JEANETTE

II HOUGH originating in France,
= from where most of our saucy little
feminine names come, jeanette has
been formally naturalized and it's
birthplace is generally forgotten. 1t
means 'grace of the Lord and has
its earliest origin in the old Hebrew
Joanna, name bestowed upon the
holy woman of the Gospel.
When Joan came into fashion In
England and named the daughter OF
Edward III and other members of roy
atty, France formed jeanette in ac-
cordance with their inimical habit of
making a diminutive. Jean had al
ready been popular there and Jeanette
and Jeanne, which seem to have been
used almost interchangeable, became
instantly in vogue.
Jeanne or Jeanette of Flanders. as
she was called, was the famous hero
inc of the Henbonne, while Jeanette

APPLES AND SEEDS

MI ANY are the methods practiced
Ava today by the superstition of divi-
nation by apples, apple seeds and ap-
pie parings They are nearly all in the
nature of projects" or love-charms.
The most general of these in this
country is, perhaps, the throwing of
whole apple pairing on the floor after
swinging it three times around the
head in the belief that 1t will fall in
the shape of the initial of ones future
wife or husband. Then there is the
naming of apple seeds and divining
with them in various ways: the eating
of an apple at midnight before glass
while one holds lamp and repeats an
appropriate rhyme with the expecta-
ton of seeing ones true love peep
over ones shoulder; and the ''bobbing
for apples" on Allhalloween. Doubt
less the reader can recall many more.
The apple superstition In all its
forms has its root so far back In my
thology that its primal origin Is lost
but mystic qualities have always been
attributed to this fruit since the days
of Tammuz. Perhaps its origin was
in the fact that the apple tree is the
tree Upon which the mistletoe is most
often found and the mistletoe was al
ways regarded in antiquity as a d.
rect emanation of the gods-which is
another story"

Dean SUift Learned
Thrift From Monarch

"King William III taught me the
Dutch way Of eating asparagus" wrote
Dean Swift in his Journal to Stella"
What Dutch Williams method was we
may guess from the following story:
1t was about the time of a certain
year that Dean Swift was acting host
to his Dublin publisher, George Faux
ener. Asparagus was served and the
guests asked for second helping.
Swift, however, pointed to the others
plate and said, "Sir, first finish what Is
before you" "What!' exclaimed
Faulkener, "eat my stalks?" AYE,
sir" replied Swift, in his most i'm
perious manner; "eat your stalks, or
you will have no more. King William
Ill always eats his stalks When
relating this story Faulkener was asked
If he really did eat the stalks. To
which he replied: Eyes, certainly;
and II you had dined with Dean Swift

to eat your stalks, too l"-London Post.

Then, as his eyes travelled slowly
down, down, over about eight feet of
neck and along about ten feet more
of body and leg, he had the surprise
of his life

Then the funny head at the top of

But why doesn't he talk, instead of

probably thinks l can't hear so far

called Jack the Monkey, who was sit

Then, quick as a flash, out of

IT was so twisty and slender that it
looked as if it could wrap around
anything and tie in a bowknot.

BEARING THE CROSS
BY THOMAS ARkLE CLARK

CTF THOU cast away one cross,
I wrote Thomas attempts, "with-
out doubt thou shalt find another. and
that, perhaps, more heavy"
''If anyone would come after Me"
said the Savior of men, "let him take
up his cross and follow Me-"
Everyone has some cross to bear,
and to him who bears it, often it
seems very heavy. The back grows
weary, and the heart aches, and the
sharp edges cut into the tender flesh.
1t seems, sometimes, that any other
burden would be easier to carry than
the one that has been laid upon our
shoulders, and we would fam try an
other.
Susan McCord thought so. Her lot
in life was not an easy one. She was
left alone when she was young girl.
She earned her living by teaching, and
the salary was small, and the cost
of living high. She barely made
enough to live decently, to dress re-
specially, and to take two weeks va
cation in the summer. The future
looked pretty uncertain, for she could
save almost nothing, and she had no
relatives from whom to expect leg
acy to make her old age comfortable.
Then Sam Walton came along, and
he found Susan pleasant to look
upon. 1t was true he was thirty years
her senior, and he had few personal
charms, but he had good house and
comfortable income, and when he
asked her to marry him, it seemed as
IL good fortune and freedom from
worry had come to Susan at last, SO
she married him and moved into the
house.
He proved a rather niggardly and
exacting companion, and she became
at once little more than his slave who
toiled all day for mere living. Old
age came upon Sam pretty rapidly,
and Susan was his nurse Over and
over again she longed for her former
life of freedom. The cross she had
taken up was heavier and more gall
ing than the one she had discarded,
and there was no love on either side
to help her to carry 1t.
She looked like an old haggard
woman when Sam finally went. All
the joy and youth had gone out of
her. The cross she had been carry
ing had crushed her, and she could go
little further. She would have been
better off If she had kept on carry
ing the old one.
Sometimes as we look back upon
our lives that are going fast, we long
to go back to the crossroads where

With cheerups and The 0uIxles
ss Grace bliss Stewart

Raffy nodded his head, switched his
tail and swayed his long neck back
and forth. 1t was evident that Jacky
had told his difficulty exactly.
Cheerups was thinking very hard
indeed. Then joyfully he shouted:
why, of course, it's your tongue that
can do it. If you can't talk with it,
it ought to be good for something
Your tongue is long and slender, and
you can stretch 1t out for those leaves
1t has prehensile or grasping power,
too, like the tails of the South Ameri-
can monkeys You can pick single
leaf or even blade of grass with it.
1t can be made short or long, wide or
narrow. Now isn't that gift to be
happy about? There's another thing,
Raffy: Sometimes the trees you feed
on are rough and thorny and hurt
your tender nose, so just close your
nostrils to protect them. You can
do 1t, know"
Raffy looked delighted. He closed
his nostrils Immediately to see if he
could. Then he ran out his long
tongue and nipped off a leaf high up
in the Breadfruit tree. Then he
looked at Cheerups with eyes full of
gratitude, kicked up his heels,
switched his tail joyfully and ran off
through the Jungle.
But remember" called Cheerups
after him, that the things which are
out of reach are often no better than
those just at hand. i hope he heard
it." murmured Cheerups thoughtfully.
