Something fold and re freshing yet at the same time col orful full of eye appeal, ns it were. We actually do out with our eyes, and I ought to mid with our noses as well. If the food that we see is pleasing to our eyes, and if the odor of the food set before us is agreeable to our sense of smell, so much the better. Someone may pay, "but meat is meat, and drink is drink the one will appease our hunger and the other will quench our thirst. What matter if it please our senses?" That is whore we should be all wrong.

In this temple, later on, the Romans first coined MON EY, and our word for that use ful medium of trade was there fore taken directly from the tem ples name, Moneta. Not only MONEY, but the word MINT, as well, was so derived. Few users of "household am monia" realize how tremendous a name the familiar drug is wear ing. It was near the temple of Jupiter Amnion, god of the Egyp tians, that SAL-AMMONIAC was first discovered, nnd for Jupiter Amnion himself that the pungent mineral was named, for which the modern world has found so many uses. One of our old-fashioned flow ers, the PEONY, bears a name of he-ithen derivation, PAEON, him self a minnr deitv, was physician to the gods on Mount Olympus. His name was chosen for the PEONY hecnu.se that plnnt was formerly used in medicine. THE names of precious stones gave evidence of their anti quity, nnd the meanings are some times extremely quaint, and some times only beautiful. GEM is a shortening of the Greek word GEMMA, which means "a bud". JEWEL is a more modern word, coming from the French JEU,"plny," or"jou-Jou," "a plaything". DIAMOND means literally "un tamed", in its sense of being HARD, and it is leaily another form of the word ADAMANT. The word TAME Is from the same root. RL'RY means simply "rod". GARNET was named from Its likeness to pomegranate seeds. Pomegranatum means "an apple witn a cluster of seeds". These feeds (granatum) are of a beau tiful crimson color, very sugges tive of the stone. TOPAZ Is from an Eastern word, tspas, "fire". PEARL is "a little pear". SAPPHIRE means literally "beloved of Saturn". This hints at some old supersti tion, forgotten now. The word ONYX has a very pretty meaning, simply "finger- i 1, VtfB 4rM;s It is vitally important that our food and drinks should be attractive in appearance, as well as gratify ing to the sense of taste. other mixture.

The Ger mans call it Knr.'urkel; funkeln is German for "to sparkle". The ancients, as wan natural, chose their names for things from the objects they saw around them objects already named by those who had lived before them. The very first "pocket" was th( inner side of a cheek, since prim itive man, wearing no clothes, must put things for safe keeping into his mouth. A pocket is "a little POKE;" which lntter word was early used an we now use its derivative, our modern POCKET, And PG)KE is thought to be con nected with the Latin hucca, "a cheek". PURSE comes from the Greek bursa, "a hide". The correspond ing French word is bourse, "a purse", and BOURSE is also the name by which the French stock exchange is known. Our English verb disburse is the same as "dis purse." BUDGET comop fmm the Latin hulga, "a bag". The original budget was a bag full of money; later it was a number of small bags containing various sums sorted out for certain definite purposes. Such a system was nec essary in an age when arithmetic was unknown or inarcnsibU. The modern BUDGET is a carefully planned system of expenditures, whether for household or for pub lic affairs. But tho "bags" are no longer indispensable. Thft word CASH ban changed confiderahly In Its meaning. Orig inally a Cash was a rate nr box to hold money, from the old French eae, "a ease, a bx".

There are many ways of doing the famoiiH rising card trick, but most of them are very difficult and suited only for the atage. The method I will show you tan be performed any place and with out fear of detection. Card Risea From Pack KFFIX'T: The maRician allows a card to be freely selected from the pack. After everyone but the magician ha seen the card, it is put back into the deck. Holding the cards outstretched in his left hand, the magician asks the au dience: "How would you like to have the card appear, fast or low?" If the answer "fast," he turns to the person who se lected the card and asks him to "name the card." Say tho answer is "Jack of Diamonds." With his arms still extended and holding the deck, the magician commands, "Jack of Diamonds, rise"' To the amazement of everyone, the se lected card Jumps nut of the deck into the air. If the answer Is "slow," the card rises slowly and mysteriously from the pack until it is in plain view of averyone. SECRET i In every new pack of cards you will find trv- or three extra cards.

