els. Clarice was the next step in the
evolution and named the wife of
Lorenzo de Medici This latter was
imported to England by ear and spelled
by them Clarisse. But when the great
Richardson called the heroine of his
novel Clarissa, all other forms were
abandoned. and Clarissa became the
reigning favorite of the hour.
Curiously enough, the name was re-
imported into France as Clarisse, in
imitation of Richardson-the earlier
. origin being naively overlooked. Mean
while Clarissa fourished in England,
her greatest vogue occurring during
the reign of precise literature Her
popularity here has never been dis
puted, but she is regarded as whole
some, everyday title, and her literary
ancestry has almost been forgotten.
The diamond is Clarissas talismanic
gem. 1t will bring her many admir-
ers and a successful marriage, ac-
cording to an old superstition. Thurs
day is her lucky day and her lucky
number.

Quickear looked at Softfoot, who had

were, and Softfoot looked at Quick

question. Suddenly Softfoot whispered
something to Quickear and up the tree
they both scrambled, quick as flash,
pulling the great ear muffs after them.
Then from an overhanging bough they
dropped the Magic Ear Muffs right
down on Ranny Rhino's ears.
Ranny was startled, most dreadfully
startled, but he wanted to be polite,
because he knew Cheerups was try
