At French resorts last Summer you
may have observed this tendency to
draw the jumper very tight about the

II you stayed at home. you may have
noticed this trick IN photographs
showing groups of fashionable women

that you are one OF the thousands

STRIKER.
VARiATiON-Striker.
RACIAL ORiGiN-Danish.
SOURCE-An occupatjon,

a closer form TO the original Of this
family name would be "Striger."
1t is a family name formed under
English influence from a Danish
source. It's meaning Is not what you
might suppose-one who strikes or
hits.
The Danish word "strige" meant to
roam, or to wander, or to travel, and
SO the striker" was a more or less
adventuresonle wanderer on the face
OF the globe. In freer descriptive
sense II came to mean a travelling
workman.
And this gives you a clearer under
standing OF the way in which such a
name spread into England and the
United States. The east coast of Eng
land is in rather familiar intercourse
with Denmark. 1t has always been 80,
Off and on. down through the ages,
since the Teutons of the Baltic shores,
known as the Angles and the Saxons,
first invaded England and drove back
the original BritonS into Wales, Corn
wall and certain other sections Of the
western part of that island. Both
from the invas!ons of the Danes in
centuries past. and from more recent
communication with Denmark, the dia-
lects of the northeastern coast Of Eng
land have been subject more or less
to Danish influence and contain manv
Danish words.

Rosalind and Nicky.

Al the end Of the dance Alvin left
her to go back TO Edith, and before
either Tony or Nicky Blake could
reach her, Rosalind hurried over to
Dorothy.
1T is getting very late. and I must
go home she said hurriedly.
Dorothy acquiesced Immediately.
Can you find your wrap, or shall
I so with you? Nicky will see you
home. He'd like to. I'm sure"
"Oh. but that isn't necessary. I'm
used to flying around alone. I can
get a taxi at the door, 50 please don't
bother
Rosalind did not want Nicky TO see
her home. She dreaded being alone
with him. She wanted nothing in
her own little place. and she wished
with d loneliness usually foreign to
her that some one would be there
when she arrived. She longed for the
protective tenderness Of Madeline s
friendship. She wanted some one
who cared for her to confide in. In
some way the events of the evening
had bewildered her. Dorothy's con
fidences had been disturbing. She
wanted to think everything over and
most OF all, she wanted to go home
alone.
However. when she emerged from,
Dorothy's bedroom. Nicky was wait
ing for her. Unless she made a scene
there was nothing to do but accept
him for an escort. 1t was in vain
that she tried to tell herself that she
was foolish. Here was her chance tc

What Kind of a Giver I!
By MIMI.

! Now that Christmas is far in the
/ background, the subject of giving
| would seem 10 be out Of date. But.
! the spirit of the true giver should last
all the year round, and Just recently
! two horrible examples Of the wrong
! kind of giving were presented TO my
| notice.
! Marie had given Lucy a perfectly
| stunning neglige for Christmas.
Marie. be 1t known. is comparatively
wealthy, and Lucy is just another
spend on gifts. She gave her friend
some nice little membranes, ana
| called it day.
| The days sped past and nothing re-
mained of the Yuletide season but
some pleasant memories and some
withered holly wreaths.
Then NJ and L. had u falling out
/ just one of those nice. girlish spats
! that do not mean u thing really. but
| which seem to call for all the nastiest
! remarks on earth.
! Marie claimed that Lucy had de-
, Uberately snubbed her on the street.
! Lucy. Of course. denied the grave
charge vigorously. and there were
words.
! Finally Marie. the cheerful Giver, re-
marked icily: We'll. Lucy, | can't
think how you can have the nerve to
treat me ike this. After the perfectly
stunning present l gave you only "a
couple of weeks ago. Honestly. you
don't seem TO have drop of gratitude
in you"
The most ill-bred thing she could
possibly have said. The one thing in
the world proud Lucy could never for
give.
Clearly II. had not given that neg
lige in the right spirit. She had
/ favored her friend with a lavish gift
and she expected respectful treatment
, for years after as a result.
And the nthere was Kate. who gave
Rose q nice hhtpin. and told her over
and over again that if II were not
the right kind. l.. was TO change il
for something She liked better. Rose
finally decided TO make the change
/ and the other day cashcd in the pin
COR nice bag.
Kate WAS told. Kate said Jelly, ex-
aminins the new acquisition: Per
sonally think it's a horrid bag. and
why you should want II in place OF
that lovely pin. Particularly. when
I'd taken such pains to choose It for
YOU"
Sounds almost too terrible to be
true. but It actually happened 1t

Are you one of those people who

ing and adrniring gratitude?
Did you really give things you
hoped would satisfy?
Did you really desire above every
thing else the happiness of the re
cipient?
If you can't answer all those ques-
tons satisfactorily. then don't give
yourself away to your friends.
Don't earn yourself unpopularity by
displaying the dark motives that lay
behind your apparently generous
giving.
If you We're the wrong kind of giver,
keep il dark now and try TO do better

Dorothy's good-n night was not SO
friendly as her greeting earlier In the
evening had been. She eyed Rosalind
rather distantly and said nothing
about seeing her again. II did not
make Rosalind feel any better TO
realize that Dorothy believed that she
had encouraged Tony's advances. but
there was no time TO make an expla-
nation. II would have 10 go for the
present.
once in the taxi, she sat stiff and
rlgid In her corner, and until they had
: almost reached home Nicky made no
advances. She was almost beginning
10 believe that she was going 10
! escape any unwelcome familiarity,
and her manner toward Nicky had
softened somewhat, when quite I'M

could smell the alcohol on his breath.

him back. and Just then the taxi drew

eaten and was springing out Of the
car. Without looking back she ran
into the vestibule and closed the heavy

there for quite some time, breathing

she was trembling all over. But even
then she realized that It was not SO
