HIS MEMORY IS GONE Prohibition enforcement officers at Jacksonville, Fla., recently seized a large shipment of coconuts, und found that each nut was tilled with strong “ corn llkker." No “ Listening In” • » Civility and all thut It Implies gives you the staying strength to surmount obstacles and to pres* forward In all kinds of weather. Scowls, frowns and short answers very frequently make of the talented aud gifted, sorrowful tollers, while, on the other hand, urbanity aud suavity elevate men and women of moderate attainments to power and affluence. Civility commends Itself to people who know not Its name, hut recog nize It when they see It. The crabbed old boor and the proud youth are now and again arrested by Its soft answer and smiling face, and even the rude vagabond will stop a moment when It crosses his path and stare at It In open eyed w onderment. In some subtle way civility touches hearts and knits mankind closer to gether, yet, despite this fact. It has a long way to go and a great deni of hard work to do before It can over take the masses and make them un derstand Its true worth. To those who are Just starting careers, and especially to the young, good manners are as essential to their success as good commendations. Indeed, politeness may tie said to he the better thing o f the two, for the reason that It builds character, nnd makes It Imposing In the eyes of oth ers. * * There Is no time In one’s life that courtesy of behavior In the treatment of others falls to win recognition. The employee who Is uniformly civil, considerate of his or her em ployer, and thoughtful o f associates as well. Is usually the first to win pro motion. If you will think hack, study cause and effect, you will find ns you reflect that the greater number of failures In life had their beginning In Incivility, and that those who today are conspic uously successful in the arts, profes sions and Industries were In their be ginning. and are now, habitually courteous In words and acts.

Besides that his teeth would some times almost bite off my point. “ Then he dropped me on the floor again and some one stepped on me, although I was fortunate that time In not having a sharp point, so I was not Injured, though my feelings were certainly hurt. "But at last my troubles were at an end nnd I was brought hack to my home, which I never expected to see again, nnd I am ao tired I cannot say another word.” Then over rolled the poor, tired Pencil sound asleep, while the Pen holder and the Fountnln Pen and the big blue pencil looked sadly at their misused companion and sighed. "This goes to prove what I have al ways thought.” said the Fountain Pen ; “ children should never use things that do not belong to them. Poor Pencil will never recover from the hard treatment he has received today nnd I hope we will all he fortunate enough to escape his sad fate.” (C o p y r ig h t) THE RIGHT TH ING A LINE O’ CHEER at the RIGHT TIME By John Kendrick Bangs.

(C o p yrigh t.) INVITATIONS V And I'll request your presence —Shake speare. T T K R E Is a nice little problem In H etiquette that may perplex gome of the brides who are making plans for spring weddings. Suppose, for Instance, that a woman of mature years and Independent position In life who possessed no near relatives Is about to be married, and auppose because of the fact that she Is without family ties she herself must make all those arrangements for the wedding that would usunlly devolve upon the bride’s mother or aunt or other woman relative. It may be that she Is to be married at church and that she wants to Invite her friends and her husband-elect's friends to the ceremony and to a wedding breakfast or supper following the ceremony at her own home where she has lived with no other comiwnlon save an old and trusted servant, or It may be that she and her bridegroom want to en- terta'n their small wedding party at a hotel wedding breakfast following the ceremony. Who then should send out the Invitations? The old time Idea was that n woman should never send out her own wed ding Invitations even though she had been married before nnd really pos sessed no one who stood to her In the place o f a parent or guardian. But good usage now permits n woman to Issue her own wedding Invltntlons w hen there Is no one who would conveni ently do this for her. To be sure, a young woman would seldom do this, but the privilege Is not restricted to women who have been married before. However, when this Is done the bride does not have the Invitations worded thus: “ Miss Jane Smith requests the honor o f your presence at her mar riage to Mr. John Brown, hut Instead she uses this wording: "The honor o f your presence Is requested at the marriage of Miss Jane Smith to Mr. John Brown on the afternoon, etc.” In the event that the bride has both or either parents, their names would most emphatically be used either tn the Invitations or announcement o f a marriage. I f a bride Is motherless, then the Invitations or announcements are sent ont In the name of the father. However. If a motherless bride Is to be married st the home o f an annf. then the Invitations are sent out In the name o f the aunt and her husband. It would be perfectly correct for a father. If he had no convenient home o f his own. to have his daughter mar ried from a sister's home, when the Invttatlons would run?

LUCRETIA |' HOUGH Lucretla waa the name A borne hy the notorious daughter o f the Borgia, It la one of the quaint est and most old-fashioned of names In this country. It la a far cry from ancient Rome to modern New Eng land, but the name has completed the transition with very few changes to rnnrk tlie stages o f Its evolution. There are two theories among ety mologists in regard to the original source of Lucretla. Some contend that It comes from the Latin word lucrutn, meaning “ gnln,” and. for that reason, Lucretla Is said tti signify gain. On the other hand, there Is much evidence to prove that Its real source was In the Latin word for light, lux. Many feminine names have been derived from thla root and the same word has supplied surnames without number. It is believed, therefore, that the noted old gens Lucretlna. from which Lucretla is directly descended, was only another o f the derivatives of lux. “ Lucrece, combing the fleece under the midnight lamp.” the famous old Roman tale. Inspired Shakespeare to write one of his earliest poems. France has a Lucrece which Is pop ular, and England Imported Lucretla In the Eighteenth century.
