home on the Green Meadows. He
knew that Mrs. Reddy was doing her
best to feed those hungry mouths, but
he also knew that he should be help
ing. Anyway, that is the way he felt
about it. although Jimmy Skunk had
pooh-poohed at the idea. Reddy con-
sidered this as he trotted along.
Could it be that Jimmy Skunk was
right? Could it be that all the cares
and worries in raising a family should
be left to the mother on the grounds
that she knew best? Reddy thought
of other fathers whom he knew.
Johnny Chuck had nothing to do with
the bringing up Of his family. 1t was
the same way with Peter Rabbit.
Buster Bear didn't even know when
he had family. Lightfoot the Deer
left his children to the care of their
mother. Yowler the Bobcat was like
the others. AL of them seemed to be
free of parental responsibility.
Reddy sighed. Il wonder" said he
to himself, IF am the only father
who thinks enough of his children to
forget about himself" Then he re-
membered Old Man Coyote, who had
come to live in the Old Pasture and
had made home there for Mrs.
Coyote. Reddy never had liked that
pair because they had made the hunt
ing just so much harder. Now. as he
thought Of them, it came to him that
Old Man Coyote helped to provide
food for his family just as he (Reddy)
helped to provide for his children.
Reddy felt better then.
II have more respect for that fellow
than I ever had before" said he to
himself. "All those other fellows are
selfish. Yes, sir; that's what's the
matter with them-they are all selfish.
And they are all cheating themselves.
That's the funny part of it. They are
SO selfish that they cheat themselves.
They don't know what it is to have
the love and respect Of their own
children. They cheat themselves of
a lot of fun in watching the young
sters play. They cheat themselves of
lot of pride in the way the young
Sters develop. I work hard and get
dreadfully tired. but it is worth it.
Yes, stree; it IS worth it. I always get
more enjoyment out of watching Mrs
Reddy and the youngsters eat their
food than I do when eating it myself"
After this Reddy felt better. In fact,
he found himself beginning to pity
those other fathers whom be felt were
cheating themselves of so much
pleasure. OF course, Johnny Chuck
and Peter Rabbit, whose youngsters
lived on green food, which was plenti-
full everywhere, had no real occasion
to help feed their babies. Their food
didn't have to be hunted for. "Stin,"

The Southern magnolia furnishes
the beautiful evergreen foliage found
in the Northern florist shops at
Christmas. 1t is also used In the
South for Yuletide decoration. The
upper surface Of each handsome leaf
Is dark. glossy green: the lining.
q rusty. fuzzy red. When the leaf
Is very old the fuz In shed.
The wood OF this tree has not been
in demand. and for this reason they
are more plentiful than they other
wise would be. But recently their
numbers have been threatened. since
1t has become 80 much the fashion
TO use magnolia branches for decora-
ton.
The Southern magnolias We see on
lawns and IN parks reach o height of
20 to maybe so feet. In the forests
OF Louisiana. where II truly attains
perfection. 1t Is . king among mag
nolias and stands 81 high as 80 feet,
with a 4-foot trunk. Here 1t has
Justly won its fame as the most beau

Send them q nice present and our
best regrets, pop said, and ma said.
Well have to except the invitation
and there are no two ways out OF 1t,
and that's Just the point. You'll have
to get yourself a new hat because that
old one of yours looks like an arkive
from the ark and I should think you'd
be ashamed to appear in its presence,
she said.
That faithful old lid has stuck to
me without murmur when my best
trends looked at me askance. perhaps
for that very reason, pop said. Any
way, do you expect me to cast 1t aside
now like q worn out hat? he said, and
ma said. You couldn't cast 1t aside
like anything more appropriate. ] as
sure you, hee hee.
Meening that was just what 1t was,
and pop said, But just stop and think
q moment. II wear q new hat down
to the office now after all this time,
all the clerks will think I'm showing
of and they'll stop looking up to me
as q plain simple man among plain
simple men. Or VERSE still, they mite
think I was trying to set them an ex-
ample, and the ones that could afford
1t would rush out and buy themselves
a new hat and the others would b
filled with jellissy and resentment,
and the naturel result would be that
some Of the poorest payed but most
sensitive clerks would steal money to
buy a hat and keep up appearances
and when that sort Of thing Is once
started it always goes from bad to
worse and they'd soon be stealing
money for shoes to 60 with the hat
and SO on till they falsified the books
to buy q car to 60 with their Ill gotten
clothes, and in no time at all the
fern would be in q receivers hands

Pointed Paragraphs.

Unfortunately mans epitaph
comes along too late in the game for
him to live up to 1t.
When a man Is unable to choose
between two evils he usually hunts
up third.
Many a man who claims to be
welded to his art can't prove it.
A woman has to be . lightning
thinker ia order to think before she
speaks.
Money doesn't grow on trees, but
much Of it is obtained by grating.
When people abuse you suspect
yourself. when they praise you sus-
pect them.
True love will conquer . great
many obstacles, but poverty and
toothache are exceptions.
Some men admit they are self
made, while there are others who
blame 1t on their wives.
The man who lives for himself
alone hasn't much to live for.
Fortunate Is the man who doesn't
60 lame when he has occasion to
sidestep temptation.

