The neglige Jacket Of today Is the
bed jacket-and there is increasing
demand for these garments. / be-
lieve they have always been more in
demand in France than here-per-
haps because bedrooms are not SO
well heated as are our own and partly
because French women Of leisure
seem to be more inclined to lie in
bed-taking their breakfast coffee, or
chocolate, reading their letters. inter.
viewing servants and tradespeople,
making out shopping lists and flgur.
ing out household bills all cozily
tucked in bed.
Some bed jackets are rather too
long. They are right when they come
just to the bed covers when one sits
up in bed. They should be roomy
enough to permit of being slipped on
and off quite easily and should have
snapper, hook and eye, or some other
closing device-that is Of course I'M.

a black georgette and satin to go

not always very practical. since often
one wants a bed jacket of considerable
warmth. or one trimmed with mara
bou or light fur to give comfortable
sense Of warmth about the neck and
arms.
For quite cool weather a little bed
jacket of velvet or velveteen does
not come amiss, though some women
may prefer a more practical ma

CHAPTER III.
Rosalind Breaks the News.

The two girls stood facing each
other, Madeline tense and staring;
Rosalind. radiant. flushed, vibrant
with an inner feeling that seemed to
light up all her features.
"WeIl?" said Madeline q little
breathlessly, and it was characteristic
of her that even while she waited for
Rosalind to speak, she was conscious
of the fact that she must watch the
stove. Lamb chops were frying in an
iron skillet over the gas ring, and If
she weren't careful they would burn.

Rose, you've been fired, you've lost

Rosalind shook her head.
Nothing of the kind. It's much
more dramatic than that. I've given
up my job. I'll never be a stenog-
rapher again, never as long as I live.

The lamb chops sizzled in the pan,
and an acrid smoke drifted up from
them. Practical Madeline turned with
an exclamation and lowered the gas
flame. Her face was troubled and an
ominous feeling was clutching at her
heart. What did Rosalind mean, what
could she mean by her wild words?
And if they were true, what was she
planning to do with herself? She had

Protect the Hands.

This is the one time in all the year
when the hands must be most tenderly
and carefully protected. Later on
they'll be hardened to cold weather,
but not yet These days red. chapped,
painful hands are sure to come If you
do not look to them properly.
Protect them out of doors with
thick, loose gloves. Thin kid, so snug

quarter size larger than you usually
take will be smarter to look at, loose
gloves being more fashionable now
than tight. and will keep the hands
warm and protected. Thick capeskln
will do, too, and silk or wool lined for
very severe weather will save you
much discomfort.
Indoors, do your work with gloves
on, for washing or other housework

dishes always with rubber gloves on,
and while you are thus protected, do
whatever Scrubbing or wet work you
may have. I've found 1t a good plan
to smear the hands with lard before
putting them into the gloves, as this
feeds the skin and keeps the nails
fresh and helps with the manicure, all

GILCHRIST.

RACIAL ORiGlN-irish.
SOURcE-A given name.

It Is the custom In this country,
as it was In medieval England. to
name a child after some ancestor,
saint or prominent man. This was
also a custom among the Gaels.
Both both the Irish and the Scots
also had a custom they often followed
of naming a child with q compound
name, the meaning of which was ser
want of -" combined with the name
of the great parsonage selected. Thus
sometimes called just Patrick and
should be explained, however, that
lish for the prefix that they used. The
nearest you can come to 1t is to say
that 1t combined something Of the
meaning OF servant" follower" and
"admirer." AS a matter of fact there
were no servants In old Ireland, with
the exception, perhaps, at certain
periods. OF slaves. The clan system
developed loyal followers who served
their chiefs often in more or less OF
mental capacity, but this form OF
service was considered an honor to
be sought after. and was not under.
taken in servile manner. There was
nothing even indirectly involuntary
about It.
"Giollchriosd' was given name
which meant Servant of Christ"
Among others, a chieftain, who was
the brother of the founder Of Sean
laoch," the O'Shanly clan, bore 1t.
This "Giollchriosd" or Gilchrist, was
the founder Of the Mace liechrsest line.

My Neighbor Says:

Reading in bed or a reclining
position is bad for the eyes. 1t
puts undue strain upon muscles
already overtaXed. Don't forget
that sometimes, as in the case
of Bright's disease, an impair
ment of eyesight may be the
first apparent symptom Of dis
ease. Dimming eyesiSht may
often indicate the need of an
entire physical examination, as
well as the need of consulting a
capable occulist and being fitted
properly with glasses.
When baking meats the oven
should be very hot at first and
then the heat should be slowly
lowered to allow the cooking to
be done slowly. Keep piece of
asbestos to place between a dish
and the hottest part of the oven
when there is danger Of burning.
To wash a greasy iron or tin
pan, pour a few drops of am
monia into the pan after filling
1t with warm water. A bottle of
ammonia should always be kept
near the sink for this purpose.
t. Never use shears or heavy
iron instruments to take the top
off a milk bottle. You may
scrape splinters of glass into
the milk without even noticing
II. A hatpin is an excellent
milkcap remover.
Roll sausageS in flour before
frying. 1t will prevent break

CODY SCHOOLS ALL in
READINESS FOR THE
OPENING NEW YEAR

The Cody schools are all in
readiness for the opening on Mon
day. Barney Goff, the new janitor,
has been a busy man for several
weeks, and has the building spick
and span for the arrival of the new
enrolment.
Considerable decorating and paint
has been done in the new building,
the floors have been refinished and
oiled. The outside improvements
are much more noticeable than those
inside. A splendid lawn has been
seeded to the north and east of the
high school, and an iron fence con-
structed which will prevent driving
over the lawn as in former years.
The grounds to the south have also
been leveled and plowed. with the
idea of seeding another year to
clover and grass.
At the old school building a new
room has been equipped at the ex-
pense of several hundred dollars to
take care of the new kindergarten
class, to be added to the grades
this ear The classes are to be
shifted about to a considerable ex-
tent, that the little tots will have
the most advantageous location in
the old building. and that every pre-
caution may be had against fire
hazards.
