It is translated to mean "a star." Perhaps, after all, the steady | bright insistence of the stars may I lave some psychic reference to the | generally accepted conception of the I , Hettys of the world. Hetty is in reality the endearing p. diminutive given to the more dignified Hester, but so coldly austere is ?? the latter name that Hetty has come to be bestowed in baptism with com^ pleted disregard for its proper predict i ecessvr. 1 \ Hetty came into existence by a rather complicated evolution through several languages. The fair daughter of the tribe of Benjamin whose royalty Insured her peoples' safety, was called I Atossa. Her name in the Persian lanfcr'V, guage ? quite unpronouncable ? was combined with the Latin word for star "stella" and from the union, came the p: modern estrella. In the Septuagint, the Romans make this word Hestera 1? . or Esthera. * * In England, the "a" was dropped and Hester and Esther were bestowed as feminine names. The latter became Essie when the inevitable diminutive was - - ?3 ...... ' forthcoming, ana riesier swu place to Hetty, though the original form was usually preserved on the church regfsters. It was for America to gayly discard the proper appellative and substitute Hetty for all occasions.

O 1. il THE RIGHT THING j at the RIGHT TIME j By MARY MARSHALL DUFFEE i i ? ! IT IS a usual question for a young girl to write asking who should take the first piece of candy from a box i brought to her by a young man caller. | And when you come to think of it, there are a good many puzzling things involved in the problems connected j with a box of candy. j To begin with, if a man brings a girl a box of candy, she usually opens i it while he is present. She then passes ! it to any other women in the room, j then to the man, and then she helps i herself. If he, when she passes it, j holds It for her to take a piece, she j does so. If the candy Comes by mail or messenger, she opens it, of course, | und does not wait until he calls, even If she knows who the candy comes j from before opening it, and knows I likewise that the donor is to call. Perhaps the most important thing to remember in connection with the good manners connected with candy is that the person who always greedily eats candy and never buys it is very ill bred. It is the week-end custom for some men to bring home a box of candy. In some families there is one candy-loving member who lies in wait for the weekly sweets and eats as many pieces as she can get. She takes one every time the box is passed, and perhaps helps herself between times. Now it is quite all right to accept candy, if you like it, when it is passed. But you should not eat more than your ' share, and you snouiu noc eat even this much if you are not in the habit occasionally of standing treat yourself. You should, if you have a sweet tooth and eat other people's sweets, provide a box full of your own occasionally. Candy is one of the gifts that a man may give a woman?candy, flowers and hooks constitute the conventional trio. 1 Nobody wonders if the donor of a box I of candy to a girl is thinking of falling in love with her. Candy nowadays is quite the correct and accepted gift from anybody that can afford it. j And no girl need feel hesitant about accepting candy in this way. Of course, if she thinks a man cannot afford it. hut buys It for her simply because he thinks he ought to, she might suggest to him that he really should not indulge her sweet tooth so often. And never, never should a girl hint for sweets. There are some girls who cannot pass a candy store window with-1 out casting longing glances at them, and sometimes even commenting on their fondness for candy. No man should feel rude In ignoring these j symptoms. It is not necessary to write a note thanking a man for a gift of candy if he follows the gift shortly with a call. The thanks should not be forgotten, but they may be delivered ver1 hallv- ffonvriirhtl - ?Q- ^ ' = 1 A LINE 0' CH^fl By John Kendrick Bangt. OUT OF THE ASHES.

Right in front of the window was a tree and one limb hung low enough so that Mr. Possum with a little care could easily swiiuj himself from it and reach the pantry window. Now this might, have been safe enough if the limb hud been a good one, but it wasn't, and when Mr. Possum ran along it. before he could even get ready to swing, "crackle, snap," went the limb and down went Mr. Possum into a barrel of whitewash Mrs. Rabbit had ready to use on her little house. And that was not the worst of It. lie ran home so scared that he didn't remember running at all after it was over. Mrs. Possum didn't know him, but thought he was some terrible white creature come to carry off her children and slammed the door right in his face. ! All night Mr. Possum had to sit outside, the whitewash dripping from his coat, and in the morning, bright and early, all the little bunnies and Mr. -i ^ ? T*.. 1.1,!* -? 1 of on/linor UIK1 ?>irs.

"Mr. Rabbit and I and all the little bunnies tracked you, and you need not deny it," she said. Mr. Possum did not try to deny it, for what was the use? He was all covered with the white stuff. But he did try to tell Mr. and Mrs. Rabbit that it ? was all an accident, that he was just i running along the limb and off it broke 1 'V 1 1 A f K A 2111(1 lit; liuppciitu lu Kin iuii; 111c timitwash. ^ Mrs. Possum had found out it was her husband by this time, of course, and she came out to say that what Mrs. Rabbit could think they wanted of her whitewash was more than she could tell. Mrs. Rabbit wiggled her nose and looked very wise. "Well," she said, "if that is true, Mr. Possum, that it was all an accident, why, of course, that Is all there is to it, but you must admit that it did look suspicious." Mr. Possum admitted that it did and off ran the Rabbit family for home, but It was a long time before Mr. Possum could go abroad again, for the white coat he wore was to be plainly seen in the daytime or at night.
