Esther Norris was to be marrfed | the next afternoon. She sat at her window, her chin npon her hand, looking out into the shadows of the maple trees. Her Jdance had just left her and she had siipped away to her room, leaving her mother to put the final touches to the decorations and to rehearse the wedding dinner. Esther was thirty-one. Francis Pryce, whoun she was to marry, was forty-seven. It was not a love match but born of mutual respect and con- fidence. Botk had been in love be- fore and each knew it of the other.

Chapman.) /' Which Is in Such Common ¢, Has No Root Nor Etymo- logical Meaning. The word quiz is one of the few English words which has no root nor etymological meaning to give a hint of what it signifies. It is said, in fact, that the manu- facturer of the word himself did not know what it meant. He made it up jokingly, according to the follow- ing story of the word's origin: Many years ago there lived in Dub- lin a person whose name was Daly. According to custom he and a party of friends were gathered together one evening, when he made a wager that by the end of the following day every man in Dublin would be speaking a word having no meaning and being idurlved from no language known. | The wager was eagerly taken up by " Daly's associates, who were sure that he had no chance of winning under the circumstances. Daly owned among other things a theater and after the party had brok- en up he called up all the men con- neeted with the theater, assigned to each a certain portion of the city, sup- r'ied them with ehalk and instructed them to write the letters “Q-U-1-Z" on | every doer and shop window in town | before davlizht, Ilis orders were car- ried out £o effectually that hetore the | morning of the following day was over everyvhody was asking of his neighbor the meaning of the mystevious word “quiz” The ignorance of its meaning and its sudden appearance all over the city created talk and conjecture for many a day [ When the nmh that it was all a,1 joke came out the word was adopted | as a synonym for a jest and expres- sive also of a puzzle because of the questions and general perplexity it had aroused To quiz means, therefore, in one sense, to ask questions, and in other to quiz a person means to jest with or poke fun at him. She Enjoys Cigars. Miss Dillwyn, whose father repre- sented Swansea in parllament, and who herself has done excellent serv- ice on the old Swansea echool board | and board of guardians, is one of the few Englishw,men who enjoy a cigar. She even smokes cigars at public din- ners. “I smoke them because I like them,” { she told a newspaper representative. “I can’t remember how many years I have smoked—all over the world and wherever 1 go. Some people | emoke for asthma and kindred com- plaints, but [ «moke simply and sole- ly for pleasure. 1 smoked my first cigar when I was eleven years old, *and late: my fathe used to give nmI cigars.
