A few weeks ago 1 saw Florence Reed in her stage play, “East of Suez.” She ras always interested me, both on the stage and off. And secing her again made me think of a talk I had with her me littlo time ago, in the darkened theater gwhere was rehearsing a play for the road.

From that comes a comradeship that is balanced and fair. One cannot be the gliver and one the ‘taker in any sort of sense and expect balance. There comes the in- evitable time when the man tires of being asked for this and that. There comes & time when the clinging vine clings a little bit too closely. She stifies.

The addition of such fashlonable accessories to a sur- face of velvet or wool turns a house wrapper into a house robe. When women discarded a sweater, a blouse and a separate skirt as a three-piece house costume, they ¢hose the slip-on frocks of woolen jers From these they slipped by eas) stages into the protective wrapper that took on the &irs of a gown. Pos- sibly it should be sald that frocks have taken on the casual air of wrap- pors. FPossinly that is explanation or the fact that men no longer ob-{ ject to women at table dressed in: wrappers; men do not know that thees things wre not gowns.

All her frocks are cut on the same lines these davs: the dif-| ference between them lies in the fab-| ric and ornamentation. The sketch shows a new rosm wrapper, a comfortable protective garment full of color, which can be wrapped about the figure at a mo- ment's notice to serve as a house frock, a wrapper, that is, with possi- bilities of lightning change. It is of almond green duvetyn with a rolling collar, wide pockets and a separate; girdle; that is the thing that does the transformation act.

The nickname of Jack was, if any- thing, more commonly used for the given name of James than of John in the mid- dle ages. And really the discussion gets more confusing as we go on, for we use here to remark that the name of ames in the middle ages was not James at all, but “Jacobus,” and that today the French form of the name fis “Jacques.” That is why the nickname of Jack was more often the variation of James than of John. The magner in which ths family names of Jackson and Jaxon were evolved from Jack is, of course, quite clear. Jacox, not a very common varia- tion, has been developed from Jack in the same way that Hancock was bullt up on Han (from Johan, or John), through the diminutive ending “cock."” Your Homé and You ———— BY HELEN KENDALL. Spring Sewing. ! Now that we women are able to buy 80 many of our garments in the ready-to-w shops, the old-fash- ioned orgy which used to be known as “spring sewing” has become al most extinct. Time was when, dur- ing the early months of the new year, every housewife was buri beneath billows of nainsook and dimity, en- tangled in vards upon vards of lace and embroidery nd had her brows puckeped ov the cutting and fitting of dainty wash frocks. All of the summer underwear for children, and mothers. too, was made in the family sewing room in those days, and the seamstress was engaged many weeks in advance. The hum of the sewing machine was heard in the land, and when finally the &risp piles of petti- | coats, dresses and aprons were laid away to awalt the coming of warm weather the b malier heaved a sigh of proud relief. The modern home knows no such prolonged sewing session nowadays, an of taste and ideas ho has not a plump budget item to cover the family wardrobe will utilize a good many of the days of ice-without, open-fire-within, in needlework which will supply the | one missing quality in the ready-| made article—individuality.

He has to be smart. Yes, sir, he has to be smart. You see he lives almost altogether on other little people, and if he were not smart enough to catch them he would soon starve to death. So Shadow has learned all about the habits of his neighbors and just what they are likely to do when he is after them. When he started for the dear Old Briar Patch he hoped to surprise Peter Rabbit and Mrs. Peter.

Ther had been two Rabbits in there in- stead of one, and this new scent was not the scent of little Mrs. Peter.
