American women have always had
an aversion to anything white and

seems to us as if there is something
not quite neat about wearing a navy

and a white blouse that shows the
dork shadow of the navy slip ba-

such prejudice. Now the light or

FRUIT on nuavus'
Oliilll fastidious housewives
make a rule always to serve
fruit on some sort of green
leaves. Grape lcsvds are very uso‘
ful for this purpose. and the sub-
urbsnits usually has room inevsn
a small garden spot for s grape
vine that will provide leaves for
this purpose. lf you have no
bushes or vines in your own gar-
den for this purpose you may be
able to gct thcm from some near-
by grovo or woods. if you like
you may pick quite a stack of
leaves and keep them in a cool
place to llsn for scvornl days.
Virginia creeper leaves are
much admired for this purpose.
But remember that the Virginia
creeper is n iive-laaved vine that.

nishing fruit and carried them
home. only to learn to her sorrow
that they' were leaves of poison
ivy. Hundreds of little blisters on
her hands taught her her mistake.
Virginia creeper leaves turn a gor-
geous rhd later in the summer.
and they are most attractive when
just half green and half red.
There are even some weeds that
have very good leaves for this
purpose. They should be selected
with some cars. for each leaf
should-be perfect. and of course it
should be well washed before be-
ing used_}or this purpose.
One cannot use fruit for decora-
tive purposes so much in summer
as in winter, for the reason that
when left in a warm living or din-
ing room it soon spoils. However.
you may put fruit on the breakfast
table in the natural state. cultivat-
ing the habit in your family for
eating fruit "in the skin." There
could be nothing prettier for a
breakfast rent rpiocs than a dish
of assorted frui . laid on fine green
leaves. When you can manage to
do so. it is nice to use the leaves
that belong to the fruit—and this .

ZINAIOA
MINI“) of the god. is the
name Zenaida. It comes from
the ancient Greek and means
“daughter of Zeus." Though it has
never belonged to other than pagan
deities and has at no time named a
saint. it is very popular in all Euro-
pean countries. especially among the
Russians. Of late years. France has
made it one of her favorite feminine
names and it has crossed the Chan-
nel into England and thence to
America. .
Zenaidn has a distinguished an-
esatry which includes the lsaurian
Emmror Zeno. At the beginning of,
the fourth century. it suffered a set~
back in popu ty since the Church
forbade the be towel of names com-
lhk from heathen gods. But. there
was a saint named Zeno. martyred
under Gallienus. who restored it to
Christian nomenclature. '
0f the feminine Versions. there
have been many beside Zenaida. The
brilliant Queen of Palmyra was
named tenable. Her romantic his-
tory spread the use of- all names
descending from Zeus. When'she
was brought‘s prisoner to Rome. her
name was perpetuated through her
daughtfiw and one descendant. the
Bishop of Milan. carried the name
into England.
The star '19)th is Zenaids's

Once more she sang. her voice

“But my fsisc lover stole the rose

Alma. gave one indignant upward
glance and picking up her music
turned into a. side path that led
directly to the bungalow.

"Of course. I ahan't mind. mother.

‘ "How could you. dear, unless you

. A .wlstful little smile curved Alma'a

A tall form filled the doorway. a
