When the hot days come and the
air is heavy and the ponds trimming
the mud groveling roots of the water
lilies send up their shoots and eX-
pand their fiat pads On the surface.
First coppery. then cleaning dark
green, the leaves grow and expand
and last of all the buds of flowers
rise to the surface. First they open
only a little, closing again in after
noon. Then they expand more wide
~, and each day grow more full
blown until one evening the petals
fall and the fragile flower is no more.
Cow lily is the not too compli-
mentary name given to the yellow
pond lilies, about which there Is moth
ing cow-like, whatsoever, nor does
the name of spatter dock do them
more honor. ! like best the name
Of Nuphar. the Latin name. There
seems to be prejudice against the
Latin names Of plants, but often they
are more beautiful. Actaea is better
than bugbane certainly, and Pedic'
ularis than louise wort. People say
they cannot pronounce Latin names,
yet they use them all the time-rhodo-
dendron, hydrangea, chrvsanthemum.
Nymphaea is the Latin name for
the lovely white water lilies and 1t
suggests white nymphs drifting on the
Jade surfaces Of Attic ponds. Surely,
the name Is as lovely as water lily
since this is no lily at all. What lily
was ever so beautiful as the fragrant
white nymphaea with its golden heart

Mrs. Best's training began with
special studies at Columbia and at
the School of Social Work In New
York. For two years she lived at
the New York College Settlement,
doing case work for the Charity Or
canization Society, and In 1878
she was president and director of the
Neighborhood House In Westchester

was affecting women's labor and max

She was particularly we'll fitted for
this. as some years earlier she had
done volunteer Investigations for the
late Robert Valentine, an expert III
labor audts for industrial plants,
with offices in Boston. and Mrs. Best
had handled the New York end.
Because she goes directly into the
plants and finds out conditions AZ

of the problem the working women
must meet. The girls are to her
real and breathing individuals with
homes and dreams and aspirations
and not so many sets of statistics for
learned professors to draw upon tor
lecture material. Mrs. Best supplies
the statistics, but she also brings back
phrases that speak more clearly than
do the figures of this human ele'
ment. There Is. for example, an en-
tire story of the resction of the I'M
migrant to American life In the fact
that most of the people who nave
been in this country for one or two
send their daughters TO
work in offices rather than in facto'

better. And in this connection, Mrs.

other hand. working the flesh with
the fingers, kneading It. between them
with a firm motion. This strengthens
the muscles, 1t tends to scatter fabby
flesh and, therefore, makes the arm
more shapely. Any massage of the
arm should be fairly hard and the
general rule is that the fatter the arm
the harder the massage should be.
Real shapeliness comes from exercise,
golfing, swimming and tennis being
the best way to acquire really we'll
formed arms. Other exercises to be
done at home to develop the arms and
chest were given in this space not
long ago.
Many women are troubled by the
fact that the forearm is thin from the
elbow down, while the upper part of

TO the pale-faced youth. who turned

"Civilization," he said. as he turned
away, sure does get mixed up at

But he remembered. as he reached
his cabin again, a certain light of in

latter had glanced into the radio room.

was powerful. But what could he do?
No amount Of money could get out
Of Japan what Japan preferred not
to give.
He waited, however, through most
of the next day, for the reply to his
message, conscious that he was
slightly disturbed in spite Of himself.
He wondered. And he wondered still
more when he accepted the reply
from Tokyo from the same operator
who had filed his message.

The Cure Worse Than the Habit.
Mrs. w. V. p. wants to know If
have any suggestions for curing
child of biting his nails. This de-
partment carried an article on this
subject recently. but for those who
missed it would say that putting
nasty tasting medicines on child's
fingernails. especially such medicines
whose contents are unknown ana
which are designed chiefly for ones
exterior and not interior. is almost
worse than doing nothing at all.
Imagine putting salves on child's
nails to cure him of a habit? | do
wonder that even if he didn't dislike
the taste his stomach didn't rebel.
Keeping the child's nails cut trim
and smooth will do much to discour-
age the habit. and putting strips of
adhesive tape over them will make 1t
impossible for him to chew them II
the first method does not work.
