Hetty is in reality the endearing

the tribe of Benjamin whose royalty

combined with the Latin word for star
"stella" and from the union, came the

the Romans make this word Hestera

In England, the "a" was dropped and
Hester and Esther were bestowed as
feminine names. The latter became Essie

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

IT WAS Mr. Owl who gave the wood I

So when all the animals both great

it was to be a very, very hard winter.
I That, of course, meant that they
| must begin right away to lay up
j stores for the cold, snowed-In days,
j and everyone bestirred himself at once
to do this.
Even Mrs. Rabbit, who seldom made
! much preparation for the winter days,
j began to do up preserves, all the small
bunnies were sent out with their basj

Mrs. Squirrel, to encourage her

gave her a big basketful of walnuts,
which Mrs. Rabbit pickled, and some
say those were the first walnuts ever

Mr. Possum was specially interested
when ho found that Mrs. Itabbit was,
among other things, putting up a great
deal of canned corn, and he decided
that when it was dark he would just
take a peek into lier pantry wmuow
and see how many cans she liad.
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.

in front of the house looking at him.
Mrs. Rabbit wanted to know what he
meant by carrying off some of her
whitewash. "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

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.
