Then she came to the new tunnel Danny had dug. Nanny knew now that ahe was on the right track. Her nose told her this. Perhaps, after all, Danny had aimply stayed away to work on that new tunnel.

BY PHILIP FRANCIS NOWLAN. CURTIS VARIATIONS—Curiss. RACIAL ORIGIN—English. SOURCE—A sobriquet. The origin of this family name is likely to prove pussling to you, and then, when it is expiained, make you wonder why you never thought of it. Say “courteous” quickly and you have It. Courtesy in the middle ages appar- ently was a virtue none too general, else It would have been no distinctio to call a man “Walter le Curteyi On the other hand it was by no means | unknown, or the name would not be 80 widespread as it is today. Curtis is one of those names which developed in many sections of Eng- land about the same time, but not all Curtises are sprung from the same stock. There is another source of the ngme, however, though a_ search of| the old records discloses that it was; the source only in & minority of cases. It was the word “Curt-hose,” literally ‘shorit-stocking,” the sort of sob-, riquet that a man would gain for himself by reason of a pecullarity in his dress. As a m er of fact, the name of “Short-hose” is to be found | today in England, though the varia- tion 1s extremely rare. 1 There is a tendency among many students of language to explain these | sobriquet family names by assuming: that they are but corruptions, at one period or another, of already estab-, lished names sounding somewhat ltke the corruption. But in this case, as in many others, actual records prove ' the contrary. | Into Each Life Some Rain Must Fall. Your Home and You BY HELEN KENDALL. Lincoln in the Home. Last year I chanced to be visiting in a home where there were several children, ranging from six to sixteen years. On the evening before Lincoln's birthday, as we elders sat chatting around the open fire, my hostess rose quietly, saying: ““Well, we must decorate the { family shrine for tomorrow. While she went out of the living room for a few moments, her husband 1ifted all the pictures, ornaments and | candlesticks off the mantelshelf and from the wall over the fireplace. His wife returned presently with & large, unframed print of a head of Lincoln, and two simple wreaths of laurel, made of artificial leaves treated with a coating of green-bronze. The head of Lincoln was hung in the center and a wreath of laurel was placed at either side of it. The severe simplic- ity of the decoration was very im- pressive, and we all sat looking up at that noble, patient face and think- ing of the great man whose birth we would celebrate the next day. “We call this our family shrine” explained the mother. “On all great occasions this living room mantel is decorated in honor of the day, the hero, or the event. Tomorrow morn- {ing we will all come in heres after breakfast, talk a little of Lincoln and read his Gettysburg speech and perhaps a few anecdotes about him. This fixes the beauty and the solemnity of Lincoln’s character and life upon the children’s minds. On Washington's birthday, his face is placed here for the day. On the Fourth of July the flag occuples the place of honor. “It {s really a family shrine, too. for on each of the children's birth- days, and ours, a portrait of the per- son 'to be honored is hung here, flanked by candles, flowers aid gifts. { The youngsters take turns decorating FROCK WORN AT SMART WED-| DING.

It was only the other day that I was talking about the value of plain kitchen lard in making the hands pretty. I advised it as a massage at night, with loose gloves pullgd over the bands, so they could absorb this nourishing fat for hours while you slept. 1t's also very good to Tub into the hands after doing housework, and especially after much dishwashing or i scrubbing—two things that take the natural ofls from the hands, leaving them dry and too easily soiled. A scrub woman I knew personally had hands which were always nice looking. I asked her about that once, knowing her hands were in and out of water for eight hours every day. She sald that when she finished work she washed her hands as ciean as possible, then coated them with grease and pulled on old heavy gloves which she wore home. It took nearly an hour to get home, time which was used in feeding her impoverished hands. That's an example to profit by. But, of course, you can use cold cream as a massage, or daintily per- fumed prepared pastes if you wish to spend lots of money.
