" B—6 WOMEN Film Album Suggested as Travel Gift Hostess Faces Pantry Door in Sitting at Dining Table. BY EMILY POST. DIAR MRS. POST—Supplementing your suggestions for good-by gifts to take to people who are going trav- eling, may I also suggest one? This is a picture album for negatives. I have several and they are so conven- jent to preserve developed negatives. There are also tin boxes made especi- ally for carrying films, which I know from experience in the tropics will preserve both negatives and films. Answer—Thank you for the sugges- tion. I agree that it is very practical to file negatives in their proper order. In fact, if one takes many pictures of many different places it is often im- possible to sort them accurately aft- erwards. * % ¥ % Dear Mrs. Post—(1) Is the head of the ‘table chosen with respect to its position in the dining room? (2)In a widow’s house, does she ask the guest of honor to sit in the place opposite her at table, or who is seated there? Answer—(1) Usually a hostess who has a butler or a waitress chooses the end of the table facing the pantry door, while the one who is herself waitress would more sensibly take the place nearest to the pantry (or kitchen) door. (2) A member of her own family or the person she knows best among those present. * x * x Dear Mrs. Post—Is it considered bad manners to seal the envelope of a vis- iting card that is inclosed with a present or flowers? Answer—If a message is written on the card it should be sealed. If no message is inclosed, seal it or not as you choose. It is only when a riote is | sent to one friend through another that the envelope must be left open. And even in this case the bearer of the message should seal it in the presence of the writer. * % % % Dear Mrs. Post—What return is ex- pected afterward of the guests who have attended a wedding reception? Answer—If you did not go to the reception, you should leave a card on the bride’s parents within a few days after the reception. But it you went, you do nothing. According to etiquette it is actually the duty of the bride’s mother to leave cards on those who eame to the reception. But no one to- day pays much attention to this con- vention. By and by, when the bride returns from her wedding journey it would be polite to go to see her and if you know her at all well you should invite her and her husband to your house or show them whatever hospi- sality you can.

IT HAS not been definitely de- termined how this surname orig- inated, but it is thought by the best euthorities to have been adopted as & surname from some locality—no doubt a holly grove. The sprig of holly shown in the coat of arms bears out this theory. This coat of arms was borne by the lord mayor of London in 1539 and is used by his descendants. The arms were also borne by the Holleys of County Norfolk, England, with three annulets gules for difference. ‘The name Holley is now well known in many sections of the United States. ‘There were several New England set- tlers who came over in the early days of colonizations whose descend- ants are now scattered into almost every State. The first of the name to arrive on the shores of North Amer- ica was Samuel Holley, who is listed as an inhabitant of Cambridge, Mass., as early as 1636. Another settler was Joseph Holley, who was living in Weymouth, Mass, in 1639. From there he moved to Sandwich, Mass. John Holley came to America in 1644. It is thought that he was born in Wales about 1618. Arriving in America, he selected Stamford, Conn., @s his home town, where he at once became influential in the affairs of the community. He served as town marshal and as representative fo the General Court. His son, John Holley, was one of the original proprietors of Hartford, Conn. His descendants moved to New York State in the early eighteenth century. Many descend- ants are today living in Southern and Western States. “(Copyright. 1935.)

Bedtime Stories Reddy Considers. BY THORNTON W. BURGESS. 8o elfsh some appear to be. Y 'at themselves, _IQBI'H‘}I" pos. Reddy Fox watched Jimmy Skunk shuffiing away. Jimmy was fat. He was in splendid condition. He ap- peared to have not a care in the world. He had nothing to do but just ex- actly what he wanted to do. He could go and come when he pleased. He could sleep when he pleased. He had said that that was the only way for a sensible father to do. “I wonder if he is right,” thought Reddy. “Certainly it is a selfish way of looking at things. I had never thought of Jimmy Skunk as being particularly selfish, but he looks that way to me now. He admits that he has a bigger family than I have, yet, so far as I can find out, he isn't doing the least thing for that family. He doesn’t seem to have any special in- terest in his children. All he thinks of is himself and his own comfort.” Reddy got to his feet, shook himself and started out hunting once more. There were hungry mouths at that = REDDY FOX WATCHED JIMMY SKUNK SHUFFLING ALONG. home on the Green Meadows. He knew that Mrs. Reddy was doing her best to feed those hungry mouths, but he also knew that he should be help- ing. Anyway, that is the way he felt about it, although Jimmy Skunk had pooh-poohed at the idea. Reddy con- sidered this as he trotted along. Could it be that Jimmy Skunk was right? Could it be that all the cares | | and worries in raising a family should | be left to the mother on the grounds | | that she knew best? Reddy thought | |of other fathers whom he knew. | | Johnny Chuck had nothing to do with | the bringing up of his family. It was | |the same way with Peter Rabbit. | | Buster Bear didn’t even know when he had a family. Lightfoot the Deer left his children to the care of their mother. Yowler the Bobcat was like | the others. All of them seemed to be | free of parental responsibility. Reddy sighed. “I wonder,” said he to himself, “if I am the only father who thinks enough of his children to | forget about himself.” Then he re- | come to live in the Old Pasture and | had made a home there for Mrs. | Coyote. Reddy never had liked that | pair because they had made the hunt- ing just so much harder. Now, as he | thought of them, it came to him that Old Man Coyote helped to provide food for his family just as he (Reddy) helped to provide for his children. Reddy felt better then. “I have more respect for that fellow than I ever had before,” said he to himself. “All those other fellows are selfish. Yes, sir; that's what's the matter with them—they are all selfish. And they are all cheating themselves. That's the funny part of it. They are 50 selfish that they cheat themselves. ‘They don't know what it is to have the love and respect of their own children. They cheat themselves of a lot of fun in watching the young- sters play. They cheat themselves of | a lot of pride in the way the young- sters develop. I work hard and get dreadfully tired, but it is worth it. Yes, siree; it is worth it. I always get more enjoyment out of watching Mrs. Reddy and the youngsters eat their food than I do when eating it myself.” After this Reddy felt better. In fact, he found himself beginning to pity those other fathers whom he felt were cheating themselves of so much pleasure. Of course, Johnny Chuck and Peter Rabbit, whose youngsters lived on green food, which was plenti- ful everywhere, had no real occasion to help feed their babies. Their food didn’t have to be hunted for. “Still,” Ask for S ““Sweet ENJOY THE FRESH JUICE OF SUNKIST ORANGES frozen into a delicious ice ' ! » Yes, the same sweet, luscious Sunkist Oranges you use on your own table.

