She Married An Average Man BY ZOE BECKLEY

What does a woman do when this happens: "Jim, dear, Athena says she won't take 'no' for an answer about ier masked ball. Couldn't you reconsider your refusal like an adorable lamb, and let's go and have a good time and forget business bothers?"

Silence for an entire minute while pipe puffs ominously. Then: '"I don't wish to be disagreeable, Ann. but I am not going." "Why not, Jimmie?" "Because I don't like balls, I don't like Athena Hast and I don't like that crowd of near-highbrows and self-satisfied poseurs she runs with." "But, Jim, darling, you've never met them. What makes you call them that?" "I don't have to meet them. I know their kind. They're a lot of free thinkers and free lovers and free " "Jim! 1 won't have you speak ot my friends that way. Mrs. Hast is as tine and kind a woman as ever lived." "My idea of fineness is not a woman who lives most of the time away from her husband and who schools young wives in rebellion." "You know perfectly well, Jim, that you are misstating things. Independence is not rebellion, and freedom in love is not free love. It is only when a woman is independent of all men that she can have a free choice for marriage. That is what freedom in love means freedom to love for love's sake and not for support." (Silence for the space of three puffs. My husband was evidently thinking this over. Jim is not altogether hidebound and intolerant. It is only that lie has accepted his theories of lifeready made, like his shoes.) "These people change wives and husbands with the same nonchalance as they change their dwelling places.

You told me yourself that the portrait painter you met at Mrs. Hast's is divorced and that the chap who does pictures for magazines does not live with his wife and child." "Which proves nothing at all," said I. "except that they were unhappy and utterly hampered in their work for themselves and their service to the world living together, and happy, useful people separated. If some of the couples we used to know in Centerville had dissolved partnership instead of fighting together and having all sorts of scandals they would be more respectable, to my mind." "Your mind, Ann, has undergone a great change since we came to New York." "Yes, thank goodness, it has. I am proud to think I can grow. I would be ashamed, Jim, to hold the same views this year that I held ten years ago. Especially when it comes to things I was asked to take on faith, like marriage, religion and politics, without using my intellect at all. Yea, dear, I have learned, and learned rapidly; and I have much yet to learn. One thing in particular is a problem to mo." "And what is that, may I ask?" "Whether it is worth while trying to live my own life and losing my love and my home in the process," I answered slowly. Jim sat still a moment without moving, then laid down his pipe and cair.e over to my chair. "There, little woman," he said, softly, kissing rne, "you've said ir. Love and home are woman's dearest possessions. Nothing not even work; not even brilliant friends takes the place of them. Come, dear, be reasonable. Don't go to that Hast ball." I said nothing. I am not happy. I wish I knew what to do. (To be continued.)

name; everyone is familiar with his "Lady Clare." If Clara would have the fullest benefits from the name she bears, she must wear her talismanic Jewel, the carnelian. This warm-colored stone supplies the contrast to the rather chill haughty beauty associated with the name. A carnelian gives courage to its wearer and is especially to be desired by one who uses her voice as singer or public speaker, as it insures strength to the vocal organs. Furthermore it protects its wearer from injury, though to dream of it signifies impending misfortune. Tuesday is Clara's lucky day and 5 her fortunate number.

Fact? about your name: Its history; its meaning; whence It was derived; Its Ftpnif Icanoe; your lucky day and lucky Jewel. BY MILDRED MARSHALL

Clara, It may be readily surmised by I anone familiar with Latin, is derived j from the adjective, meaning bright, j clear, or famous. As a musical and i ever-charming feminine name, it has j kept its significance, though the steps ; of its history are many and devious. The Romans used the name Clarus ' as a masculine name, and its vogue ; spread in Europe. St. Claims is revered as the first Bishop of Nantes,, in Brittany, in A. D. ISO. Another! Clarus, a native of Rochester, was a ' hermit near Rouen, who was mur- J dered at the instigation of a wicked! woman, who had vainly paid her ad-; dresses to him. The name then

changed to Clair, and, combined with a "Siint". named two of the most noted families in the history of Great Britain, besides the various "de St. Clairs" of Franc. In Britain, it speedily was contracted to Sinclair, and subsequently as Clare, named the County Clare of Ireland, a tract of land presented by Edward I as a wedding present to the son of the famous Red de Clare. Spanish lore has it that the first Clara known to history was the daughter of Charlemagne, but the real origin seems to have been in Italy where the first Chiara, as the Italians call her, was a devoted disciple of Sa. Francis, and under his direction, established an order of women following his rale, and called "poor Clares" or sisters of St. Clara. The French call the name Claire. The Breton forru is Skleara and Finns have contracted it. to Lara. Clara and its derivatives has been a favorite with the poets whoso verse to the lovely maids who have borne the name are almost too numerous and exquisite to permit the selection of ono. Tennyson has perhaps written the most charming lyric around the.
