WOMAN’S PAGE Nightcap or Bandeau for Locks BY MARY The {nnumerable boudoir caps that were worn by innuperable American Women who never set foot inside a Toom that could by any stretch of the imagination be called a boudojr diG more than anything else to put these little accessories out of fashion.

At cheap seaside resorts there were women who wore them as they sat upon the sands after their dip in the breakers. And lazy housewives in Our Chfldl‘en—-B’ Angelo Patri Unguarded. “Do You think it is right for my parents to watch me every minute? T can’t go out of the house after dark without some one with me. I'm not allowed to go to parties without somebody tagging along. I'm 17 and my parents don’t- think-1 ought to be out later than midnight and then cnly once in about six months. If it doesn't stop T am going to run away.” Poor child! And where will she run to? And who will she run to? And having run away, what is to hap- pen next? Helen, perhaps after you wrote that note you felt better. You had worked off the irritation that was frothing over in your mind and maybe you will see the clearer for it. I for one most earnestly hope so. You are not the only child of 17 who thinks that being guarded is being watched. There {s a_wide dif- ference between the two If you will stop to think about it. One guards what is precious and one watches what one does not trust. Tt is not that your people do not trust you. You are very precious to them: vour life and Its success and its happiness mean evervthing in the world to your tamily. as you dream it to be. veur family care a breath's about you.

Bistory of Pour Name. BY PHILIP FRANCIS NOWLAN. OGILVIE. VARIATIONS—Ogilby, O'Gilby, vey, Galwey, Gilbey, Giiboy. RACIAL ORIGIN—Irish. SOURCE—A given name. Gal- In Scotland the name of the Clan Ogilvie is traced back to an origin | in a place name. But in Ireland there was another clan of this name—that is, the name was the same if You make the com- parison with certain of the Angli- cized variations. In reality, however, | it is not the same name at all when you look at the Gaelle form. This clan was known “O'Glall-Buidhe.” and the i records show that it became an inde- pendent clan unit about the year| 1100 A.D. It was one of those little accidents of history that all persons whose names trace back to this clan are mnot bearing the name of O'Shaughnessy instead, for the chieftaln who found the Clan “0'Giall-Buidhe” was the son of the first chieftain of the O'Shaughnessys. | His given name, from which the (clan name is derived, had a meaning of “vellow hostage” or ‘fair-haired | follower.” It is to be noted that the | true meaning of these old Irish given names in which this element “gil” or giall” appears cannot be adequately ndered by any single English word “Hostage” merely comes the closest to it, or “servant,” or “follower.” The meaning, however, was far from that of “prisoner” or ‘“slave.” There were embodied in it also the thoughts of “loyalty,” “honorable service,” “emu- lation of” and the like.

And, of course, someone belonging to your family should accompany you You should have a background. No girl would like to feel that she had no one who cared for her, ready to show the world a pride and a joy in her. You certainly would not like to feel or to have other folks feel that you counted for so little that you were allowed to g0 your own way as best you might. You are looking at this matter in the wrong way. The family and the family representative in your back- ground is your last line of defense in a battle you do not sense just now. You would know how much you needed them only were they with- drawn, and that, for your dear sake, must not be done. Try not to confuse guarding with watching. You are not being spied upon at all. You are being lovingly cared for during a time when you need love and care as much as you ever will need them in all vour life. Just be glad that you have people who care. Be proud of the fact that you are precious to them. Take them into the fun you are having and you will find that they are wise enough to take their share without infringe- ing on vours.

