The Carrousel"
::S$S&:?
BY JEAN NEWTON

THIS word, which names the mod
Il ern merry-go-round, carries in its
syllables complete history of that
form of entertainment from it's incep-
ton in the fitting exhibitions of old,
when knights. sword in hand, exllib-
tied their prowess on real-not wood
en-chargers to the miniature merry
go-rounds which are occasionally seen
in city streets today. gathering up
children at few cents ride.
"Carrousel" comes from the Italian
"car0sello," meaning tournament,
which is a derivative of "garoso."
quarrelsome and guerra" meaning
war. There we have the first phase
of the ''carrousel." the medieval exit
billions of sword-play and horseman-
ship, which were called by this name
sort of bloodless tournaments, which
live again in the modern revolving
platform, on which prance children
on wooden chargers!
The word is also connected by popu-
lar etymology with the Italian "carri-
cello," meaning little car. And there
we have the connecting link of the
word with its modern significance. of
the mechanical contraption which was
the substitute of the common people
for the flesh and blood carrousels
staged by royalty of former times.

feel like I am doing the ,T right T9 thing
Please advise me. MERCEDES.
I admire your strength of charac-
ter. I feel that you are doing eX-
actly the right thing. Understand,
that I do not know whether you and
your lover belong together or not.
Perhaps you do. If his wife loves
him, she will want him to be happy,
and want him to be with the woman
who satisfies him so completely that
it crowds out all other influences. If
this is true, and there are no chill
dren, I do not see how it will mend
her broken heart to hang on to him.
Nevertheless, Mercedes, there are
things that I do not like about this
man. He does not ring as true as
you do, and I feel somehow that
you are his superior. I do not like
the fact that he did not tell you that
he was married. 7 do not like him
for returning to his drinking and
gambling because you showed prin-
ciples in dealing with him. I fear
that as soon as he became accus-
toned to you that he would return
to his old habits.
However. I may be wrong. If he
really loves you. he will stop his
drinking and gambling again, and
arrange a divorce with his wife as
kindly as possible. If he does this,
and comes to you free, I will like
him much better than I do now.
like you, and I liked your letter,
and II you feel that you can inf1u-
ence this man to straighten up

but you are quite right in refusing
to continue a triangle which cannot
bring anything but misery for all
three of you.

are unsuited to work save in
the home and the nursery.
They have different mental pro-
cesses; incapable of reasoning, they

Martha Lee thinks that 1t is use
less to generalize about women.
General statements always hit
somebody, but there is also large
number whom they do not hit. One
of these women has written letter
which reveals different side from
that written about by Davies.
This woman is neither hayward
nor changeable; neither is she in
capable of reasoning. And she has
the strength of character to stand
by her decisions.
Will other people please write in
their opinions about what Davies
has written about women?