(Copyright. 1916 There Is Definite Knack To Wearing Of Jewels By Deborah Ames NOT long ago I was a guest at a luncheon honoring several young girls who had just been graduated from one of our best finishing schools. They were all nice kids, between the ages of about seventeen and nineteen, well behaved and nice to look at. One of them, an exceptionally pretty child; and almost the youngest one there, was exhibit ing her graduation present an enormous diamond ring. It was too big for good taste even on an older woman, but on her It Uokcd simply horrible. I was a bit surprised to hear that her, family had given it to her. Perhaps I am being a bit old fHshioned, but I can not feel that diamonds aro appropriate for youngsters and esnecinlly big ones in very ornate settings. Dia monds arc a hard and brilliant stone, and they almost demand the same Bort of surroundings. A lovely pearl, or even some of the beautiful semi-precious stones would have looked so much better on the girl. Leave Diamonds until a woman can provide enough sparkle and wit in her converse-, tion to match the stone. This child couldn't and shouldn't be expected to. THERE ts a great knack to the wearing of jewels. It is better to wear none at all than to wpar too many or the wrong kind. My mother-in-law and I used to have great discussions over the fact that I did not wear my engage ment ring at all times. It was a very beautiful ring two big dia monds and a sapphire, and I really thought a great deal of it. "Twin By Inez (As Told To Five ONCE there were two little brown hears named Johnny and Jimmy. They looked so much alike that you couldn't tell which was Johnny and which was Jim my. They were twin bears. Even their own mother couldn't tell them apart. They lived in a cave at the edge of the forest, and their mother always said: "Don't go into the forest be causo you're too little." So Johnny and Jimmy played all day long near the cave, and never went into the forest, until one dny Johnny stood on his hind legs and said: "I'm bigger than you." "Oh no you're not," said Jim my, and he stood on his hind legs too, "We're both big now," said Johnny. "Big enough to go into the forest." So they did go into the forest, walking on their hind legs. The first animal they met was a squirrel. "We're bigger than he is," said Johnny. T 0 PERFORM the trick, se cretly place GPOFO GJI WU DXF in the TEXXSO of the XOWN.

Faay Fuller) For the first three or four years of my marriage my husband and I wore very poor, and could af ford no maid, consequently I did all the work about the house. I simply did not see myself plung ing those lovely stones into dish water and furniture polish and the babies laundry. I think there are few things uglier than dirty diamonds. I never did like jewelry on men. but that is merely a v-i'sonal prejudice. I think it aris?3 from a very nasty person that I knew in my youth who wore a largo yel low f'inmond on his pu(''y yellow hands. I think a seal rinjr or one with the family crest, is perfectly all right. The "crash tpgs" that so many men affect now are per fectly proper, too, as long na the wearer is entitled to one. Really, only aviators are suppo.ed to wear them, and tho generM the ory in giving them is ba:;H on the old army practice of giving them when a flyer first snlos. Rather a gruesome reminder in the n"me, but they have grown into almost a part of the uniform now. I remember how proud I wns w.hn I fastened the shiny ne'.v one nrc-und my husband's wrirt. It's still there, battered and sr-rtched, but he seldom takes it oft. Of course, it goes without say ing that jewelry of any sort is very out of place on young chil dren. I am glad that the practice of giving rings and lockets to bah it a is almost forgotten. Babies should be so sweet and clean that they need no jewel to call atten tion to them. Bears" Hogan Star Storyteller) "Oh, much bigger," my. said Jim- "Gr-r-r," growled Johnny, and the squirrel ran away. Next, they met a porcupine, but, although they tried to fright en him, tho porcupine did mt run away, Johnny poked him with his front paw. "Ow-o!" screamed Johnny. "Ho has sharp quills. They are stuck in my paw, Ow-o-o-o'." JIMMY hnd to help pull the sharp needles out with his teeth. "I think we had better go home." said Johnny. They began to run, but they hadn't gone far before they met a big wolf. They were so frightened they both climbed the first tree they could find, and Just in time. The wolf sat under the tree for a long time and watched them. Then at last he gave up and went away. John ny and Jimmy atlll trembling clinked down. "Tho wolf can't climb a tree," said Johnny. "But he'a bigger than we are," said Jimmy. "Let'a run." They be gan to run toward home, but had n't gone far when they met a big mountain lion. "Oh-o-o-o-ol" screamed the twins, and again they scurried up a tree. But the mountain lion climbed right up after them. They climbed higher and higher, but the mountain lion followed, What do you think happened to the little twin bears? Their fate and other exciting experiences which will fascinate little folks are told in Inei Hogan'a book, "Rear Twins", published by E, P. Dutton & Co., Inc., New York.
