Bob was doing his aigebra, as usual; that is, it was the usual time for the lesson and he was doing the usual thing—sitting with his head on his hand, his book open, his pa- sers scattered before him, still as a rozen rabbit. “What you doing, Bob?” “Thinking." 1 subsided for a few minutes. Bob continued motionl The hands of the clock were moving ahead, but no Igures appeared on the yellow sheets pread on the table; no hint of ac- ivity from the thoughtful student. “But, Bob, what are you think- ng?” “This example. I can’t do it. I told the teacher I couldn’t, so she said I was to take it home and think about it. So I'm thinking about it.” “Then a good way would be to put down what you had thought so far, wouldn't it2” Bob raised his head in amazement. “How can you put down what you think? You think with your head “True. And you write with your hands and your head. Why not?” 8o with great pains I induced the apostle of thought to put down the first proposition and to think aloud on it while he traced his thoughts on paper. Little by little it made itself clear, and the problem was solved. .. “Op, I didn’t know that was what you meant by thinking. I thought when you thought you had to keep still and do it in your head. And nothing came_into my head” sald the relieved Bob, gathering up his scattered tools of knowledge and making his way toward bed.

But you cannot hold Olivia down. A few days later she came home from & shopping tour with a new spring hat and a gleam of inspiration in her eye. Her new hat was cradled in a gorgeous square flowered bandbox. Later in the day her mother was hor- rified to see elght more of the same boxes arrive. ‘They're my vanity dresser,” eaid Olivia briefly, “not new hats, mother. Cheer up!” She placed two of the new boxes (she had bought them from the mil- liner at 50 cents each—"Dad will not shy at $4” she murmured) on the floor between her bedroom windows. Across them she placed two pieces of lath, one near the front of the boxes and one near the back. On top of the lath she set tiers of boxes on each side, and one in the middle to form a snelf for her brushes, combs, mirror, toilet bottles and the like. “I've cut the front side of each box away from the rest, so that it falls open and makes a drawer,” she an- nounced. “It is cut down a bit un- derneath the flap of the lid, so that the box doesn't Lave to be raised up.

VARIATION—Jakeman. RACIAL ORIGIN—English. SOURCE—AnN occupation. One naturally thinks of the given name “Jack” In connection with these family names. But really there is no connection. There is no way in which “Jack” and “man” could have become compounded into a family name, If the rules of probability evolved from a study of the known and traceable origins of thousands of family names are to count for any- thing. There is, however, another natural and logical explanation which is backed up by actual records. We have in common use today the word “jacket.” The ending “et” in- dicates that the word was originally a diminutive of some other word. It was, but we don’t realize it because the original word has become obso. ust as a ‘“helmet" 1tel so a ‘jacket” is a little jack The “jack” of the middle ages was variousiy a coat of leather or a coat of mail. In the latter case the iron rings were sewed on the leather coat for greater protection. This coat, worn sometimes by peasants as @ reg- ular garment, but for the most part and always when reinforced by mail it was used as armor. It was of gen- erous proportions, falling almost to the knees. (The jacket does not) And the “jackman” or “jakeman” was the soldier of whose equipment it formed a part; in short, the regu- lar professional soldier of the day, the mounted man-of-arms, the heavy cavalryman, who formed the back- bone of the armed forces of the Nor- man knights. “Just Hats” By Vyvyan "here are ff that th o m it discover cause You may Tulle Poppy With Gilded Center.
