Lysander ‘ John Appleton once be lieved that If he bought enough rock ers. he wouldn’t have to give up his when company came, but though he filled the house, he still hasn’t enough. He abandoned that ambition and Is now trying to get so many beds in the .house that he will not have to sleep on the parlor lounge when company comes. This ambition is the only one Lysander John Appleton has left. Mrs. Lysander John Appleton talks a great deal to callers about her ail ments. It is related that the preacher called once to ask about her husband's soul, and all he could find out from Mrs. Appleton was the condition of her liver. It has never dawned upon his moth er and sister that the reason Chaun cey Devere Appleton always pulls out the chair that has a weak leg, and breaks it down before company, is that he isn’t allowed in the parlor often enough to become acquainted with its short-comings and infirmities. Though a great deal of money has been spent on Daysey Mayme’s voice, she can’t throw it farther than a block in calling Chauncey Devere home in ii|| the evenings, while a girl who lives next door, and who knows nothing about scales except the kind found on a fish, can throw her voice six blocks.

LJ ACKETT is found in England as well as In this country and as an English surname It is undoubtedly a corruption of Harcourt, a French town. Thus the first to be called Hackett in England may have been a resident of Harcourt, France. But the founder of the Hackett fam ily here was not of English or French origin. He was native of Holland and came to this country over a hundred and twenty-five years ago. He mar ried a daughter of Rev. Abraham Keteltas, a New York clergyman. Their son was James Henry Hackett, bom in New York in 1800. After graduating from Columbia college he married Katherine Sugg, an actress, and for several years led a successful career as a merchant. Financial re ferees came, however, and at his wife’s suggestion he went on the stage. Botl he and Mrs. Hackett acted suc cessfully for many years.

O "What’s in a Name? j « By MILDRED MARSHALL s' V Facts about your name: its history: meaning: whence it was derived: sig* z nificance; your lucky day. lucky jewel EVA THE “mother of all living” received from Adam a name signifying life. He gave her a name of simple dignity and beauty —Eve. In the original, it sounded like Chevva, as it began with a rough aspirate. It was not copied by any of her daughters for a long time and when the first Alexandrian Jews came upon it in translation, they made it Zoe, meaning life, in or der to show the connection of the name with the prophecy, but after ward, in the course of the narrative, they merely called it Heva or Eva, through which we learned to know it as Eve. The Eva of Ireland and Scotland and the Avellne and Eveline of the Normans were probably only imita tions of the old Keltic name Aoiffe. Eve and Eva have been used a great deal In England, many of the old par ish registers recording the christen ing of twins as Adam and Eve. The notion of securing a child’s life that has spread the use of Adam among the Teutonic races has had the same effect upon his wife, so that Eva is a common feminine name in Germany. All of Scandinavia has adopted Eva but Russia calls her Evva or Jevva. France never fancied its simplicity, nor have Italy or Spain given it much attention. Coral, that mogt natural of precious stones, is Eva’s tallsmanic gem. It promises her protection from evil and Immunity from disease, warning of approaching illness by losing its ruddy color. Thursday is her lucky day and 2 her lucky number. Milton in “Paradise Lost” pays trib ute to the mother of the race through Adam’s description of Eve: On she came Led by her Heavenly Maker, though unseen, And guided by his voice; nor unin formed Os nuptial sanctity, and marriage rites; ~ , Grace was In all her steps, Heaven In her eyes. In every gesture dignity and love. ■ ■■■■bbibbbmbbi 4 I I I I I I I I 1 I I 1 I 1 I 1 I « I b I b > b*' a B ■ ■ B BBBBBSw* THE AIR Is full of beautiful things. Are you getting your share?

We notice that over in England a man who owned a confectionary kitchen advertised that he sold some “beauty buns,” the same which would make anyone more beautiful than ever before. He was overun with business— why, we wonder! Two boys, both rather tall and good shots—Linder Alford and Pel ham Ayers—were the main thorns in the side of the Gibson-Mercer team last Friday night, and Hartwell was the victor in a 35-7 battle. Alford and Ayers, shooting 14 and 18 points, respectively, shot goals apparently at will, but at times the passing of the entire members on the Hartwell team was good. Line-Up: Moorhead F.
