IUs the dreariest business in the { worli—just _hanging on, hoping against hope that something all wrong will turn out to be right in the end. It's the most thankless job in the world, too—and yet lots of you poor girls refuse to let go, refuse to give up hope until you've wasted the best part of your lives, and it's too late to start something new. . Louise has been in love with Perry for three years. And to do him credit, he's been in love with her, too —hasn't ever cared for another girl or_been unfaithful to her in any way. Yet, in those three years, he's mad | her just about as unhappy as it's pos- sible for one human being to make another. o isn't the steady, reliable, s-to-get-ahead boy in whom a place her confidence and , ves, and successful at | business—?for a while.

Time after time, he's repented and promised to stick to whatever post he's given. Time after time, his prom- ises are broken and Louise, with her hope chest full to overflowing, and her plans for the wedding all but complete, has to fold her hands back and wait. She’s done everything she could for him—saved his money, helped him to t new jobs, sent him away from her to try his luck in a new city— nd always he's come trailing back a lure. Still she writes to me bravely that she won't give him up. For if she de- serts him, he’ll have no one in the | world to ‘look after him, and he'll { just end up a complete wreck. | "1t’s all_very noble and beautiful— | this sacrifice on Loulse’s part, but it's i going to ruin her life, and it won't do much good in the end. If hes a drifter now, after three . of her continued pleadings and he'll probably be a drifter all ven him a fair chance—and shown that he hasn't the stuff in him to persevere and work. 1t's useless for her to hope further. There's no point in Mer hanging on. She knows him thoroughly for what he is. And though it may sound! beartless to say so, she ought to give him the air. She's got her own life 1o live. She musn't give it up for the sake of a worthless drifter. She may think now with a senti mental rush of feeling that she loves him enough to stand for almost any thing. but after years of married life she won't love the undependable, ir- responsible husband who won't pro- vide for her. | When you find vourself just hang- ing on, hoping for something that your common sense tells you can't possibly happen, it's time to pull up short and stop waiting.

These little pieces, with their cov- ering of black-grounded glazed chintz, patterned with gay flower sprays, are extremely distinctive and both com- fortable and practical as well. There are four picces in the set-— an armchair, dressing table chair (shown here), a rocking chair and a footstool. All have frames of dusky walnut, the chair legs being slender and slightly curved, so they are ex- ceedingly graceful.

ANSON VARIATIONS —Hansen, Annotson. . RACIAL ORIGIN—English. SOURCE—A given name. Family names in this group may come eitHer from the masculine given name of John or Anthony, or the feminine name of Ann. But the presence or absence of the initial “H"” in the family name con- stitutes mno indication - whatever whether or not it comes from Ann or Hans, g As has been explained in previous articles, the name of John was more anciently Johan or Johannes. It has given rise to such varied forms as John, Joan, Han, Hans, Joanna. Jevon, Ivan, Hannah, Anna, Ann and others too numerous to mention, and to a still more numerous list of family names, prominent among which are Jones, Johnson, Hahn, Haenn and the like. z As a family name the form of Anson might have come into being either from “Ann’s-son” or from ‘“Han's- son. And it might also have come from “Anthony’s-son.” The “ot” syl- lable appearing in the other two vari- ations is.simply the regular Norman diminutive, meaning “little,” which we find in the given name of Annette, for instance, but which was equally applicable to masculine and feminine names. ‘When we say that these family names may come either from Ann. John or Anthony, we mean that doubt éxists only in the individual instance, for the old records clearly establish that they actually did come variously from all three of these sources.

They clung together. Charlie ran for a long branch lying by the edge of the pond and poked his Nancy Lee free and gave her a shove toward the open sea. The race was on. Round and round the pond they dashed, splashing in over their knees, urging their crafts along. Charlie saw a chance to tack and made for a rock some feet from shore. It was a slippery pointed thing, not meant for a captain’s bridge. Charlie leaned far out to guide the Nancy. lost his footing, hovered for a tilting instant, then splashed face down in the midst of the muddy sea. Dripping and shivering he arrived before his startled mother. “What happened? Where were you? Didn't I tell you to stay away from there? Why don’t you mind me? Want to get yourself drowned?
