It means lively, hav- j i tat been derived from the Latin vita . ^Signifying life, and was used by the ; Reman Christians tor express their 1 hopes of eternity. ' i The first feminine name formed from vita is Vivia, a name made fa- ' none by Vivia Perpetua. the noble mm? matron of Carthage, whose martyrdom is one of the most touchSag histories of the early church. Iler many votaresses gave vogue to her i name. < In later Roman days Viviana came to be popular thrcugli a Christian j i maiden of that name who was put to ( , death by a Roman governor on the J i charge that She had destroyed the dfefct of one of his eyes by magic. } Much later a church was erected over ! her remains. Her fame and name iin- ! i ^ered, and appears prominently again j In ^iforte d'Arthur" when Vivianna is the enchantress of King Arthur s | court j CGotland took over the name of j Ivian, applying it as both a masculine and feminine name. France adopt-. ed the masculine form as Vivien and straightway formed the now-popular feminine Vivienne. England has always favored Vivian and America received and popularized the name un- | d?r that spelling. Viviana is the favored form in Spain and Italy, the iat- < ter country still employing the early * Roman Vivia. i v Vivian's talismanic gem is the life- .< giving ruby. 4ts inextinguishable flame | j promises her dauntless courage, bodily I health and strength, and dispels evil , *9lrits. To" dream of it signifies unex-.l i peeted guests. Friday is her lucky day and three her Hucky number. The lily, i idgnifying purity, is her flower. i (Copyright) , .

There are many parallels between golf and life, which is doubtless the reason that so many people are devoted to it. Coif, of course, is a game, and only a game. Yet there are many of its followers who can see only the advantage of winning, and who come in sour and ill-tempered if they lose. Others, \*hile they try to win, get just as much fun out of it if they lose. And they never stamp on their clubs throw them away,-or swear at the caddies. It Is very important to win in anything. But it is more important to get your allowance of fun out of it as you go along. Sitting wheezily in any rich man's club you will find old gentlemen who wanted to win more than anything else, and who did win fortunes, but lost their health and their happiness - A? i. A 1 !i-l. ~ 11 i.U ~ J ? in uie euuri. aiiu, wiui an oieir muuey, you can set them down as losers. There is good sportsmanship in all human effort. There are things the good sportsman will not do, even to win. One of them is cheating; another is becoming so absorbed in the pursuit of victory that he forgets everything else as he goes along. John Burroughs, who probably never had more than the necessities of life in all his existence, got full measure of enjoyment that was denied to many, v\ho made a thousand times as much money. Incidentally, he was a very successful man, for he added to the sum of human knowledge. Win if you can. Get a fortune if yoa can. Money means independence, and the ability to do good in the world.. But never forget that there is enjoyment as well as trouble in life, and that if you are not too intent on winaing what the world calls success, you will be happier as you go along, and stand just as good a chance of making pour life worth while, and the world better off because you lived in it.

The value of the raisin as a food is by no means confined to its percent age of carbohydrate, for analysis of the ash shows that it is rich in many jf the elements essential to health. The raisin contains calcium, magnesijm, potassium, sodium, phosphorus, chlorine, sulphur and iron in form ready for prompt assimilation. Raisins form important part of the dietary in some of the leading health institutions of the country and in several noted sanitariums are prescribed specifically in certain cases. The raisin is the richest of dried fruits in the mln sral elements of Iron and phosphorus ind but very few of the frul^i and regetables contain a larger portion ol organic iron, lacking to greater 01 less extent In many American dietiries. 1 , ?

We are going to slip off some day soon and get married, but want to send wedding cards. Wilt you kindly tell me how they should be worded?" To begin with, do not attempt anything original or informal. It is quite all right to announce an engagement in an original way. hut the wedding announcement should he entirely formal. In most cases the announcements should be sent out in the name of the bride!s parents, or those who stand in the place of a parent in case the bride is an orphan, or an aunt, uncle or grandparent. If possible, have these announcements engraved and send them out the day of the marriage as soon as it is over. Have all envelopes addressed and stamped and ready to send out directly. All' announcements should he sent at exactly the same time. Here is the usual form: Mr. and Mrs. John Brown have the honor to announce the marriage of their daughter Anne < to Mr. James Smith Jones on Thursday, May the eighth nineteen hundred "and twenty-two at St. Thomas' church New York. If It is a grandparent, sister or brother whose name need not be the same as the bride, then in place of the single word Anne, on the fourth line should be inserted "Miss Anne Brown." In the unusual event that the con /-tracting persons have no near relatives to send these announcements they may send an announcement worded thus: Mr. James Smith Jones and Miss Anne Brown have the honor , to announce ' their marriage on Thursday. May the eighth etc. xt you do not feel that you can afford engraved announcements the best J thing to do would be ta write letters on the day of the wedding, to be posted immediately afterwards, telling your-nearest friends of the event, but wording them as you would any other friendly note. It is a good idea to send an announcement to the society editor of your local paper also, because the chances are that the paper will get news of the event, and surely yon want to do everything in your power to make their notice of the event accurate. There is no reason why any one who wishes to do so should not have this, quiet sort of marriage without a previously announced engagement; however. the fact is that .?j>ciety girls seldom do. nor do persons who occupy a rather high position -socially, unlesa, of course, there is parental objection and tne event is in tne nature oi an uiopmuaent.

