It be- came a Christian name, and even when the Roman Empire fell before the conquests of the Teutonic tribes it survived, to appear in changed form in the new languages which sprang up in what is now France through the combination of the original Celtic with the Roman, and finally the Teutonic blood. The change was great. It had sim- : become shortened to Denis. It taken to England by the Nor- ns. The form Dennis is a later nelish_development.

But the District of Columbia, along with other pasts of the country, to be sure, can lay claim to having the smallest flowers in the world—in fact, the smallest plants in the world that bear any flowers at all. ‘When next you cross a quiet bit of water, look down from the bridge or from the sides of vour canoe and you may see the duckweeds, floating in tiny green islands on the surface. You are looking at the smallest of all flowering plants. In fact, they are often classed as “green scum" by people who do mnot observe them closely, although they are by no means to be confused with real scum, which consists of masses of tiny green algae that bear no flowers. The duckweeds do, however, have true flowers, though frequently it is | D T . STAR, WASHINGT! ON, D. C., TUESDAY Grandmother Refuses to Be Nursemaid to Second Generation—Is 25 Years Too Great Difference Between Husband and Wife? R MISS DIX: Tam a young man of 26, and have a widowed mother. A few years ago, against her wishes, I married a girl several years older than myself, and we now have a baby 2 years old. Immediately after the ceremony, mother started doing everything she could for us. She even denies herself new clothes in order to give us every dollar that she can spare. My mother has always been a slave—washing, ironing, scrubbing— never having help from any one. When we children were little, for years she never saw the inside of a church, to say nothing of a place of amusement, but of late she seems to be developing a streak of selfishness. For instance, my wife and I like to go to church Sunday mornings, and to dinner at a restaurant, as 1 do not want her to spend her afternoon washing dishes. But my mother, who prefers having dinner at her own home, never offers to take care of the baby. We have to ask it of her, and it is the same thing during the week if we go to the theater. When other grandmothers sew, and take babies for daily walks, my mother prefers to sit and read a magazine. She is only 50 years old, and very well and strong. Don’t you think she should give us more of her time? L. B. A. Answer: 1 certainly do not. 1 see no reason at all why grandmothers hard to find any, made up of a single ovary and a single anther. What we sse when we ook at duck- weed is generally only the vegetative part of the plant, the tiny, flat, green body of the plant, no bigger than a dime, drifting in dense colonies. Some- times there are a few faint nerves in these bodies, showing the resem- blance to a leaf, and sometimes there are rootlets, dangling from beneath, but often both roots and nerves are lacking. In one species the whole plant is so tiny that it is but a little grain, and, as it drifts beneath the surface, it is hard to find, yet it has been “‘caught alive” right here in the Dis- trict by those who have eyes to see. There is something really very beau- tiful about a minlature Sargasso of duckweeds in the Anacostia River or the old canal, for all they are such little plants. The clear emerald green, with the sun shining on them and the water dancing under them, is a sight not to be forgotten. Duck meat is another name for these plants and tells us in what esteem our feath- ered brethren hold these delicacies. COLOR CUT-OUT DAVID COPPERFIELD. | David's New Friend. The first days at school were very hard for poor David. His father had ordered that he must wear on his back a large card on which was prini ed, “Take care of him. He bites.” | You can imagine the shame the poor boy suffered because of this card. He imagined always that some one was reading it. But instead of teasing him as he thought they would, the boys were very sympathetic. When Steerforth, the leader of the gang, heard David's ¢ he expressed his opinion that it From that time r and he and Steerforth became fast friends. Here is handsome, young Steerforth.

Children need to laugh at least once an hour. That is the stingiest allowance pos- sible. Jolly uncles and buoyant aunts have been known to raise it to a laugh a minute. But, of course, that was for hilarious times on spectal occa- sions. A happy medium for every- day purposes serves best. One good way is to train yourself and the children to bring home funny stories. _Encourage them to tell their stories after dinner as they sit about the table, or, if that is not practical, during dessert. At first they will make all sorts of mistakes, but you will pass over them in smiling silence and cover them. with another funny bit saved for the occasion. I knew a little boy who seemed to have no sense of humor, but who conscientiously told his story every evening. For months and months it { would be the same story, gravely and | carefully told. He paused for punc- tuation marks and looked anxiously for the laughter that spelled approval, It came in gales, for the family could not contain themselves as the same tale came forth night after night with the same grave dignity. It became a classic. Here it is: “The teacher fold the class to use the word novel in the sense of tale.

