The #own has & deep yoke of brown lace, which includes abbreviated kimono sleevelets. Brown marabou cuffs them, and also borders the volumi- nous caps which hangs at the back. The crepe below the lace yoke is in one straight plece, but the skirt is draped up at one hip 8o that a few folds simulate a waistline.

There he wedged it in a crotch, and then with his sharp bill opened it and eagerly ate the nut meat.

Then Sammy hurried over to the crotch in the apple tree where Yank Yank had opened the first peanut. Of course all he found were pleces of shell. He picked up one to see if it was good to eat, but promptly declded it wasn't. “Vank Yank pecked at that thing as if he were opening it thought Sammy. “These picces of queer, dry stuff must be pleces of the covering.

He had never been on that shelf because he had found plenty to eat on the shelves in the Old Orchard. It didn't take two seconds for those sharp eves of his to see that on that shelf were some things which he had never seen on any of the other shelves. He I ed sharply all about to moke sure that nobody was watching him.

A Real Heart Tonic. *Tonic means continuous muscular|ing right. contraction. Doctors speak of tonic spasm and clonic spasm or convul- |sions. The muscles overlying such {an acute inflammation as appendicitis lare in tonic contraction. The muscle { spasm in tetanus (“lockjaw”) is tonic: the spasm or convulsion of epilepsy is clonic. The muscular contractions in chorea (St. Vitus dance) are clonic. A tonic is anything which increases {tone tn an organ or overcomes relax- ation, weakness or debility. A whip unquestionably arouses a tired, exhausted or lazy horse momen- tarily; but Is a whip good medicine for the horse when you have & long, long way to go or a heavy load to pull up hHI? Not if it is your horse: all right for %ome other fellow's horse if you don’'t care what ‘condi- tion the horse may be in when you return him to the owner. A _man_ “doping” himselt habitually with heart tonic and nerve tonic is in the same boat with the fellows Irvin Cobb used to know. If Cobb didn't know them, he will make their ac- quaintance soon or late. They were well in the middle of the lake in a rowboat they had rented for the aft- ernoon when one criet “Look, we gotta leak! The boat's filling with water!” The other continued to row. “We should worry,” he replied cheel fully; “it ain’t our boat. Anything that happens to be good for what ails you when you are de- bilitated is @ tonic, although I don't ithink what a man’ is conventionally supposed to take in such circum- stances has any such effect. *As for medicines, the one which many sufferers from real or imag: inary heart weakness so frequently abusé, without a thought about whose boat they are in, is strychnin. Strychnin convulsions—too often dem- onstrated by’ children in households where this drug is abused—are tonic 1ike those of lockjaw, but the breath- ing muscles are chiefly involved and l‘elr. d contraction prevents dreathing and induces asphyxia; the heart mul is little aftected. In- deed, there is very little ground for the notfon that strychnin is & tonic. It is absurd to imagine that frequent 1 or habitual resort to strychnin will keep & weak or diseased heart work- to breathing in_ serious illnesses or emergencies when the respiration fails, but it cannot be considered a heart tonic. Digitalis and several other drugs of the same class act as a heart tonic in certain disease conditions when administered in suitable doses and at proper intervals for individual re- quirements. These heart tonics are capable of doing real harm when taken indiscriminately, for they ag- gravate some disease conditions. So unless one is unconcerned about the fate of the boat it is well to leave digitalis to the judgment of one's own doctor. Exercise i3 the real heart tonic, after all. In the most successful treatment for various kinds of heart impairment, first rest, later gradually increasing doses of exercise, build re- serve power and diminish the liability to heart failure. If the exercise is accompanied by enjoyment, &0 much the better, althéugh in grave cases only passive movements and the sim- plest of active movements in bed or chair may be necessary at first.

VARIATIONS—Lang, Langhorn, Lan shaw, Langworthy, Longwarth, Lang- lols, Long. RACIAL ORIGIN—~English, also French. SOURCE—Localities, also a nationality, also a personal peculiarity. “Lang” is a variation of the word It is today in widespread use colloqually in the northern sec- tions of England and in the Scottish lowlands, In the middle ages a man often earned the nickname of “Long” or “Lang” because of great height and spare build, and in many cases this nickname has developed into a fam- ily nam The name of Langhorn is just what it seems, “long-horn.” Long-horns were musical instruments quite com- mon in the middle ages. Langley was a name originally de- scriptive of locality in which the bearer lived. It means “long-lea,” or “long-meadow.” Old_instances’ are und of “John de Langecleye” and “de Langleghe.” A “schaw” was an inclosure or shelter, usually for game; hence, the name Langshaw meant originally “of the Long game preserve.’ A “worth” was a farmstead or warded place. Hence, the names Longworth and Langworthy mean literally, “Long farm." Langiols is truly a French name, meaning “the Englishman,” and un- doubtedly in some cases it has been anglicised into Langley. Langley is also derived in_many cases from the older Norman-French or “Lengleyse,” with he same meaning. Lang also is met with as a short- ened and anglicized form of the Scot- tish Highland (Gaelic) clan name of O'Loynachan BY GLADYS HALL, Betty Compson Confesses That—— Ten o'clock in the morning is an awful hour to ask anyone, ‘specially a woman, to confess things.

Listen WRITTEN AND ,World! 1LLUSTRATED By Elsie Tobinson T like to write this feature. Par- ticularly when the other fellow does it for me! Ae, for instance, the fol- lowing writer, who is for alimony, whereas I'm agin it. We do not In- habit the same side of the fence, but I certainly admire her execution. “Dear madam: “In a recent issue you asked us if a wife should pay alimony, This ques- tlon of alimeony is some question! But DO THEY GET AN EVEN BREAK N LIFE ? let us try to ferret out the facts. the first place, we cannot here d with the exceptional man or woman. Thewe do not conform to any law. they make laws for themselves. we must look to the average coupl for our solution of this problem. Lot us start on the premise that the average broken marriage gocs on the rocks between the fifth and tenth vear; that they have an average in- come, from $6 to $10 per day: that they have two or threc children, ranging in age from two to six. Plac the break at seven years. Suppose the man to be a fair mechanic who draws down $8 a day for eight hours wark If he has worked at his trade for a minimum of seven years, he has kept up with the times; he has been fitting | i himself better to meet the exigencies of earning & living. But what aboyt the wife? “We will concede that she is a good housekeeper, that she knows some thing about the care of children, that she can cook fairly well, do plain sewing, etc. But can any one of these, or a combination of them, garn $8 & day? Is she as fitted as friend husband to go out and wrest a living from the world? Does tho world meet hor on the same terms as they do har husband? And last, but not least what about the children? “I will leave it to vou, whether children of that age father or mother most. Also, if eithor or beth should care to marry again, hich stands the better chance? “Some time in the future I hope that men and women will be placed on an equal footing. But they are not now. And changes come siowly When you strike an sverage—as you must in order to be fair—you cannot escape the conclusion that as vet a woman is heavily handicapped in the race. It is quite true that occagion ally she proves the fable of the hare and tortoise to have a foundation iu fact. Physical and spiritual law have rooted woman in the home more se- {eurely than man. She is the heaviest loser when it fails. “And I cannot see that, striking the same fair average, men are contribut ing more to the homo or to marriage than woman. It is fact that many women marry for & home, for eas: and freedom from econamic care. But are men more idealistic in thelr mar- riages?