It's not the pack that you onrry on your back ^Nor the rifle on your shoulder. Nor the five inch crust of khaki-colored dust That makes you fee! your limbs are growing older; And it's not the hike on the hard turnpike That drives away your smile. Nor the socks of s:s*ers that raise the blooming blisters? It's the last long mile. ?Plattsburgh Marching Song. Stringing out from the suburban transit terminals of New York every Sunday and holiday goes the army of khaki-dad hikers. There may he an automobile for every twenty of the country's population, but a host of city folks disprove the theory of a future leg-enfeebled citizenry and are learning to walk ail over again. To the more casual minded, the hike is just exercise, but to those who catch its real significance the hike means a great deal more. It is the cheapest form of recreation and therefore appeals to those living in crowded districts and unable to avail themselves of the mor-e expensive amusements. And these people, be it noted, are just those the country is so anxious to have spread out and settled in the farming sections. The hike, indeed, has possibilities as a real starter for the "back to the farm" movement. j Doughboy and Boy Scout Lead Way Just a brief survey of the rollicking rroups which move off from the outlying terminals on holidays establishes a few general types. There is the ex-service man and his friends *?rhi\ it- ?11 h on w Kim fK a etAntr U liu >vil| Lira l Ll i/lll 111 Li 1 LUC OLVIJ of more serious excursions on the muddy roads of France. He tightens a strap here and another there on the blanket roll adjustment or the "shelter half," in which the commissary is packed for the mid-day feast by the roadside. Expert directions come from him- on the method of slinging the pack so it will not feel so heavy or interfere with the free body movement. He will pass along the information, gained In his army days, of how that same pack was evolved after numerous experiments to find the easiest way of carrying, the heaviest load. With results he now compliments, but which he characterized when a doughboy as a "blankety blank total failure " Then there are the boy scout parties, adept at everything pertaining ;o "shanks mare" traveling and woodcraft The ex-service man and the 5oy scout are pioneers in the hiking ?arae. Listen to one of them right jff the train and making ready for a twelve mile jaunt: "Get that canteen over to the side, Jimmie, and it won't keep bouncing oft your leg every step. Is it filled? Well, then, sve drink. How about the eats? Let's check 'em off. You got the spuds, Bill; the bacon Jimmie. Who has the coffee and the Borden tin cow?" "Right here" announces a freckled comrade of the road, patting his knapsack. "Snitched the mocha and the can of milk when Sis wasn't looking." "Well, then, let's go!" snaps the commander of the expedition. This party Is traveling light fcr real distance. Another must expect to make a shorter hitch or else be counting greatly on its power of endurance. Perhaps the camp is not far i)ff because the group is equipped for an over-night stay^with heav^ blanket rolls, hatches, lanterns, canvas waterpails, rubber ponchos, kettles, pots, new fangled firestand, etc., etc. The blankets are laid out for a better packing of the bags and cans of food. When the party commences to load up r'-e members bristle all over with camp tools and equipment. Back to the Farm The veteran from the crowded city tenement has found a new territory to roam and one almost unknown to hie He is introducins them to this newly discovered land and Leaching them how to be independent of any transportation but their own good legs and of any subsistence but what they can carry and vprepare. "Walk, and cook your own," is his motto. Who will say the leaven thus fermenting in the city crowds will not hear fruit in a keener appreciation of country delights, especially as these are added to by increased comforts i?n the farm. With his radio hitched up. the farmer listens in on the best entertainment the country has to >ffer. Modern home devices wipe out aiany hardships formerly imposed upon isolated dwellers. There is, in short, a rapid cutting down of the iifferenlial between farm and city ife. In the meantime, knowledge must ->recede a true appreciation ?>f what he country holds, and this is \fchat he hike supplies. There is more appeal in one nipple tree in blossom than n reams of printed matter put out to nduce the citizen of the city to liange his abode to the country. The likers constitute a growing army, equipped with bacon, spuds, coffee md tin cow for merely a day's outing aut nevertheless seeing sights that nake them yearn to he anions them ill the time. It is not too much r lasume that the army may one tcruit the open place#. 4
