CHAPTER XIV.
Mother and Son.

AS Conrad turned away from the
telephone he saw his mother coming
down the stairs. She wore a heavy
wooden bathrobe over her nightgown,
her feet were thrust into red flannel
bedroom slippers.
What is it, Conrad, what has hap
pened?"
Richard just telephoned. He seems
to think that Jean didn't go to Boston
after ALL"
She didn't go to Boston, then
where is she?"
God knows where she is. Richard
says she was seen at the Red Lion
Tavern. You've heard of it. They
serve liquor there and tonight the po-
lice broke into the place"
Mrs. Morsan's eyes glittered strange

tense voice.
Conrad wheeled on her. What do
you mean by. that remark"
Just what I say, your love for Jean
has blinded you to what she really is.
I've tried to warn you. You. yourself,
know of three instances where Jean
was with this Thorne man, but how
do YOU know how many more times
she has seen him? Was she with him
tonight?'
Richard wasn't sure, but he thought

At Last Peter Hears a Butterfly

Peter Rabbit.

Peter Rabbit was becoming discour-
aged. Busy Bee had said that there
was at least one butterfly that made
a noise and Peter had started out to
find that ono and couldn't. Never in
his whole life had those long ears of
his done so much listening. But even
when a butterfly would pass so close
to one of those long ears as to almost
touch it. there WAS no sound that
Peter could hear. The worst of it was
that RSlsv Bee seemed TO be trying to
keep out OF Peters way.
But at last Peter found Busy Bee at
work among the blossoms on little
patch of clover. BUSY Bee. said
Peter. severely i believe you told me

"How's that" inquired Busy Bee in

Peter nodded. Yes" said he. I've

a noise?'
That's the one" replied Busy Bee,
buzzing over to another clover head.
Peter hurried after her Say that

II said that the butterfly that lives

replied Busy Bee.

hopeful nature. The effects or the
unfavorabe influences that prevail
will be felt more 50 far as the emo

to activities There Will be sensed a
strong feeling of Self-disappointment
which, without apparent cause or rea-
son, is liable to degenerate into
temperament OF petulancy. Livery
effort must be made TO curb TINS
tendency as, under it's control, you
are liable to say and do things that
will cause later regret. In the eve
ming the atmosphere will have en-
tirely changed and optimism Will take
the place OF pessimism. and sef-con-
fidence that of reimbursement.
Children born tomorrow will suffer,
according to the signs, from a variety
Of ailments during their infancy.
None of them, however, will reveal
any alarming symptoms, and all OF
them will readily yield to ordinary

One mother whose daughter had
long convalescence used continually
to be on the lookout for little indi-

daintily prepared food. l remember
one such dish. 1t was for stiawber-

used for many things besides. A bit
of vine with three big red berries
ornamented the center of the white
dish with gilt edges. The berries
looked particularly inviting In the

it would be a colored glass dish or
piece of stemware that would appear.
and again it would be a new piece of
china to complete a. set for the tray.
Most of the dishes cost but "a tritie,
but the daughter was always think
ing that something different might
appear on her tray.
The Tonic of Laughter.
Another instance comes to mind of
a wife who delighted in bringing an
element of amusement to her hus-

them under his plate on the tray. He
was always certain that some funny

One dear old lady used to lie vastly
by specializing on what
kind of flower her daughter would
find each day to lay on her tray. The
mother was we'll verSed in the lore
of flowers and her daughter would
hunt for the earliest blossoms of
Spring and the first flowers of plants

They lived in the country. and it was
not easy to get flowers in Winter. so

soon as buds appeared in the Spring
she would pluck sprays from trees
and bushes and force them to early

last red leaves disappeared in the Au
tumn she would still find some feath-
cry grasses and seed pods.
PiQue the Interest.
There arc endless ways of adding
beauty to trays or piquing interest in
what is to come either in the food

VARIATIONS Dimond, Dimont.

RACIAL ORIGIN - Dutch and
French.
SOURCE-A given name.

Here is a family name for the
origin of which several explanations
have been advanced. On the face Of
it YOU might suppose that it was a
development in some way from our
word indicating the precious stone
1t is not impossible, of course. that
in an individual case. here and there,
the name did originate that way. But
so far as the available records go
this is not considered probable.
1t may be that in some instances
the family name was formed from an
Anglo Saxon given name. But there
is nothing even to indicate this. Ap-
parently it has come from q given
name which among the Dutch was
at first "Dieman." and then "Dia-
ment." and among the French. "Di-
man." 1t was also found among the
Flemish as "Deman." and the Danes
call it "Demandt." All of these lin
quistic variations are traceable as
descendants Of the old German "Dio-
mund," a given name indicating that
its bearer was devoted to the pro-
lection of his followers.
In some instances the family name
may have been formed before, and in
others after it was brought into Eng
lish.
