There are some who say that the vacations of teachers are longer than In the other professions, and this la so.

W H IT E HOUSE V E T E R A N Pontoon Devised to compound of two Ureek words meaning “ goat” und "song,” and that a literal translation of the original term would be “ a song of the goat,” throws but little light upon the modern use of the word, until one examines the custom In vogue In ancient Greece, particularly In connec tion with the production of tragedies. Here, though, we find that the goat played a central role in these entertainments. Not only was one of the animals offered as a prize for the best perform ance by the actors but. because the goat is very partlul to eat ing grape-vines, and therefore an enemy of Bacchus— the pa gan god o f wine in whose honor tne festivals were held- one of them was sacrificed at each pro duction of a tragedy. Further to carry out the simile, the ac tors were dressed for the most part in goat skins, because many of them posed ns mar tyrs, a custom from which we obtain our word "satirical.” The singing of a solemn, melancholic song was the signal for the sac rifice of the goat, and It is be cause o f "this connection that we npirty the word "tragedy" do something which Is extremely sad, whether on the stage or In everyday life.

THE RIGHT THING AT “What's in a Name?” B y M IL D R E D M A R S H A L L THE RIGHT TIME By MARY MARSHALL DUFFEE BREAKFAST grown as tall as you should; there are too many worms around this wall, but this year you will not be held back by them, I promise you." Every morning und evening Robin came and worked to repuy Miss Rose bush’s kindness of the full day when he was caught In tbe snowstorm, und when June came all the flowers in the garden looked with surprise upon Miss Rosebush's beauty, for she far outgrew them all. Up to the top o f the stone wall she grew, aniT then above It, and her beautiful pink roses were so large thnt everybody passing that way stopped to admire them. "Now, wliat do you suppose hap pened?" said a big red rosebush who hnd always been the pride o f the garden. "No one ever noticed Miss Rosebush before this summer.” No one could tell, but If they had asked Robin be could have told them that It was kind deeds that made her so beautiful, but though It Is said that little birds tell, n great deal, Robin did not tell what lie knew about Miss Rosebush, and so no one In tbe garden found out why she grew so tall and beautiful that summer. AT HOME REAKFAST In most homes is a gloomy meal, and yet unless some fearful disaster Impends or tins al ready fallen, cheerful countenance and pleasant good mornings are fur more natural than the blues. So the mistress of the house must frown down bad morning manners, just as she must Insist upon tbe polite "Fhtcuse me" when anybody wishes to leave the table before the meal Is over. She must see that the maid wears a clean apron while serving Hnd that she goes about her duties quietly, aud all tills must lie done be forehand, as it is not In tbe polite nesses to correct the servant at table. Reading the newspapers at breakfast time is a distinct brench of manners, although the break Is allowed In many homes. "I f you please,” and “ no, I thank you," are phrases polite persons accord any memlier of the family when asked to have something or other, and the same civility Is re quired when deuling with a servant. At breakfast and luncheon a large tray Is generally set for the mis tress o f the house, from which she serves the tea and coffee. F'rult Is served before the meat, and in order that the napkins may not be ruined with the stains finger bowls are then obligatory. Boiled eggs are served tn egg cups and not in a glass as In the old messy manner, and It Is proper to eat them directly from the shell. As every housewife knows eggs have a way of discoloring silver spoons and there Is no reason why they should not tie eaten with the small bone spoons that come especially for that purpose. It is now taken for granted that the persons gathered around the break- fnst tatde Uuve none too much tlma to spend; therefore more leniency is permitted In manners perhaps than at dinner which Is the leisurely meal of the day. F'or instance. If one per son does not care for fruit, it is not discourteous for him to proceed to cereal or eggs or whatever his break fast consists of. Moreover there Is no reason why we should make an effort toward uniformity In break fasts and if one member wishes to omit any one or more dishes he need make no effort to overcome hls prej udice, whereas we do try to take th# courses as they come at dinner. Facts about your name; Its history: mean ing; whence it was derived; significance} vour lucky day and lucky icwcL ANGELICA a name of much more A NGELICA, substance than tlie ixillld Angela, is still one of the "angelic names” which feminine fancy delights to be stow on Its girl children. It means, o f course, "ungellc” and seems diffi cult to reconcile with the behavior of some of the small daughters whom one finds bearing the name. Angelos was a Greek word meaning "heavenly messenger,” hence "ungel.” It first became a name In the Byzan tium empire when it was bestowed as an epithet upon persons of surpassing beauty. It was applied most often as n mas culine name and there was a Carmel ite saint called Angelo, who estab lished it as a baptismal name. In hls honor, the feminine also became popu lar aud Italian history records many instances of Its use. Angelica sprang to fame since It named the faithless lady of romance for whose sake Orlando lost his heart and hls senses. Though she was the Invention o f Bolardo and Ariosto, the romantic tluvor which the story gave her name brought Angelica to Instunt favor. England llkod the name and adopted It. In F’ rance it became An- gelique, and Italy produced the other forms o f Angloletta and Anzloleta, thought Angelica continued the reign ing favorite. Angelica's tallsmanlc gem Is the |iearl. It gunrils the purity and sweet ness o f her, brings her friends and much charm. Sunday is her lucky day aud 2 her lucky number. The wild rose Is her flower. (C o p y r tc tlt.)
