U. No. 30, 1923 She Was Their Half-Aunt Br MARTHA WILLIAMS (, 113), by McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) Florette dashed down the garden walk, wearing her grand air the least bit askew. To the girl studying hen self In a hand mirror, she hissed soft ly: "Poor Esme-Samson! The Philis tines are upon her, Just as she has bobbed her hair. And there's not a Delilah of excuse for It." "Well, what of It?" Esme-Samson asked, yawning faintly. "She can't do any more or worse. Already she has cut me off with one poor dollar In her will." "But today she seems relenting. Anyway, she has come to take us on an all-day ride, and the hamper breathes of richness even afar and through Its sole leather," Florette ex pounded. "I love your Imagination," Esme said, rising laggardly. "The hamper cost so much she never feels she can afford to put anything In It except bread-and-butter sandwiches and Jam crackers, with the Jam mostly left out." , "This time Is different. Listen!" Florette flung back. "There's to be somebody else double somebody else, In fact. Two men actually. That means eats on top of eats. You know how Maria cottons to trousered beings as well as that she knows men have to be fed If you expect or wish to see them ever again." "Ahem! This grows exciting," Esme answered, reaching both arms above her head for a specially choice yellow rosebud. It was no more golden than the hair straying mistily above the smooth forehead, no mure enticingly curved than the slightly parted Hps. They said languidly, "Names, please. I'd hate my expecta tions to get a crick In the neck." Then, after the least pause, "Names don't really matter so If only the bank rolls are big enough and the noses not too big." v "Fate sought to conceal. them by naming them Smith their mother did more and worse by making them Jos eph Jesse and Joseph." Florette groaned, pretending to hide her eyes In sympathy, though they danced to match the leaves overhead, "But that Isn't all nor even the worst," she went on. "They are known to each other, hence to all their familiar world, as Joe-Jesse and Jesse-Joe. Ad ditionally they are twins of the very worst sort Uker than even two peas." "Can heaven suffer such things?" Esme apostrophized wildly. "It can and we must," Florette re turned. "Because our succoring Philis tine Maria told me after reciting these things that they were so awfully girl shy she'd forgive us all our sins of omission and commission If we'd man age even to bring one of them to the altar and, of course the halter." "It will have to be 'both or noth lng.' " Esme sighed. "Since they come double-barreled needs must we take 'em so. I wonder how we'll ever know which Is whose V "We may have to resort to brand' lng," Florette began. Esme clapped her hands. "There Pat Parker will come In well he knows all about such things," she cried. "But not on such stock," Florette dissented, adding after a nice balanc ing upon one tiny foot: "Come along and make ready for the sacrifice." "We're no kin at all," Florette ex plained three days later to a twin Smith she was not sure which, "Maria resulted from my grandpa marrying Esme's grandmamma when both ought to have known better. So she's our Joint half-aunt. That excuses our Irreverence we can each lay all we don't like about her on the other blood." "What Is it you don't like?" the twin asked, giggling softly. "Her luck," Florette answered shrug ging. "You see, she married money- millions of It and served only six months of the life sentence that went with It." "And she won't try the game over bad scran to her!" Pat Parker Inter jected over the girl's shoulder, pre tending to frown. "Heartless, I call It kapln' the lllegant three av us clane out av our unconstitutional rights. The guv'mlnt should sit up and take notice at wanst." Pat was no more Irish than his at tempts at brogue, but liked to be thought so it excused some of his audacities. Hence the foreshortening of his baptismal Kllpatrlck to a single syllable and maltreatment of the com monwealth's English. "Say," he hailed the other twin Smith now approaching with Esme: "Now about makln' med Iclne makln' It right. Supposln' the three ar us go at Maria, In battalion wan by wan proposin' to her In the self-same hour what dye reckon would happen?" "The police on a riot call," Esme laughed. "Our half-aunt Is so canny I'm sure she was born with her eye teeth cut. She may not know what she wants but she certainly does know how and when she wants It "Lady logic Is Irresistible," Pat returned, bowing. The new-come Smith looked thought ful. "Granddad says, any woman will marry except a dead one," he said. "I fthat's true there's a risk" paus ing with eyes fast on Florette-wno cried at him stormlly : "Shame on you t Fie and double fie! We thought yon had at least some sporting blood we know Pat and Mr. Other-Smith are dead game. "You really want us to try?" from Mr. Other-Smith. Florette nodded. Esme shook her head, but the gay chorus from the three men overrode her protest. The group broke up. with a promise to gather and hear the re turns before tennis that afternoon. The girls were over-prompt nothing masculine greeted their eyes as they strolled toward the courts. But dis concertingly, Maria, the Philistine half aunt, was In evidence, yet luckily, In a dissolving view. She called over her shoulder: "Remember, girls we are due for a long drive after It" and went away high-headed a small upright fig ure on tiny feet that stepped so de cisively there was distinction In her movement. Esme looked after her say ing: "She might have married fifty times over but for the money. It makes her suspect everybody " "No wonder," Florette Interrupted. "Dad says she was an ugly duckling Instead of a joyous surprise. So she was nagged and picked at as long as her parents lived. Enough, I say, to ruin any disposition." Our Argonauts are late," Esme said, glancing down at her watch. Coming! I see them In the offing but they approach like beaten hounds, Florette answered, scanning the dis tance, where three laggard figures made haste very, very slowly toward them, When the trio were Just well within hail Maria shot from an ambush of shrubbery, saying melllfluously : "Well met, young people! Just what I was hoping for. I have news to tell thanks to render a weighty choice to make. You have all known how I thought of myself a pill, so richly gilded some were willing to swallow It only because of the gilding. Today I have been shown my mistake three times over by these noble young fel lows. The morning