HOW IT STARTED BY JEAN NEWTON. Calling Him “Parson.” In the word “parson” for the min ister or the preacher we have a curi- mple of the strange working s. For “parson” is a corri tion of “person,” and in its appl! tion to the minister we find a story of theological principle which has been lost sight of in the modern use of the word. The word “person,” as corrupted to | “parson,” and applied to the preacher, | had its origin in the belief that in the person of the priest the church is represented. Among Trinitarians the word ‘“person” had the theological significance of being one of the three | modes of being in the Godhead (the Father, the Son, the Holy Ghost). | Inits early use the term signified a | Catholic priest as well as a Protestant | | minister. But today we find its use | | restricted, usually, to the latter. As | a matter of fact, the term employed | | more in a sense of levity, the man, speaking seriously of his pastor be- ing more likely to refer to him as the pastor or the mini: r than a the parson.” It is in country districts | that the term persists, “Parson | Brown™ being a provincialism with | which we are all familiar.

Yet I have a better digestion than any of them, and in 70 odd might reasonably be supposed to have got a pretty £ood working knowledge of my stomach and its eccentricitles and peculiari- ties. Moreover, at my age, eating is about the only unalloyed pleasure that is left me, and I think I might have that joy in peace. “And it has been years since I have been permitted to indulge my own taste in clothes.

SUB ROSA BY MIML The Whole World. “What's the matter with Mary?” a girl friend asked me one day. “She never seems to be completely satisfled, and yet she has certginly realized her ambition in life. I remember when she used to tell me that all she wanted | in life was to be popular—to have all | the boys in her set admire her—to be | the center of her little world. And now that she's done it, she doesp't seem exactly pleased. She's a queer | case.” “There's just one trouble with Mary,” I anewered, “and that is she can’t make up her own mind whether she really wants to be the whole world to somebody—some man whom she cares for above all others—or to be admired and courted by her whole world.” “But I don't see what difference that makes,” argued my companion “She can go on being a riot with all the boys she knows, and then sud- denly she may wake up some day and find that she'd rather concentrate on one particular man. She doesn’t need to make any plans about it— things will just happen that way.” 4That's sometimes true,” I admitted, “but in nine cases out of ten the girl who starts out with the idea of being a permanent butterfly —of flirt ing and dancing with all the men she knows—steels her heart against sentiment and sometimes loses the chance of being everything to some body. “On the other hand, the girl who makes up her mind definitely that she would rather have just one man who will think her quite perfect than a hundred men who will think her a good sport may very ea v lose out on a lot of good times ill, she has | her goal—she knows what will mak for her permanent happiness, and she sets about getting what she wants. “Mary’s case is a sad one, because the poor girl isn’t quite sure of where she stands. She’s wildly popular—yes —but none of the boyvs dare to pro pose to her, because they know she's a flirt, and ‘will probably be only too glad to break their hearts. So she goes on season after season, always getting a rush and never getting a ring. It would be all right if Mary was really the kind of girl who is ideally happy playing the eternal flirt. Mary fsn’t. She secretly craves shioned sort of love, and a and orange blossoms, and all the rest of the busines: “Well what would you suggest as a means of preventing Mary's kind of mistake?” inquired my friend. “I should say to every girl: ‘Be sure —very sure—that you want to be the permanent coquette, before you start the business of flirting @nd breaking hearts. Once you get the reputation of being a vamp it will be many a weary day before some honest boy asks You to marry him.

Tomorrow's planetary aspects are | benign, without being stimulating. | They will engender a sense of satis-| faction, but will fail to create any | spirit of ambition. You will, in all| probability, experience a feeling of | contentment with conditions as they | are, and, under such circumstance, it | will be wise to yield to these influ ences, not attempting anything of a new character, but just letting well | enough alone.” Do mot try to force | any {ssue, nor to cross any bridges | until you come to them. In the home, relaxation and submission to the in- evitable will avold any disappoint- ment and chagrin, and harmony and affection will reign supreme. A boy born tomorrow will possess great recuperative powers, and, al- though destined to suffer sicknes: during the infantile period, will re cover quickly from these attacks. A | girl, however, will be almost free| from all ailments during girlhood, but, according to the signs, is liable to| have a somewhat seripus physical set back in her “teens.” Her emergence from this danger zone will depend to | a great extent on the nutrition and | care she may have received in the early vears of her life. Tempera-| mentally, both boy and girl will be at- | tractive, winsome and good-natured While the boy is more than liable to be “a sturdy ouk.,” the girl is more apt to pertain to the almost extinct “clinging ivy” class. If tomorrow is your birthday, you are not lacking in courage and are never deterred from undertaking any task because of its size or of the difficulties that may be encountered. You are strong-hearted, and disap- pointment or temporary failure never fazes you, and you always come up smiling with a ‘resiliency worthy of a rubber ball. You are positive in your tastes, know what you want and when you want it. You are re- sourceful, and as a result of the as- similation of much learning v extremely intellectual. You are an omnivorous reader of good books, you make your friends among people of education and erudition, as you are striving all the time to improve your own condition. You are quite philosophical, but your character is tinged with a great degree of curiosity, and you alwavs want to know the why and the where- fore. According to the signs, you should be very happily married and your home life be harmonious and free from all bickering and dispute.

HARLAND H. ALLEN. Cotton Blankets. | The prejudice which used to exist | against cotton blankets has largely | disappeared from the mind of the in med shopper. When we want a that is lighter than wool, mmer blankets, an extra the bed, chaise-longue a slumber robe for something that can be and over again without | hardening, or without | the expensive alternative of dry cleaning, something that will not be prohibitive in cost for the majority of us, then the answer is cotton blankets Even from standpoint_ of warmth it is now known that o#tton is not so inferior to wool as we once imagined. It is not nuch the material used as the way it is treated one material ‘‘warm,” while another is “cold.” It is the air in the surface of the blanket, i which keeps out the | chill_and holds the warmth in. Cot- | ton blankets are now napped so at-| tractively that they often give the ap- | pearance of wool. Hold a blanket up to the light to see how closely it is woven. Your own fingers will tell you how deep and fluffy the nap is. A good cotton | blanket should be closely, tightly| woven so that it will be impenetrable | to the cold and it should be well nap-| covering as for S for davenport; child’s_crib washed over shrinking or the the ped for warmth Cotton is really one of the most cleanly materials that can be used for | blankets. The fact that it is the| main mates used in hospitals for | sanitary and surgical purposes is proof that it is one of the most clean- ly, antiseptic and easily sterilized of all fabrics xknown. Science has ap. proved its use wherever cleanliness is absolutely necessary, and in the case of sickness or wherever frequent laundering is essential, it is a god- send. Of course, there are all grades of cotton, just as there are various grades of wool. A good blanket should | be made of superior fibers especially selected for that purpose; a singularly soft and springy variety for the filling, because only this type will vield to| the proper napping or “fuzzing up” to furnish the necessary air-spaces to hold the body-warmth in; and the lengthwise threads of the blankets should be of a strong staple, sturdy fiber to give a_close weave that will | make them resistant to the cold, and long-wearing. The better the grade of blanket, the softer and more plia- ble it is. Poor cotton blankets are Stiff and heavy.
