causes
the housewife to WELD her broom

of President Coolidge on April %, in
which the American executive said it
appeared impracticable under the pres
ent conditions to attempt any further
move in the way Of limitation of arm
aments.
sYhe attitude we have always taken,
and with which am glad to think
President Coolidge is in agreement, is
that before discussing the limitation
of armament we first must remove all

litical situation of Europe" Mr.. Mac