Reddy Considers.

said Reddy to himself, 'r1 should think
they would want to help train their
youngsters to look out for danger. ]
should think they would want to teach
them the ways of the Great World.
Why, Peter Rabbits children start out
for themselves before they are third
grown. That is good thing for us
Foxes, but I should think that Peter
would want to prepare them before
they start out. But he appears to
think chiefly of himself, and it Is the
same way with most of the other
fathers of my acquaintance"

Travel Gift
Hostess Faces Pantry
Door in Sitting at
Dining Table.
BY EMILY POST.

NEAR MRS. POST-Supplement
your suggestions for good-by gifts
to take to people who are going trav-
cling, may I also suggest one? This
is a picture album for negatives. I
have several and they are so conven-
lent to preserve developed negatives.
There are also tin boxes made especi-
ally for carrying films, which I know
from experience in the tropics will
preserve both negatives and films.
Answer-Thank you for the sugges-
ton. I agree that 1t is very practical
to file negatives in their proper order.
In fact, If one takes many pictures OF
many different places it is often I'M
possible to sort them accurately aft
erwards.
Dear Mrs. Post-Q) Is the head Of
the table chosen with respect to its
position in the dining room? (2)In a
widows house, does she ask the guest
of honor to sit in the place opposite
her at table, or who Is seated there?
Answer-CD Usually hostess who
has q butler or waitress chooses the
end of the table facing the pantry
door, while the one who is herself
waitress would more sensibly take the
place nearest to the pantry COR
Etchen) door. (2) A member of her
own family or the person she knows
best among those present.

Dear Mrs. Post-Is it considered bad
manners to seal the envelope Of Wis
iting card that Is inclosed with a
present or flowers?
Answer-If q message Is written on
the card 1t should be sealed. If no
message is inclosed, seal 1t or not as
you choose. It Is only when q note is
sent to one friend through another
that the envelope must be left open.
And even in this case the bearer of the
message should seal 1t in the presence
of the writer.

Dear Mrs. Post-What return is ex-
pected afterward Of the guests who
have attended wedding reception?
Answer-If you did not go to the
reception, you should leave card on
the brides parents within few days
after the reception. But it you went,
you do nothing. According to etiquette
it Is actually the duty of the brides
mother to leave cards on those who
came to the reception. But no one to-
day pays much attention to this con-
Vention. By and by. when the bride
returns from her wedding journey it
would be polite to go to see her and
if you know her at all well you should
invite her and her husband to your
house or show them whatever hospi-
tality you can.

-Reddy Fox.
Reddy Fox watched Jimmy Skunk
shufning away. Jimmy was fat. He
was in splendid condition. He ap-
peared to have not care in the world.
He had nothing to do but just ex-
actly what he wanted to do. He
could 60 and come when he pleased.
He could sleep when he pleased. He
had said that that was the only way
for a sensible father to do.
II wonder If he is right" thought
Reddy. Certainly it is a selfish way
of looking at things. I had never
thought Of Jimmy Skunk as being
particularly selfish, but he looks that
way to me now He admits that he
has bigger family than I have, yet,
SO far as can find out. he isn't doing
the least thing for that family. He
doesn't seem to have any special In
terest in his children. All he thinks
of is himself and his own comfort"
Reddy got to his feet, shook himself
and started out hunting once more.

IT HAS not been definitely de-
termined how this surname orig
mated, but it is thought by the best
authorities to have been adopted as
q surname from some locality-no
doubt . holly grove. The sprig of
holly shown in the coat of arms
bears out this theory.
This coat Of arms was borne by
the lord mayor of London in 1899
and is used by his descendants. The
arms were also borne by the Holleys
Of County Norfolk, England, with
three annulets gules for difference.
The name Holley is now well known
In many sections of the United States.
There were several New England set
tiers who came over in the early
days Of colonizations whose descend
ants are now scattered into almost
every State. The first of the name
to arrive on the shores Of North Amer
lea was Samuel Holley, who is listed
as an inhabitant Of Cambridge, Mass,
Is early as 1886. Another settler was
Joseph Holley, who was living in
Weymouth, Mass, in 1889. From
there he moved to Sandwich, Mass.
John Holley came to America in
1914. It is thought that he was born
In Wales about 1918. Arriving in
America, he selected Stamford, Conn.,,
as his home town, where he at once
became influential in the affairs of
the community. He served as town
marshal and as representative to the
General Court. His son, John Holley,
was one Of the original proprietors
of Hartford, Conn. His descendants
moved to New York State in the early
eighteenth century. Many descend
ants are today living in Southern and
Western States.
