VIVIANTtlE
charming name of Vivian is almost
the equivalent of the adjective
"vivacious." 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

incidentally. he never gets any fun
out of the game.
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

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.

Raisin's Value as Food.
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.

By MARY MARSHALL DUFFEE
"A thing of custom?'tis no other."?
iShakespeare.
I uT AM about to be married," is the
I ^ lAnf oto r*+C? h?kP
wuy "lie l*Ui i opunuciH giMtio
query, "hut we have not announced
our engagement, as we wish to give
our frieir. _ a genuine surprise. 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.

Farmofs in the cotton belt should i
have a program that will insure t
abundant food and forage crops, am? i
plenty of meat and bread for home t
use, so that "money crops" may be i
raised at less expense and the cash c
received for them so much in their s
pockets, or Sanks, to be saved, or i
spent, as may be desired. s
To pAit farming on a sound business
basis, we must look first tt> the con- c
servation and improvement of soils. S
The farmer shou'd see the importance 1
of making preparations for speeding, f
up production next year, and should c
lay plans at this time for cover crops i
of legumes or rye, to protect the soil
from lea chin j and washing during the r
heavy rains of winter and early s
spring, and to furnish organic matter, u
which our soils require. He should h
bear in mind that lime is necessary to e
success with legumes and other crops, s
and that most of our soils n^ed lime, v
An application of two tons of pul- 8
verlzed limestone per acre can bring
about astonishing results. v

HIKING DOWN -THE
LONG BROWN PATH
Vacationists With Shelter Tents
and Tin Cow Learning to
Walk All Over Again,
Oh! 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

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#.