I should think they would want to teach them the ways of the Great World. ‘Why, Peter Rabbit's children start out for themselves before they are a thitd grown. That is a good thing for us Foxes, but I should think that Peter would want to prepare them before they start out. But he appears to think chiefly of himself, and it is the same way with most of the other fathers of my acquaintance.” (Copyright. 1935.) Stay Young BY JOHN BLAKE. ANY men who hold places of importance in the United States are past 70 years old. Two men, who have been extremely busy all their lives and are still at it, are past 72. Both are convinced they will live past 80, and I am sure they will. They certainly show no signs of cracking under the strain so far. ‘These men are and have always been extremely careful about their health. They eat and drink mod- erately. They get an abundance of sleep. I think it is their interest in their jobs that keeps them going. Bear in mind that worry will do you more harm than work. It wil be better for you to put off retire- L ant as long«as you can. Let your doctor look you over now and then. Stop bothering over little troubles. Learn what foods are the most bene- ficial. Don't wear too many clothes in cold weather. Sleep with the win- dows open, even in Winter. The blankets will keep you warm. Don’t be & hermit. Mingle with people. Go places with them. If you handle yourself intelligently you ought to exceed the scriptural life span. Life is more interesting today than it ever was. You are entitled to & long life and a happy one. (Copyright. 1935.)

BY LILLIAN COX ATHEY. OUISIANA and Mississippl have for their State flower the ex- quisite magnolia. They could not have chosen a more ap- propriate flower. Why have we been so remiss our- selves In not planting more of these stately trees? Tropical though they are in foliage and handsome blos- soms, we may grow them with little difficuty st least as far north as Philadelphia. Beside the fact that the magnolias have the largest flowers of any tree under cultivation—one bloom may be 6 inches deep and & foot in diam- eter —they have other points to recommend them. There are same magnolias that bloom before they have obtained their new Spring clothes. Then the fresh leaves come along after we have enjoyed the per- fume-laden air. There are some who say the heavy odor, noticeable for nearly & mile away, is objectionable. Most of the magnolias retain their foliage through Winter and Summer. In early Spring the tree looks like & many-branched candelabra, each ter- minal bud containing & single flower. The heavy dews and showers con- tribute their important service of making the tree beautiful. Each leaf of the dark green pyramid reflects the sunshine and the moonlight. The lustrous foliage is a fitting back- ground for the pure white flowers. The texture of the petals is thick, waxy and glossy and the coloring especially rich. This tree has blos- soms that cannot bear shipping. Like s great water lily, the waxen petals hug s purple heart, which causes the whole flower to turn dark. ‘The Southern magnolia furnishes the beautiful evergeen foliage found in the Northern florist shops at Christmas. It is slso used in the South for Yuletide decoration. The upper surface of each handsome leaf is a dark, glossy green; the lining, & rusty, fuzzy red. When the leaf is very old the fuzz is shed. The wood of this tree has not been in demand, and for this reason they are more plentiful than they other- wise would be. But recently their numbers have been threatened, since it has become so much the fashion to use magnolia branches for decora- tion. The Bouthern magnolias we see on lawns and in parks reach a height of 20 to maybe 50 feet. In the forests of Louisiana, where it truly attains perfection, it is & king among mag- nolias and stands s high as 80 feet, with a 4-foot trunk. Here it has Justly won its fame as the most beau- tiful and ornamental forest tree in America, Pointed Paragraphs. Unfortunately s man's epitaph comes along too late in the game for | him to live up to it. When & man is unable to choose | between two evils he usually hunts up a third. Many a man who claims to be wedded to his art can't prove it. A woman has to be a lightning thinker in order to think before she speaks. Money doesn’t grow on trees, but much of it is obtained by grafting. When people abuse you suspect yourself, when they praise you sus- ! pect them. True love will conquer s great many obstacles, but poverty and toothache are exceptions. Some men admit they are self- made, while there are others who blame it on their wives. The man who lives for himself alone hasn’t much to live for. Fortunate s the man who doesn't go lame when he has occasion to sidestep temptation. WOMEN’S FEATURE&. Contract BY P. HAL SIMS.
