NOTTINGHAM
RACIAL ORlGiN-EneIish.
SOURCE-A locality.

Though the family name of Noting
ham is not infrequently met with. it
is probably more widely known to the
world at large as a place name, the
name of the city which is the center
Of England's lace industry.
Its use as a family name is due to
the fact that in the middle ages, as
today. men moved about from place
to place. and a reference to the place
from which an individual had come
was n most natural method of distin-
gushing him from others who bore
the same given name. In the course
OF time the de" which so often pre-
ceded these names meaning of or
from" was dropped. incidentally,
it is to be noted that the French de"
comes from the old Latin de" the
primary meaning of which was
from; that the German ''von.'
which is equivalent to both the Eng
lish "of" and from" has more the
meaning of the latter; and finally
that our own word 'of" often means
FROM" as for instance when we say,
'.he comes of German stock.D
The place name originally bore an
initial IS" and was compounded of
the Saxon tribal name "SnottingaS"
and the word ham" meaning the set
tlement of the followers of a chief
tain named probably "Snoda" or
"Snota," this point being one which
is still in doubt.

BEDTIME STORIES
BY THORNTON
IT. BU RCESS

You see, to Nanny u young fruit tree
was no different from any other
young tree; that is to say. she didn t
know why she shouldn't eat the bark
of a young fruit tree if she could eat
the bark of young trees or bushes
growing wild.
OF course, after a bit Nanny began
to wonder what had become of Danny
Meadow Mouse. She was lonesome.
She wanted Danny. He'll never
know where I am thought Nanny.
him. l don't believe she did. Danny
is smart. He has fooled Black Pussy
before and | guess he has fooled her
again. But l would like to know
where he is"
SO Nanny dug her way up and
climbed out on the crust 10 look
about. She couldn't look far because
it was just dusk. 1t was the hour
that mice like to move about and
Nanny had it in mind to go back and
look for Danny. She was sitting close
TO the trunk of a young fruit tree,
trying to make up her mind if it was
safe to go look for Danny.
Il believe it is she said to herself
That bird that tried to catch me this
afternoon probably has gone to bed.
1 don't believe Black Pussy is around
now. I believe I'll run back right
away to look for Danny"
And just as she thought this or
said 1t to herself she heard a sound
right up over her head that made her
hold her breath. 1t was a queer little
snap. Nanny didn't have to be told
what it was. She had heard it be-
fore. She wished now that she was
safely under the crust. If she could
have stopped the beating of her heart
she would have. You see, she knew
that right up over her head in that
very tree under which she was sitting
was SpoOky the Screech Owl. She
knew that that swapping sound was
made by SpoOky with his bill
Nanny shivered and shivered and
shook all over, but aside from that
shaking she didn't move. She knew
that as long as she didn't move
Spooky's big eyes probably would not
see her. But she knew that if she
moved ever so little those big eyes
very likely would see her.
And so Nanny Meadow Mouse sat
on the snow close to the trunk of the
tree, and up above her in the top of
the tree sat Spooky the Screech Owl
And there they sat, and sat, and sat,
for the longest time. One was want
ing with all his might fat mouse
for dinner. The other was wanting
with all her might to keep from being
that dinner.

Clues to Character
Musically Inclined.
BY J. O. ABERNETHY.

Most all normal human beings have
an appreciation of music. But it is not
every one who can learn to play an in
strument or sing we'll enough to sway
an audlence-no matter how much
they study or practice. Signs of the
faculty of music are plainly noticeable
in children at the ages from to IL.
If the faculty is large the child should
be given a musical education. If it is
small it is unnecessary to spend time
and money trying to make a great
musician out of him or her. The
faculty of music is about an inch
above the top of the ears on each side
of the head slightly forward toward
the eye. When large, it gives breadth
and fullneSS to the temple region
When extremely large it seems to
bulge and broaden the sides of the
head abnOrmany.
Study the heads of all great musi-
clans who are world famous and you
Will see instantly the great width and
fullness of their side heads.

The benefiCent planetary aspects
that prevail today continue in force
until noon tomorrow. They then
abruptly change. and become over
cast, until, at about sunset. they are
clearly adverse. Any effort based on
Initiative and originality should be
postponed to some more prrpitious
occasion, and only tasks that involve
no departure from routine should re-
celVe your attention. The vibrations
Will be sluggish. and promise to
awaken feelings, possibly unfounded
OF resentment, combined with a rail
ing at fate. Unless curbed. you may
find yourself in a self-created slough
OF despond.' and the only advice
worth while at such a time is to
scramble out as quickly as YOU can
10 firm and dry land of self-assura nee
a boy born tomorrow will have
more than his share of infantile sick
ness, and much attention, IN his case
must be paid 10 nutrition. Once
babyhood is passed. he will grow and
develop along normal lines. A girl
VIII enjoy all the blessings of good
health, and the signs denote that she
VIII attain womanhood without any
physical drawbacks. In temperament,
both boy and girl will be similar
well as pugnacity. Their characters
promise to be strong, and when they
decide TO go after anything, they will
generally succeed in getting it. Kind
ness and gentleness will accomplish
more with these children than force
ful discipline.
If tomorrow is your birthday, YOUR
personality, which is very strong. is
great power for either good or evil.
! Your diiatory habits prevent your ex-
erclslng II as you should, and you are
more content to be a dreamer than a
doer. With your forcefulness, with
your reSourCefulneSS combined with
the persuasive charm that character
ICES you, 1t is to be regretted that you
are so lacking in ambition or in pur-
pose. You could accomplish much,
but are satisfied with little.
You are courted by those who know
you, as your marked abilities as a con-
FersatlonallSt single you out as some
thing different from the ordinary
You brighten and enliven either the
family or home circle, and those who
are near and dear to you revel in the
sunshine of your presence. while

ness renders you more ornamental than

The embroidering must be free

transferring a pattern to the rough

Embroidery.
This work must be simple TO be eff

good for stems. Ii flowers have petals
that are filled in. make a long stitch
from the center of the flower to the
end of the petal and make graduated
stitches on each side, parallel with
this center, but not too long. Filled in
foliage leaves should be worked in this
same way.
Neutral tones are recommended for
the braided portions, though a soft
gray green Is sometimes good. Leaves
of foliage should be green as we'll as
stems. Flowers are used to carry out
color schemes.

The Folly
OF using just "any good
soap' on your face
The kind beauty experts use them
selves and how used

A SOAP may be good for any
n number Of things, yet not be
at all suited to the skin. The only
kind of soap to use on your face
is a soap made basically for that
purpose. A good complexion is too
priceless for experiment.
Before Palmolive came, women
were told, "use no soap on your
faces" All soaps then were judged
too harsh.
Then came this famous beauty
creation. A soap made by experts
in beauty of rare cosmetic oils-and
made solely for one purpose: to
safeguard the complexion. A soap
that changed the beauty methods
of the world.
Leading skin authorities urge it.
1t has brought natural skin lowell
ness to more women than any other
method known. In your own inter
est, use it according to the following
rule for one week. Note the i'm
provement your complexion shows:
