" HELPING HAND HINTS FOR THE ‘HOME
By MARION HAKL.AND
Would Learn Millinery
I should like to take up millinery this
fall and learn to become a trimmer of
li^ts. Would some experienced person
please write me particulars? I hesitate to
start, not knowing any one from whom l
car. get Information. I shall be most
thankful for advice. ELLEN T. M."
It would not he upraetlcable to give
SOU advice in full through our small Cor
ner. But we have accomplished milliners
upon our rolls of active members. Will
one or more of them write to me for the
address of "E. T. M." and confer with ,
her by mail or in person?
While waiting to hear from them apply i
at the Young Woman's ChrlEtlan associa- j
tion for counsel. This most worthy or- ,
gantzutlon (rightly named!) maintains ,
i lasses in many branches of women’s I
work and is willing and able to direct any ;
woman dependent upon her own exertions
into the right avenue of useftlTness.
Helpful Twain

more ’items,' although we know a great ^
rrany more. If you care for them you j
might let us know and we will gladly i
send them. I

The housewifely twain who have con- J
iributed useful items, clearly expressed j
ind practical, need not hesitate to send i

Esperanto Helps
The very able communications relative
o Esperanto, which appeared In a recent
ssue of the Corner kftve excited lively c
nterest In intelligent readers. They will i
iall with joy the following letter upon i
he same subject. The particulars here i
set down will be new to most of us, and i
highly instructive to students of philology:
"A vocabulary of Esperanto consists of
'root words,’ to which one must add the
proper grammatical ending to give the
svord its sense as a noun, an adjective,
m adverb, as the case may be. Thus,
suppose we take the root ‘bon’—which
on tains the idea good, and add to it the
idjective ending A. We then have bona,
ho Esperanto work for good. Suppose we
tdd tlie noun ending O to the same root;
he result would be bono, in English,
a good.’ Again, suppose instead of either
>f these endings we added the adverbial
2 to this root; the result would be bone,
\hieh in English would be well. But to
rive further modification of the root idea,
here is provided a series of prefixes and
lufTixes—about 40 in ail—which are used
n conjunction with the grammatical end
ngs. Thus, if we continue to use the
oot bon, we can make its meaning just
he opposite—that is, bad—by adding the
trefix *mal’ to it; ‘malbona.’ (Mai in the
ame way changes the meaning of any
oot to which it is affixed, but does not
ontain in its meaning any sense of bad
tess. For example, alta means in Eng
,lish high, malalta means low.) Out of this
oot we can make a verb by adding the
t;ffix ig to it, thus, bonigi, meaning in
English ‘to make good,’ the suffix ‘ig’
laving tlie property of adding to the root
dea a sense of causing or making, and
he letter T being the ending for the in
initive of the verb. As this is merely
o give you an idea of the construction
f the language, I shall leave the satis
action of your further courtesy to that
oint—if you have any—to your own 1n
tiative. ESPERANTO.”
Curiosity and the desire to go further
pto the examination of the wonderful
method which is to make the whole world
f one speech go without saying.
Early San Francisco
‘‘Can you tell me in what year the city
f San Francisco was laid out and incor
orated? My grandfather was a “forty

arty that went out with him were pio
eers. My neighbor is positive that they
fci n<3 a town already built and that it
was han Francisco. Who is right?

the place was taken possession ot' by

important in 1819. and it was incorporate
as a city under the name It now bears in
1950. You see the forty-niners found a
town there whei they arrived upon lim

next year.

No Longer the Custom
