THE popular saying Rats desert a

the superstition to which it is sup.

Of sailors-and of many who are not
sailors-is that when a ship is in port
and the rats suddenly swarm ashore

age. Many a ship has been held for
S0ng weeks in port wanting crew, the
cid crew having refused to reshlp be,

she vessel as she lay at her dock.
A common explanation of the super.

physical fact. ship in bad repair

and the rats desert to dryer quarters

most likely to go down if she encoun-

me if there is anything unusual about
the way 1t grows"

HATTIE

THOUGH somewhat provincial, Hat
l. tie is none the less popular as a
feminine name. 1t is a nice, comfort
able, coy sort of a name without
frills or ornamentation. 1t means
"home-rule9" though it comes orig
inally from Teutonic mythology, it has
elements Of the modern attitude toward
home. Even in their heathenism, the
guardian of the dwelling of the grave
spirits of the dead, known as Heinz
dell was regarded as the "home-
ruler"-"true to the kindred points
of heaven and home"
BY various stages, through the Ger
man Heinz, the French Henri and the
English Henry and Harry, the femI-
nine of this interesting name was
evolved in the Sixteenth century. II
made it's first appearance in France In
the house of Stuart de Aubigne. Vari-
Gus feminines of Henri were popular
in the court Of Katherine de Medlci.
In the form Of Henrietta, the name
made it's appearance in England with
the daughter Of Henri ~ of France
and it was descendants Of this good
queen who carried the name through
successive steps until 1t reached the
quaint diminutive Hattie.
Jet is Hattie's tallsmanic stone. For
her It is not a symbol Of sorrow but a
talisman against grief. Friday is her
lucky day and her lucky number.