paper told how my riches had taken wings at least, after die. My husband's executors have dug up a residuary legatee, a husky grandson nobodv dreamed existed. Yet these three straightaway proposed to me, one after another" 'And you accepted all three 1 I know It I" Esme shrieked with a con vulsive giggle. "Gratitude forbade anything else," said Maria. "Though, of course I have a preference," laying a possessive hand on Pat. "But I do hope you girls will be wise enough to realize that my leavings are almost as good as my havings." There she broke Into the most real laugh of a lifetime, her eyes shifting from one to another of the blank faces fronting her. Pat came up first, say ing with a hard breath : "Oh, ma'am I renege because the game was crooklt from the start, belave me besides, I don't deserve ye." "Indeed," said Maria, trying to purse her Hps but falling they were so full of giggle then to the Smiths : "And you. Still In the gamer "I am," said Joe-Jesse. Jesse-Joe looked at Esme : "You you've got the say for me," he muttered. Again Maria laughed happily. "She may have you and welcome," she said, "because, you see, the lawyer-person who took away my fortune Insists that he did It solely In order to give me a better one his own." Which brought the tangle to a prop erly happy climax. FLOATING LAND IN HOLLAND Turf la Transported From Marshland i to Add to the Area of an Exist ing Town Site. Of all countries of Europe, Holland affords, perhaps, the best example of how the topography of a country af fects th habits of its people, and in fluences their lives, A considerable portion of the low country lies below the level of the sea, and It was to resist Its ernes invasions that the gi gantlc levoea, or dikes, were built Nevertheless, some of the flooded re gions, periodically inundated by the sea, have been water-logged lor cen turies, and on of these Is the prov ince of OveryssaL Perhaps ita quaint est spot Is the floating village ot Glethoorn. Taking advantage of the condition of the soil, these hardy Dutchmen have learned how to cut away sections of turf, and then float them to the spot where they are wanted. Considerable skill, of courser is necessary to escape a ducking, because the footing Is uncertain and slippery, and the marshland deceptive and treacherous. Poles, about 12 feet In length, are employed to shove off the floating home sites, which are cut away beyond the village limits and then guided to town. Some eight or ten men follow this work exclusively, and, naturally, are very adept In the handling of their poles and the "Is lands" In their charge. Olethoorn has been built up In this manner. Popular Mechanics Magazine. Whlppoorwills Work at Night. Nlghthawks and whlppoorwills work chiefly at night, when most of other birds are off duty, and at daybreak their good work Is tuken up by the swifts and swallows, says Nature Mag azine. These birds are provided with big snapnet mouths, and a they swing through the" air over wide areas of country, they scoop up almost unbe lievable numbers of Insects. Six hun dred were taken fmra the stomach of a single Arkansas nlglitliawk. Homing pigeons probably are closer to the human family than any other form of winged life. The birds have remarkable Intelligence.

Hearst that he is sending a contribution and that he will lend his personal support, com bined with the support of the Hearst papers, to the raising of funds for the erection of a Homer Davenport memorial at Silverton. Miss Sally Farnum, noted sculptoress of New York city, is at work on plans for the memorial, Ashland.

O THE RIGHT THING tthe RIGHT TIME Br MART MARSHALL DUFFEB SUMMER ETIQUETTE rr HERE la always the temptation la warm weatner to lei aown a am In matters of etiquette. It is easier to sit up properly at the table and man age one's knife and fork with car when it Is cool enough for comfort than when the mercury stands ninety In the shade and you are fairly melt ing with heat. The heat is enervating and has taken from you thut starch which is necessary to achieve really perfect manners. 1 But remember this summer that manners are far less difficult than they . used to be. One can now be suitably clothed for any time of day and still be comfortable. A man can, wear a Palm Beach suit suitable anywhere In extremely warm weather. When he had to stick to his heavy dark woolen suits then there may have been reason why he should go In shirt sleeves but with the Puhn Beach coat this Is not necessary.' Moreover It Is quite pos sible for him to wear an unstarched shirt and a belt strap, thus eliminat ing the necessity for suspenders, and this get-up passes muster for almost any Informal daytime wear In summer. Remember, too, that It is far better to wear a negligee soft collar and to wear It fastened than to wear a stiff collar undone at the neckband. (by MoClure Newspaper Syndloate.) O THE ROMANCE OF WORDS "HOOSIER" WHILE Indiana Is known throughout the country as the "Hoosler State," the origin of the term "hoosler" Is lost somewhere In the strange changes which came over the English language as spoken In this country during the eurly part of the last century. When the number of uneducated per sons and the different national ities which comprised tha United States at this time Is re membered, It li not strange that some words slipped Into the col loqulul tongue without proper parentage. Etymologists, however, are about equully divided as to whether "hoosler" Is a contrac tion of the phrase "Who's there?" commonly used as a challenge among the early settlers of the Middle West or whether It conies from "Husher," frequently lengthened to "hoosher," a nick name for the lumbermen who were skilled in hushing or still ing their opponents during an encounter. The word "whooser" appears In American literature as early as 1(159 and appears to be derived from the Scotch "wbusn" or "whisper," possibly with the added American mean ing connected with the lumber men, many of whom settled In the section now known as In diana. ( by Wheelsr Syndicate, Ine.) How Sects Grow. Probably many religious sects rest on Just as trlval differences in belief. Two men, prominent In church work were traveling through a sparsely set tled community when they noticed two churches immediately opposite each other. Stopping a native they Inquired why there were two churches fur ao few people. "Well. It's like this," he replied. "The church members on the right be lieve that Eve tempted Adum, the on on the left believe thut Adam was a rascal from the beginning." Coluuibua Dispatch.
