WARD.
VARlATlON-MacWard
RACIAL ORIGIN-Irish.
SOURCE-A nickname.

The family name of Ward, as origi-
mating from English and Teutonic
sources, already has been explained as
having been descriptive of an occupa-
tion or Office in the first use, the
ward" or warden being a custo-
dian.
But the name does not always trace
back to an English source. In many
cases 1t goes straight back to the
name of one of the Irish clans. And
this name, strangely enough for an
irish family or clan name, was
founded on nickname.
The Gaels of Scotland built many of
their clan names upon nicknames, but
though Ireland has always been a
country of nicknames, even from the
earliest times, it is remarkable how
few exceptions there are to the
straight building of the clan name on
a given name.
In this case the clan was founded
by one "Owen Mac-An- Bhaird," as
nearly as can be ascertained from his
torical comparisons, somewhere about
the year 1900 Mac An Bhaird''
means "son of the bard.' In England
he would have been known as "Owen
Bardson," If the word bard" had
been taken into the English language
then.
In Anglicizing the word bard" the
Gaelic spelling has been retained
rather than the pronunciation, while
in the family name Ward you get
more of the correct Irish pronuncia-
ton, with the spelling changed to
suit.

long, rather slim shape in the water.
1t moved slowly toward the raft on
which Danny was sitting. 1t came
along side and stopped. 1t was as
long as the board on which Danny sat.
Danny almost squealed out. He could
feel his hair beginning to stand right
along his back. 1t was a big pickerel,
which you know is one kind Of fish,
and Danny knew that that pickerel
would have made no trouble at all of
swallowing him whole
Somehow the thought of being
caught by that fish with it's great
mouth full of sharp teeth was ever
so much worse than the thought of
being caught by Reddy Fox or Old Man
Coyote or Billy Mink or Redtail the
Hawk. Probably it seems worse be-
cause it was a new thought. Never
before had Danny seen a big pickerel
so close at hand. Just looking at him
gave him little chilly, creepy feelings
all over.

myself in the water a half a second

did l come over here to the Smiling
Pool for, anyway? First it was Mr..
Blacksnake; then it was Longlegs the
Heron; then it was Billy Mink; now
1t is this big fish. I wonder who'll
come along next with an appetite for
Meadow Mouse. Why is it that a fell
low doesn't know when he is well off?

drops of any good household anti
septic should be added. and about
teaspoonful of toilet water to an eight
ounce bottle.
When washing the hair remember
you must never use a cake Of soap di-
rectly on the hair. The soap at once
combines with the grease in the hair
and forms a hard whitish sticky sub
stance that is almost impossible to
rinse off. A liquid form of soap does
not do this.
Once the hair is thoroughly clean
rinsing is easy. hot rinse, a warm
rinse, a cool and finally a cold one
should leave the hair clean, fluffy and
glossy. Be sure you wash your
brushes and combs thoroughly at the
time you shampoo, otherwise you only
brush old dirt back into the hair and
the hair will go dull again. If your
hair is not normally glossy dry it by
rolling the head in a spongy old bath
towel and squeezing out as much
water as you can that way. Then
massage the scalp with the finger tips
as it dries. This stimulates the oil

SUB ROSA
BY MIMI.
Waking Him Up.

Judging from some of the letters
receive, the young men Of America
must be rather unappreciative
bunch of sweethearts.
Hardly day goes by that / don't
get a wall from some sad young thing
who tells me that while she knows
he loves her dearly, and is always
true to her still he seems to
take her so for granted, and he never
says nice things to her or babies her
or seems anxious to name the Great
Date when the wedding bells will
start doing a little heavy work.
It's one of the troublesome things
about representative of the other
sex that as soonas he's got the girl
nicely dated up for weeks to come.
with no chance for another man TO
wedge his way In, and no possibility
of her falling TO love him, the Proud
Male becomes Indifferent, bored, and
thoroughly prosaic and dull about
the whole thing. That is-he does
If the girl let's him.
Some girls, however, avoid this ter
rible fate by playing a sort of game
with their men by keeping
the unappreciative young fellow
OF course, If boy knows that his
particular girl is sitting at home,
reading to mother every single eve
ming he isn't with her, there's not
much kick for him in being told that
she's true to him. He knows she g
true to him.
Also, If he is aware that she fatty
refuses to allow any other boys TO
come and see her, or take her to the
| movies or dance four or FIVE times
with her of an evening he's not
palpitating with excitement at the
fhnIIUht 1xrI ha hae, ,.Jyr
If she goes out of her way to tell
him about the old friend she met to-
day, and how he simply insisted on
paying for her lunch and she
hopes her sweetheart won't misunder-
stand. and think she was cheating
well, her sweetheart can be pretty
certain that she's never had an un-
faithful thought in her life, and so
he won't worry about making sure
she still loves him.
Whereas If she'd just firted a bit
with other boys-if she'd suddenly
shown a brand-new interest in some
man who had never appealed to her
before-if she would suddenly become
mysterious about the way in which
she spent the other evenings of the
week when she didn't see hinl-then
she'd be giving him something TO
think about.
The result of his thinking would
probably be that he'd decide little
intensive courtship had better be
done. II he feels that she's slipping
away from him, don't doubt for a
minute that he'll brush up all his old
pretty speeches, and his pet phrases
and become quite the eager young
beau he used to be.
Half of these unconscious Romeos
just need waking up. Whether you
accomplish this with a new man, or
new way Of spending your evenings
when you are not with him, or just
a new dress Is up TO you.
Only you've got to apply an accel-
Grafton II you want him to snap out
of II.

A Distinctive Garden.

There is one kind Of garden, Mr..
Burbank, that ] have thought of more
than once during these Midsummer
days, and l should be glad to have
some suggestions from you about
making 1t. How shall we plant a
green garden?" was a question L put
TO Mr.. Burbank one day.
"a green garden sounds like an
ordinary garden with a lawn, but l
think | know what you mean" was
his reply.
"A lawn is indeed a green garden,
but IL is only one type, and the real
green garden is a place of cool, quiet
shadings of green with grass or trail
ing plants covering the ground here
and there, and low shrubs disposed
about in the foreground with trees
beyond-is that your vision of a green
garden?" he then asked.
''Yes-just that" / said. But
when 1t is completed, some one will
come in and say: why don't you lay
out some flower beds and make a
garden?'"
You need not Danish flowers en-
tirely, and If they insist on being in
the picture, they might be in pots and
tubs, TO be carried out when their
blooming time Is over.
You will have plenty of color from
the shrubs and trees, because aside
from their blossoms which may be Sc
lected to strike the hour in every
month of the year, you will get a
beautiful range of color in the green
foliage, and will wonder why you
never saw SO many shades of green
before.
Still other notes of color will come
in the Autumn, when some of the
shrubs and leaves turn to russet and
