How 1t Started
That Word "Vandal." "
BY JEAN NEWTON.

you Vandall" Frequently this Is
said in fun. For when it is meant
it Is q serious accusation. Primarily il
means one who willfully destroys work
Of art or anything beautiful. But it has
been extended to inconsiderateness and
wantonness more generally.
This word carries In its syllables q
chapter of ancient history. 1t commem-
crates Germanic people anciently liv-
ing south Of the Baltic between the Wis.,
tula and the Oder. In the fourth and
fifth centuries they oyerran Gaul, Spain
and North Africa and in ASS sacked
Rome. There they destroyed beautiful
objects Of art and treasures Of all kinds
Their ruthlessness and stupid wanton-
ness has been preserved in our word
"vandal."

window" she whispered to Jim,
"and see who's there. She and
Maud were having a little card
party"
Her mother and Maud were
in the kitchen with two men.
Dodie had a white apron tied
on over her best pink evening
dress and she was making
toasted cheese sandwiches.
Sharlie could smell the brown
ing cheese from her place in
the darkness outside the win
dow.
One of the men was helping
her. He was extremely tall and
excessively blonde.
He was dressed in white flan-
nels and Sharlie decided that
he was the best looking man
she had ever seen. Compared
to him the man of the dance
hall had no attraction whatso-
ever.
But what's he doing with
Dodie?" she wondered.
It made her angry and re-
sentful to see the four people
in the kitchen-Dodie and
Maud Hanaberry and those two
men. For an instant she
thought wildly of stepping into
the kitchen and telling the
men to go-and ordering Maud
out with them.

Jim got it, walking through
the darkness like a tiger or a
footpad. Then they drove back
to Halstead Street. Jim scarce
ly spoke until they got there.
Sharlie looked at him once or
twice. His face was set and
hard, as if he was thinking

What Gid Gertrude, with her

and her dull love affair with

excitement? For lights, a dance

For the things she thought of
as "the joy of living?"
Jim, don't be angry with

hand on his for second. "I've
been through such horrors
lately. You know I have. 1t
just seemed to me that I had
to get out and do something
gay and lively or I'd pass out"
He shrugged his shoulders.

wasn't anything particularly
gay, it was better than a night

That is a very simple word

The TLRAN-NO-SAURUS was

ages and ages before man ap-

There you will see the bones Of
