Jupiter Amnion, god of the Egyp

first discovered, and for Jupiter
Amnion himself that the pungent

modern world has found so many
uses.
One of our old-fashioned flow

heathen derivation. PAEON, him

His name was chosen for the

GEM Is a shortening of the

modern word, coming from the
French JKU, "play," or "jou-Jou,"

DIAMOND means literally "un

The ancients, as was 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
itivc man, wearing no clothes,
must put things for safe keeping
into his mouth. A pocket is "a
little POKE;" which latter word
was early used as we now use Its
derivative, our modern POCKET.
And POKE is thought to be con
nected with the Latin ...bucca, "a
check".
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 comes from the Latin
bulga, "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 lnaressible. The
modern BUDGET is a carefully
planned system of expenditures,
whether for household or for pub.

longer indispensable.
The word CASH has changed

Mystery Of. Rising Cards Revealed
By Wizardo
TODAY I am going to teach you
"The Mystery of the Rising
Card."
There are many ways of doing
the famous rising card trick, but
most of them are very difficult
Fig. 1.
and suited only for the stage.
The method 1 will show you can
be performed any place and with
out fear of detection.
Card Rise From Pack
EFFECT: The magician allows
a card to be freely selected from
the pack. After everyone but the
magician has 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 apprar, fast or
slow?" If the answer l "fast,"
he turps to the person who se
lected the card and asks him to
"nsme the card." Say the answer
Is "Jack of Diamonds." With his
arms still extended and holding
the deck, the magician commands,
"Jack of Diamonds, rise!" To the
amaiement of everyone, the se
lected card jumps out 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 everyone.
SECRET! In every new pack
of cards you will find two or three
extra cards. Take. these two cards

There Is Definite Knack
To Wearing Of Jewels
By Deborah Ames
NOT lopg 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. U was
too big for good taste even on
an older woman, but on her it
looked simply horrible. 1 was a
bit surprised to hear that her
family had given it to hfr.
Perhaps 1 am being a bit "Id
fashioned, but I can not fee! that
diamonds are appropriate for
youngsters and cs"o?ially big
ones in very ornate seunvrs. Dia
monds ure a hard and brilliant
stone, and they almost demand
the same sort of surroundings.
A lovclv pearl, or even some of
the beautiful semi-precious stones'
would hnvo looked so much better
on the girl. Leave Diamonds until
a woman can provide enough
sparkle and wit in her conversa
tion to match the stone. This
chil l couldn't and shouldn't be
expected to.
"THERE is n great knack to the
wearing of jewels. It is better
to wear none at all than to wear
too many or the wrong kind. My
mother-in-law nnd I used to hnve
great discussions over the fact
thnt 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.

their own mother couldn't tell
them apart. They lived in a cavo

their mothor always said:
"Don't go into the foro.'t bo

So Johnny nnd Jimmy played
all day long near the cave, and
never went into the forest, until
one day Johnny stood on his hind

"I'm bigger than you."
"Oh no you're not," snid Jim

"We'ro both big now," said
Johnny. "Big enough to go Into

For tho first three or four years
of my marriage my husband and
I were, very poor, nnd could af
ford no maid, consequently I did
all the work about the house. 1
simply did not see myself plung
ing those lovely stones into dish
water and furniture polish and
tho babies laundry. I think there
aro few things uglier than dirty
dinmonds.
I never did like jewelry on men,
but that is merely a personal
prejudice. I think it nrises from a
very nasty person that I knew in
my ycuth who wore a large yel
low ('inn nnd on his pudgy yellow
hnnds. I think a seal ring or one
w:?h the femily crest, is perfectly
all right. The "crash tags" that
so many men affect now are per
fectly proper, too, as long as the
wearer is entitled to one. Really,
only aviators are supposed to
wear them, nnd tho general the
ory in giving them is based on
the old army practice of giving
them when a flyer first solos.
Rather a gruesome reminder In
the n'ine, but they have grown
into almost a part of the uniform
now. I remember how proud I
was when I fastened the shiny
new one around my husband's
wrist. It's still there, battered and
scratched, but he seldom takes it
off.
Of course, it goes without say
ing that jewelry of any sort is
very out of piece on young chil
dren. I am glad that tho practice
of giving rings nnd lockets to
babies is almost forgotten. Babies
should be so Rwcot and clean fiat
they need no jewel to call n'tn
tion to them.
