ing a bont nearby, made up bis mind
that nH be bud boon swimming for n
long time be would tnko life ensy; bo
he hopped Into tbo bont and called
to the Ducks on tbo pond to come
along.
"I will bo tbo captain," explained
old Air. Drake, "and you youngsters
can be the crew. I do not mean to
work any more, for why Hbould 1
A'e6ooecrito Me boat:
Bvviin when I can Hall about the pond
In a boat?"
In a few minutes be bud nil the
Ducklings on the pond In the boat,
and n stiff breeze sprung up Just then,
and away he went, bobbing over the
jKrnd as the wind waves hit the boat.
Now, it happened that Mr. Vox was
eddtlen among the bushes by the bank
m tbo opposite side of the pond,
rwntchlng for the Ducks that bo was
mire would be swimming about, and
rwhon the wind blew the boat, with
tho captain and bis crew, to that sld.?
fclr. Vox could hardly wait quietly, so
Kure was he of having u fenst.
"A wholo boatload of young Duck
ilngul" bought hungry Mr. Fox.

' BEKNICE
'"O EUNICE Is an auspicious name.
--' It means "bringing victory" and
is one of the many names derived
from tho Greek "nlke," signifying vic
tory. Nike was tbo goddess of vie
toty and named tbo Images which
udwrned the prows of tho warships of
Gnscce. The famous Winged Victory
Is tho largest of the Nlkes.
lAmilnlne names ending In "nlke"
fwwe very popular with the Unccks,
totfTonlke was used In early times In
Macedonia; and was sometimes spelled
Pkcrenlke. The princesses of tbo two
Greek kingdoms of Syria nnd Egypt
favored Ueronlko nnd there nro In
numerable lnstunces of Its use by

1 "Whoever was In sucn luck before? I
would not bother with old Mr. Drake,
but bow I wish I had a dozen mouths
and paws I I could have Ducklings
for dinner fry a week I"
Mr. Fox grew hungrier every see
ond, and when the boat touched the
bank, without waiting to find out If
the Ducks were going to get out of It,
he mnde n spring for the bont, expect
ing to land right In the midst of the
Ducklings.
Hut alas and alack for all well-laid
plunsl they often go nwry; and so It
was with the well-laid plan which Mr.
Fox had, for when be struck the boat,
out Hew nil the Ducks, and even old
Captain Drake was as spry as the
others. Fright mnde him forget his
old ngc, and be flapped hjs wings and
hwny bo swam.
And where do you think Mr. Fox
was all this time? Under the boat,
trying to get free, for ho hit the side
and over It went, with him under It.
After a while ho mnnnged to swim out,
and there, far off In the distance,. Mr,
Fox saw bis dronmed-of dinners.
it was no use to swim after them,
for they were close io the bank, and
he knew that the farmer's gun might
put tin end to his ever ngaln being
hungry If be was seen near the farm,
so he swam for the bank and sadly
walked townrd home, n hungrier but
a wiser fellow.
"A duck on laud Is worth more than
a boatful," thought Mr. Fox, "and If
I should meet one this minute here in
the woods, even if it was tough old
Mr. Drake, I would like to see It get
away."

FOR TIIE CHAPERON
Air nnd manner lira more expressive
tlinn words, HIclianlBon.
TF YOU were asked to net as chap-
eron for a party of young girls and
boys would you know Just what you
ought to do If you undertook tjint re
sponsibility? A chnperon need not be married
but when nn unmarried chaperon Is
chosen Bho should bo n person of
dignified npponranco and of nmturo
years. If the chaperon Is married, she
need not bo accompanied by her hus
band, oven when the pnrty Is In tho
evening; though If you are asking n
married woman to perform this serv
ice for you you should, of course, In
clude nn Invitation to her husband
also.
If It Is a theater pnrty, she should
bo given tbo best place. If the guests
are seated In a box then she sits In
one of tho front sents. At a dance a

frequently In the history of Chris

France liked the name, though It
scorns to lack all trnco of French In
Huoneo. Tho peasants of Normandy
created Ilerenlco and bestowed It upon
ineir (inugmors. Tho French Vero

said to be corrupt forms of the name,

contention.

handsome "movie" star, are known to
patrons of tho motion picture houees.
She has shown her acting ability In
some of the more recent big produc
tions which have been shown. Thli
a one of her latest pictures.
cbuperon may dance n few dances,
but It would be rather out of keeping
with her responsibility to dnnco all
or even tbo majority of the dances.
She need not, of course, watch tho
young women In the party as if she
were a duenna,' but she should mnko
a point to bo In evidence nil through
the party. At n small dance tho
guests who know her should mukc It
a point to present the other young
people to her. If she Is chaperoning
n certain young woman at a larger
dnnco then they should emphatically
present their escorts to her. Need
less to say, the chaperon always re
mains until tbo last guest or dancer
has gone. If you do not feel like re
maining until the "wee sum' hours" do
not accept nn Invitation to chaperon
n dnnco, for since tho wnr Is over
dances nro continued much Inter than
they hnve been, and unless tho chnp
eron hns been especially enjoined by
the parents of her charges, or unless
thoy are very young, she should not
object to this Into dnnclug.
One of the most dlfllcult tusks that
nny chnperon ever has to perform Is
tiut of "calling down" ono of her
charges. Occasionally, of course, sotno
daring young person will Indulge In
ono of the dnnco steps that ore looked
upon uskance by proper folks. But
If tho chaperon herself has not
dnnced for n decado or so she must
mnko allowances for the chnnges that
huvo taken plnco In tho wny young
persons dance. It Is extremely Ill-
bred to call a dancer down conspicu
ously. In most cases It Is bottw to
wait until tho dnnco Is through and
tho dancers have left tho floor and
then to make the request for a cbungo
In mode of dancing quite contlden
tlnlly.
