Now they have to go and bedeck themselves with bones from last night's dinner. It's cute, but cannibalistic You Get the Neck of the Chicken-It Chicken-It seems as if the neck bones can be dried separate ly, shined up with colorless nail polish, pol-ish, and strung into a necklace. For an individual touch, put a wish bone, painted with red nail polish, in the center of the necklace. Reminds Re-minds us of that old gag, "Like Chicken? Wanna Neck?" Toe the Mark We shudder at the thought, but one gal writes us about lapel pins made of chicken's feet, from which the outerskin has been taken off. Coat thoroughly with colorless col-orless nail polish and back with a pin. They're the claws that depress! Kerchief Kontainer Next time you're lucky enough to have a ham for dinner, save the big bone and cut a section out of it about one-inch one-inch wide. Hollow out the center and let it dry thoroughly. Give it the old nail polish treatment and use it to fasten a small kerchief around your neck. Just draw the two kerchief ends through It and pull snugly. You might decorate it with noodle initials. ini-tials.

Take Kit IDord ji For 111 l By FRANK COLBY j HOW DID IT START? e e e Q. Who was "Davy Jones" and what is meant by his "locker"? A. In nautical lore, Davy Jones has long been spoken of as the evil spirit of the sea. The name is supposed sup-posed to be a corruption of Duppy Jonah. Duppy, a word used among Negroes of the West Indies, designates desig-nates a malevolent haunting spirit. And Jonah, of course, refers to the Jonah of the New Testament; his name has become a synonym for i person or thing that causes bad luck. Davy Jones's locker is the bottom of the sea. Of lost ships or drowned seamen, it is said that they have gone to Davy Jones's locker. Q. How did the Mardi Gras car nival of New Orleans get its name? A. Mardi gras is French for "fat Tuesday." It refers to Shrove Tuesday, Tues-day, which-is the day before the De-ginning De-ginning of Lent, therefore, the last day of feasting. In France a fat (gras) ox was ceremoniously paraded parad-ed through the streets. In New Orleans the carnival of Mardi Gras ends on Shrove Tuesday. Tues-day. "King Rex," accompanied by his "Mystick Krewe of Comus." appears ap-pears in the spectacular parade of floats, and is later unmasked at the Mardi Gras ball. In Roman Catholic countries the carnival is a period of festivals and merrymaking preceding Lent. The carnival takes its name from the Latin phrase came vale, meaning, "O flesh, farewell!" an illusion to the putting aside of carnal things during the Lenten season. (Carnal is from the Latin carnis, which meant originally "a piece of meat.") Bell Syndicate. WNU Features.