According to your own account, your mother has been a most devoted and conscientious mother. She did not spare herself when she was ralsing her own children, but denled herself every pleasure in order to take care of them. Any woman who has brought up one set of children has done her appointed work in the world, and it is up to her children to raise their own children. They haven't any rl ay that burden on their old mother, If your wife were sick and could not give your baby the care it demands, it would be a_different story. You would not then have to ask your mother to nurse the baby—she would do it of her own accord. But as long as your wife is able-bodied and husky, it is her place to look after her own baby. Of course, it is a very common thing for mothers to do. I know plenty of young women who think nothing of going off to spend the Summer in Burope, leaving their chiliren with mother. I know dozens of young mothers who haven't let having bables interfere with their golf, or their bridge, or their evening parties, because they can always ask mother to walk the colic, or look after a lot of restless youns And, generally, mother is such a papr, weak, spineless creature that she lets herself be made the goat. At a time of life when she should be taking things easy and enjoying herself and zoing on trips, she is nothing but a slave to her grandchiidren. It isn't fair. It ise’t right. It is cruel and unjust on the part of her children. And so 1 “Thank God” for one grandmother who has courage enpugh to refuse to be victimized, and who sits and reads a magazine and lets her children push their own perambulator DOROTHY DIX. Why do older people speak of the love of boys and glrls as “puppy love"? BOBBY. If you have ever raised a puppy. Bobby, vou have found out bound to stick its inquisitive little nose into everything, and to hing that it finds. and to take a taste of anything into which teeth, and that looks edible to it. Very often it makes a nice meal of laundry soap, which disagrees highly with it, and makes it very, very sick. Answer: that it is chew up every Love affects bo: and girls in their teens very much in the same way. They have got to have a try at it. and they can't tell the real from the spurious. And what they thought was angei's food turns out to be brown soap, and glves them a frightful pain for a little while. The reason older people laugh at puppy love is because they have all been through the same experience, and they are recalling how deadly serious they were, and how sure they were that they were experiencing the grand passion of a lifetime, and that they would die of broken hearts if they didn't marry the ones they thought they were in love with. And now they can't even remember the names of their lost loves. And they are laughing to think how absurd it was that a boy of 18 should have thought himself in love with a woman old enough to be his mother, or that a girl should have believed herself in love with a boy whose voice ran up and down the scale when he tried to talk, and who had pale green freckles on his hands, and who was no more like the man he grew up into being than if she had never even heard of him. But grown people don’t laugh at puppy love when they think of what would have happened to them if fate hadn't been Kind enough to save them trom its consequences. For puppy love is tragic when girls and boys rush into matrimony instead of giving themselves a chance to outgrow it. DOROTHY DIX. IDEAR MISS DIX: Do you think 30?7 Den’'t you think a man of happiness if he marries a woman nearer his age? man of 55 vears is too old for a girl of 50 years old would stand a better chance H. L Answer: T thiuk that twenty-five years is ton great a difference in age A man of 55 who is well preserved and in good health may not seem such an unfitting mate for a girl of 30, but they must consider the future when he will be a tottering old man, while she is still in the prime of life. Probably the man of 55 kids himself into thinking that he is still a boy, but this is not true. He has come to the place where we all begin to break, and where we lose our youth swiftly. He may not admit it even to himself, but he has begun to want to cut out things, to stay at home and rest, instead of running about. There are twinges of rheumatism, and he has to begin to consider his stomach instead of his appetite. So the girl who marries the man of 55 can count upon having to put in most of her days in being a fireside companion, and nursing the gout. T think that a man of 55 is far wiser to marry a woman of 40 or 45. She, too, has begun to want to settle down. She is more likely to enjoy the things that he enjoys, and they are more apt to be congenial companions because they belong to the same era, and their tastes and ideals were formed under the same environment and are of the same vintage.

It is now a family classie and the boy laughs most heartily of all. He has so many laughs to make up, he says. Those family laughs are the cement that { binds the group together in bonds of peace and happiness. Fun spreads a warmth throughout the family that years cannot chill, Of course, there are many ways of making fun serve the children. There are balls of all sorts, base ball and tennis and hand ball and water balls. There are swings and scups and ham- mocks; sports and parties and enter- tainments of special kinds on special occasions like birthdays. The greater the share the children take in them the more fun they have. The more the grown-ups do the less fun for the children. Do try to remember that the cream of the fun is in the prepa- ration and the antieipation. But don’t have a sad and solemn house. Keep the grand manner and the grand furniture and all that goes with them until the evil days come when youth has no pleasure in them.

In one girl's room this interesting and original arrangement of a wall space is an important factor in mak- ing it the comfortable and distinctive little living-bedroom it is.

What TomorrowMeans to You BY MARY BLAKE. Virgo. Tomorrow's aspects are variable. In the meorning they are good and stimulating; in the afternoon they are quiescent and of little or no signifi- cance; in the evening they are ad- verse and provocative of pessimism. If you have in hand any special task calling for keen perception and boundless energy, you can, with every assurance of success, devote the early part of the day to its prosecutio In the eveninz recreation—either a: tive or inactive—will prove the best antidote for the lack of self-confl- dence that will be sensed as a result of the astrological atmosphere. A boy born tomorrow will surprise every one in his infancy with his quick response to the treatment that will be accorded him for the few ail- ments from which he will suffer until such time as he attains physical nor- malcy. A girl born tomorrow will be comparatively free from all infantile sickness, but is more than Hable tp suffer from a rather serlous iliness just prior to adolescence. With prop- er care, however, she will emerge from this trouble satisfactorily. In disposition and temperament they will have very similar traits. They will be rather reserved and shy and they will possess only a limited amount of self.confidence. ~They will be averse to all ostentation, very sensitive and quixotically loyal to both persons and causes. 1t tomorrow is your birthday, you are very popular in your own circle and well liked by your associates and | companions. This is very largely a result of your cheerful wit, your un- talling brightness and your general amiability. You have cultivated, with !a great mmeasure of success, the art of conversation and can always make vourself both entertaining and amus- ing. You are very adaptable and are able to fit yourself into any circle in which you may find yourself. You have a great deal of self-possession and are just at much at home in a hovel as in a palace. Your enmergy is illim- itable and your vitality ‘“bubbles over.” There is never either stagna- tion or “ennui” when you are around. You have a great lové for your home, and although not lacking busi- ness ability, your nature is a domestic one and you love whole-heartedly and loyally.
