Instead he said a hasty good-day and hurried home to his wife. "My dear," Bobby said to Mrs. Bobolink in an anxious voice, "do you see anything queer about my appearance?" She looked him over carefully. "Why, no!" she answered at last. "Why do you ask me such an odd question?" "Well," said Bobby, "Mr. Frog, the tailor, is always staring at me in the oddest fashion and snickering as if he saw something that amused hin." "Don't worry about that simple ton 1" Mrs. Bobolink cried. - ."You look a great deal better than he docs. And as for your voices, there's really no comparison. Yours is one of the finest in Pleasant Val ley; but Ferdinand Frog's is noth ing but a croak. It's even worse than old Mr.: Crow's 1" After that Bobby Bobolink felt better. He knew that his wife was particular. And if she said he looked all right then he was sure he could have no cause to be un easy. "It must be only Mr. Frog's queer eyes,"' he said to Mrs. Bobolink. "I've been thinking that he saw something strange about me. But I must be mistaken." Nevertheless, the very , next time Bobby met Mr. Frog the tailor burst out laughing, right in hisjace. And . again his eyes rolled from Bobby's head to his feet, and back again, in a most unpleasant leer. "What on earth do you see to laugh .at?" Bobby Bobolink de manded. "Tee-heel" Mr. Frog giggled "Don't you know?" "No, I don't!" Bobby snapped. . "It's your clothes 1" Mr. Frog told him. "You've got them on upside down!" Copyright, Grosset & Dunlap.

Romance in Origin Of Superstitions Brides Lifted Over the Threshold. In a much-talked-about, recent novel the doctor of Gopher Prairie says to his bride, "There! I meant to have you lifted over the thres hold." Which shows tt the old custom of lifting brides over the threshold when they first enter their new home still lingers among us, as it is, also, a feature of rural wed dings in England and Scotland. Ths mixing up in the minds of our re mote ancestors of spiritual and ma terial things caused the threshold to be regarded in a pecularly mystic manner. As its name implies it prevented the grain, the body of the, corn-spirit from sliding out when the chaff flew away at threshing time. It was that part of the entrance to the house over which all must pass that entered it. Consequently there was a constant struggle to facilitate the entrance of good influences and ki;p out the spirits of evil by "doctor ing" the threshold. v Cauls were buried under their neighbor's thres holds, personal relics calculated tc facilitate the entrance of malign in fluences.

On Walpurgis night the German peasant still lays flowers and brunches upon his threshold to ke:p out the witches; and chips from a threshold used to be thought a val uable ingredient in making smoke for the fumigation of cattle. So as no one knows what witches or evil spirits may have done to the thres holds, it is better that a bride, at the critical moment of her entrance her new home, should be lifted over it to avoid contagion from the malign influences from touching the possibly-infected door-sill.

This girl may be shy; in which case she should be treated gently many of us remember what the or deal of "playing a piece" before even the small "public" of the parlor was, in childhood. She should be told that shyness is a form of self-consciousness, which she should strive to overcome, never letting it stand in the way of courtesy which playing the piano when asked, is. Where It Started The Pronunciation of "Arkansas." The word "Arkansas" comes from an Indian word, "Kansas," meaning "smoky water," and the French pre fix "arc," meaning a bow. The first part being French, the French pro nunciation was applied to the word, resulting in the pronunciation "Ar kansaw," But so much discussion and misunderstanding grew up, that in 1880 the state legislature passed a law making "Arkansaw" the cor rect pronunciation. This is prob ably the only case on record of the pronunciation of a word being fixed by statute. Copyright, 1921, Wheeler Syndicate, Ine.
