Just that. My roadside in the summer offers a good example of how knickers ought not to be worn.

Such a get up is tryim to any woman. The trOuble with knickerbookers. doubtless. was that as soon'as women got at all used to the idea of wearing them at all, they found it too easy to wear them for a general all-day attire when. or: on an informal holiday. For: sports wear, however. they have retained prestige only for cer- tain definite purposes. At most of the country clubs women would not think of wearing them for golf and it its amusing to think that any woman ever did appear on the ten- nis court in them. But for 'moun- tsiu climbing and hiking they still. retain their correctness. And as| wtbbbm women real- costume knickers carry with them much smartness. Never never should they be worn with silk stock- ings or thin stockings of any sort. if your legs are quite slender you may wear ribbed woolen stockings or heavy ribbed ilsle stockings if you prefer them. Otherwise you are wise to wear some sort of putes or high boots. The mountain climber shown in the sketch wears knickers . with buttoned cuffs golf stockings and leather boots that lace at the front.

Being best man at weddings was his specialty. In fact. so popular was he among his friends in this capacity that during the course of a year he got as many leaves of absence from the adios for weddings as the once boy for grandmothers' funerals. And his reputation remained untarnished until that occasion when his best friend. Arthur Westoott“ almost married his best girl. Cynthia Ger~ rish. Arthur was actually scheduled to merry Esme Long. a pretty little flapper but one season out. When plans for the wedding were brought forward Arthur immediately wrote down Henry for best man and felt a load slip from his shoulders when Henry accepted. It was particu- larly fitting that Henry should be best man on this occasion as the girl he was quite wild about. Cyn- thia Gerrish. was Demo's closest friend and would consequently oc- cupy the post of mald-of-honor. Now Henry always made it a point to give up the entire day to a wedding. There were always so many little things that an extra man around could dud to do. And this time was no exception. Par~ ticularly when Esme took it into her head that she would like to run out into the country to see a bed-ridden aunt and show her the wedding dress before the rehearsal at two o'clock. Would Henry be willing to take her there? Henry not only would but did. using Bean's own roadster at her suggestion. They arrived without diiliculty. Esme made her cell. and Henry stepped on the starter for the return trip. But the starter pro- duced no results. Esme could not at first imagine what could be the trouble until she mailed that her battery was completely run down. There had been enough Juice to get them there and that was all. It took Henry the better part of an hour to locate a garage after tramping various country roads they had traversed since leaving the state highway. Esme had felt sure there were no telephones anywhere around and had made Henry prom- ise to send someone back for her and then go on himself to look after the rehearsal until her own arrival. "You‘re so efficient, Henry," she flattered him. “that you can explain and get a lot of the details over for which my presence isn't necessary.

Two hours later a restless bridal ' minim the bride were uthered in church wondering whatever had happened to Esme. Henry was most nervous of all as the othcs seemed to think that he should not have come home without Esme in. spite of her orders. At last. hoping to dish-act their thoughts. l-Ienry suggested that they go through the ceremony letting Cynthia take Demo's place. “I feel sure she will some any moment." he said desperately, "sad the rest of us might as well be ‘09 ting letter perfect in our parts." So the old minister. who had been reading in his study. was summoned end. being slightly deaf and a men to whom all ilappers looked alike. did not altogether get the gist ad the matter regarding the absent bride. One by one the responses were given to his reading of the service. and Henry, for all the ab- surdity of it. felt a Jealous pang at Cynthia occupying the position she was even in pretense. Suddenly the minister paused. "I suppose it is all right if you're mer- ried this afternoon. pIoVided I re- marry you tonight? You see, here are the witnesses and—" Cynthia clutched Arthur's arm. then gazed wildly at Henry. ”Mer- ried? Have you married me to—to Arthur Weetcott?" At this moment Esme burst in upon them. "Henry Jenkins,“ she began. half-laughing, half-scolding, "don't ever be so darned edicient useful if you'd simply low that man how to find me! But you wrote it down and he lost the paper and has been wandering all over creation trying to and me!” “And Henry Jenkins—this was your idea! My taking Esme’s plus and now I am m-m—msrried to a man I don't—" “Wait a moment. my dear," said the minister. Just waking up to the situation. “You aren't married in this state until I pronounce you man and wife. Which I haven't done. I always pause at that point. I am near-sighted. but now I realise you are not Miss Esme." After explanations were over and the rehearsal had ended. Cynthia slipped her am through Henry's. "Don't look so glum." she bade him. ”How can I help it?" grogned Henry. "I sure came n WM“!!! things up. You'll never want to marry such a simpleten!" "On the contrary," Cynthia.

Facts about your name; Its history; Its meaning; whence it was de- rived; its significance: your lucky day and lucky Jewel. M AY HE youthful name of May is peculiarly dillicult to discuss. There are two explanations of its existence. Some etymologiste claim that it is the final contraction and endearment of Margaret. and translate it to mean "a pearl." But though May is undoubtedly one of the innumerable form: of Margaret. coming through the Scotch by stages of evolution from Msisis and Msidie. it is so much simpler and more logical to believe that May is really one of the calendar names bestowed in honor of‘tbe fifth month of the year. It is the name of springtime and blossoms and nesting birds. and. as such. has a place of distinction all its own. It has no antecedents. under this theory. and cannot be contracted more than it already is. The fed for naming babies by the ~———"' fi- name of the month in which they were born probably brought May into vogue. The sudden spring to fame of April as a feminine name is another instance. and August is so honored by Augusta. It is a curious fact that no other language has an equivalent for May. whether she is a derivative of Msr~ garet or a separate entity. Only the Scotch. which evolved her by the former theory .poeeess her—eves England had to accept her ss a new name in the language. Because of her possible duel origin.

THE RADIO PRIMER One Daily Fact For Listeners The Reinartz Coil is a variety of spider web coil (which was described recently in the Primer). invented by the well-known radio amateur. Mr. John Rainer-ts. and used in the Rain- arts tuner. a receiving circuit which has been extremely popular among American radio enthusiasts for years. The Reinartz coil is not really one cell. but two. It is wound in the spider web fashion. on a disk of cardboard or fiber in which radial slits have been out part way in from ' the edge toward the center. The wire is wound in and out through these elite so that the final coil has more or less the shape of a fist din- ner plate or a pancake. The two cells are wound one after the other on this slitted cardboard. just as though it was one coil being wound on. but cut in two in the center. This brings the two cells close together and concentric. The coupling between them is very “close." which means that the maxi- mum ot energy passes from one to the other. As arranged in the Reinsrts cir- cuit one of these coils sets to pass the energy received hen the eu- tonne circuit on to the vacuum tube. The other coil is so connected that itfeedebsckamrtoftheoutputof' the tube to the input side of the tube.