Attacks the Murderer of Ambition \DorothyDix] Seek Other Form of Murder if You Must, for Nothing Can Revive Dead Hope and Faith of Those Whose Joy Is Slain. ARE vou a killjoy? Are you bns of those Wwho consider it u sacred duty to aksassinate every hope, and take the pep out of every pleasure, and stick a pin Into every little painted balloon that comes Within your sphere of action? There are killjoys of both sexes, and the male of the specles is more deadly than the female, because he strikes with a heavier hand, but the female Is more numercus. Somehow, women seen to take Instinctively to the profession of crepe-hanger, and there aré few households so fortunate as mot to have a lachrymose lady who spends her time rubbing the gilt off the kingerbread of life for every one about her. You know her well. You probably call her wife or mother, or Aunt and you pass your days in the depressing shadow of her dark-blue mism sall pess She ruins a perfectly good dinner by reminding you of how bad every- thing you like to eat is for your stomach. She calls your attention to the fact that potatoes and sweets are fattening, and that you are putting on welght. She wonders if the fich is fresh, and recounts gloomy stories of people Who have died from ptomaine polsoning, and remarks that only that morning she read in the paper about an eptdefic of typhold that was traced back to celery. You mention with innocent, gratified vanity some compliment that has been paid you, or some honor that has been shown you. The killjoy is ready for you with her bucket of cold water. She deflates your ego by telling you of some biting criticism some one has made of you and reminds you that flatterers are never to be trusted, that they always have some nefarious scheme up their sleeves for working you. And she bids you be on your guard against the hypocrites Who butter you with smootn words. You are full of joy over some pleasure you are contemplating. You are going on a journey. You are going to Kive a party. You are going auto- mobiling, or perhtps only to the theater. Half the pleasure of any pleasure is the anticipation of the fun you abe going to have, but the kilifoy never lets you enjoy that QHI croaks about the weariness of travel on the train. She dismally prophe- cies that you will be seasick. She foresees terrible shipwrecks or train collisions. She discourses about the dangers of being run into by reckless ul accidents she ever heard of. She re- minds you of how much trouble it is to glve a party, of the difficulties of getting just the right people together, of how easy It is to bore people and hard to entertain them, and by the time she is done all of our gest for has vanished into thin air and you are ready to give the whole how the affair thing up. You show the killjoy your new hat. “M-m-m-m, yes. Very nice, but don™ you think It is too young for & person of your age and bulld? Middle-aged people who are gelting stout look like old sheep masquerading as spring lambs in fapper get-ups. Besides, brown is 5o trying on people whose hair is turning gray. And you don't mean to say you pafd that much for that hat Why, it's highway robbery” And as for the new house of which you are so proud, and which repre- sents your dream of years, the killjoy sees none of its beauties, but with an eagle eye pounces at once on its faults. “Of course, white woodwork is very pretty,” she concedes, "but it is awfully hard to keep clean, and I am afratd you are going to get terribly tired of these tiled floors, and don’t you think the kitchen a littie small, and that back bedroom ewfully dark, and the plumbing fixtures heavy for a smail bathroom?” HE killjoy is a pest as a friend and acquaintance, but she gets in her real- 1y fatal wotk in her own family. When you see what a stoop-shouldered, lack-jawed, discouraged-lobking man her husband is now you can hardly be- lieve that when he married her he was on his tiptoes, full of ambition—a regular go-getter. But when he poured out his hopes and plans to his wife she strangled them one by one. She told him how other men had failed who tried to do the things he wanted to do. She put an extinguisher on every scheme he broached. She killed his faith in himself, until finally he gave up trying to do any- thing. but just jog along in the worn rut he was in. The killjoy's children de not amount to much. They never achieve any- thing, because she puts out the fire on the, altar of their souls as soon as the first spark shows. She belittles theic efforts. She discourages their talents. She magnifies the difficulties in tidr way. She tells them that poor boys and girls have ne chance to rise in the world, and so the genius that might have soared to the skies is killed by mother's croaking. —— The killjoy's children fill the divor=e courts, for she can’t endure to see them mistakenly happy with faulty wi ¢es and husbands. So she points out to John that his Wwife is extravagant and a poor housekecper, and that she gads around too much. And she pities poor Mary for having a husband who can’t give her all the things that rich women have, and who smokes fn the parlor, and has funny, fussy ways about his eating, until she spoils wll the pleasure that Mary and John have in their new homes, and they come to see their husbands and wives as the poor, weak, fumbling creatures they are, Don't be a killjoy. If you have the murder complex, siake your blood lust on big game, or fiies, or snakes, or something of that mature. Don't kill the joy and faith, the hopes and ambitlons of those about vou. They are all that make life worth living, and when you kill them our Very souls are dead within us. DOROTHY bix. (Capyright.) NEw. A richly decorated caddy filled with Tetley’s.

C. PEATTIE. Maples in Bloom. Maples are in bloom! Up and down In the streets and along winding pathways of the parks, following the week of Maylike weather, their beautifu! Hztle coral or golden flowers have burst through theli thick, glutinous buds at the magie touch of Spring. A false Spring, perhaps, plants, but not for maples. They are the optimists of the trees. Lven the golden tassels of the early alders are not yet hung out. Pussy-willowsand forsythia are not yet in bloom ex- cept when brought in the house and forced by the heat of the rooms. But maples, defying March to blow its iciest, or fickle April to turn a cold shoulder, have burst the seal of their tombe. Red maple and siiver maple, the king of them all, the sugar ma ple, they are all blooming in our stre Aud the foreigners, sy more and Norway maples, these hand- some Europeans are in flower, too. Well they know that before the re- turn of Winter's last fling at cold they will be well on their way So early does the maple raature its vermilion-winged seeds, so Mke but- terflies that when most peuple wmet forth in March or April to look for wild flowers they never find the ma- ple in bloom. It must be watched for in the first big thaw of Feébruary, or it cannot be caught at all The maple fower is well worth looking for. It is small, but the great masses of bloom give to trees at this season an ineffable yel- low or coral ha: From a distance the color is more like that of Spring for other twigs in which the sap is rising than | flowers, so delicate meen through the these days presag- when you approach the trees clomely and bend down a branch can you see the symmetrical, minute beauties of the maple flower.

One Mother Says In the hunt for dainty sandwiches for the young people’s parties we have come across fig sandwiches. Cook washed figs n boiling water to cover until tender: drain, and when cold chop fine and flavor with lemon peel and & slight grating of orange peel. If not sweet enough add sugar to taste. Use for filling between thin slices of buttered brown bread. The flavor of fig filling for sandwiches is im- proved by the addition of a little fine erved ginger.

That’s the insidious thing about it. And even your closest friends won’t tell you. Sometimes, of course, halitosis comes from some deep-seated or- gamc disorder that requires pro- essional advice. But usually— and fortunately—halitosis is only a local condition that yields to the regular use of Listerine as a mouth wash and gargle. It is an interesting thing that this well- known_antiseptic that has been in use for years for surgical dress- ings, possessés these unusual properties as a breath deodorant. Test the remarkable deodoriz- ing effects of Listerine this way Rub alittle onion en your fingers. Then apply Listerine and note how quickly the onion odor dis- appears. This safe and long-trusted an- tiseptic has dozens of different uses; note the little circular that «comes with every bottle. Your druggist sells Listerine in the original brown package only — never in bulk. There are three sizes: three ounce, seven ounce and fourteen ounce. Buy the large size for economy.— Lambert Zhfls A-rflcvmp«y. Saint Louis,
