BY PHILIP FRANCIS NOWLAN, CUMMING VARIATIONS — Cummings, mings, Cumyn. .RACIAL ORIGIN—Norman French. SOURCE—A locality. This group of family names is dis- tinctly Scottish. It is, in fact, the name of one of the big Highland lclans. Yet the origin lies in the name of an old feudal estate in Normandy. This does not mean, however, that any appreciable amount of French blood flows in the veins of descen- dants of the Clan Cumming, for names form no infallible guide to blood. Probably no better example of this could be given than in the case of this particular name. The sirec de “Comeyn.” or “Comin,” as it is spelled in another copy of the battle roll called at the command of William the Conqueror following the Batte of Hastings at which he broke the kingdom of the Anglo-Saxons, was one of the followers of the con- queror. His given name does not ap- pear, but the name of the place of which he was the ruler served for the Norman nobleman the same pur- pose as a modern family name, for his_rulership was hereditary. her this nobleman or his son presumably was the Richard “Comyn” who settled in Scotland and became a follower of King David I of that country, starting the family on the road to high honors. Later a John, known as the “Red Cumyn,” laid claim to the Scottish throne and killed Robert the Bruce, The family won its holdings and position in the Highlands, as a few other Norman families 'did, both through intermarriage_and grants of the Scottish kings. In this manner the clan following gradually was built up from the inhabitants of the granted territories, they, of course, taking the name from the chlef of the clan. Your Home and You BY HELEN KENDALL. Com. A Month’s Supplies. The young housewife, who has not worked out a system of odrering her staple groceries often discovers, 'much to her surprise, that she is “out of" confectioner's sugar or baking powder or coffee, and has to borrow from a neighbor or make an tmergenfiy trip to the nearest grocery. More experienced house- keepers, of course, are seldom caught in this way. Here is a scheme which may help the domestic beginner to keep up her stock of cooking and cleaning materials, so that she may be sure she is always supplied with everything she needs. To begin with, sit down at your desk some morning and make a list of every commodity you use in your housework, classified in several groups—staple rice, sugar, beans, baking powder, etc.), perishable foods (eggs, chees vegetables, fruits, etc.), and last of all, such articles as soaps, starch, cleansers, and the like. Be sure that absolutely everything you use is on this list, On the first of every month, take this list and check up the staples. Then order as much of each one as You estimate will carry you through the month, supply of salt, sugar, cocoa, flour and other dry foods, you will be relieved of thinking of them at all until the | B next month. Keep a record of what ou order, and if you find at the end of the month that you have ordered tod much or too little, modify your next month’s order accordingly. At this same time, order your month's supply of laundry and cleansing ma- terlals, bathroom supplies, and all such articles, This blanket ordet at the first of the month will clear your decks so that all you will need to think of from day to day will be the fres perishable foods. You can dismi; all the others from your mind. As most of us have a monthly account at the grocer's, it costs no more to order as much as possible at .on time Instead of ordering small” quan: tities several times during the month. In fact, by buying in larger quantities, you sometimes get & lower price and the grocer will apprectaie this simplifying of his de- liveries Dainty Lemon Sponge.

Into Each Life Some Rain Must Fall Ili Il | W il l This is the third wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Voss. The first year Herb remembered well enough—had her a box of chocolates, roses, silk stockings, theater tickets, and did the thing up right. ‘The next year they had the baby, and the baby had the croup, and Mrs. V forgave her spouse his complete oversight of the date. But tonight he hasn’t even tried to guess why she had mushrooms and date pudding on a week night when there are no guests, and after simply wolfing down his dinner here he is cheerily announcing that he’s got to go out on business.

Effect of New Pictorial Fabrics BY ANNE RITTENHOUSE. It 1s well that interior decorators insist that pictures should not be used on walls, that we must sweep photo- | graphs, landscapes and marines into the outer darkness of the garret. Why? ‘Because women's clothes are moving pictures. One room can stand Just about three new gowns at a| time. The ancient art of putting the life of a town on fabric was revived two years ago by artist weavers in France. Experts enjoved the sight of these pictorial effects. The public paid little heed to them. They rarely got beyond shop windows. This eeason a woman buys a pic- torial cotton frock without question- ing its fitness, its source or its his- tory. She knows it is smart to turn herself into a moving picture of trees, animals and rivers. She sees nothing amusing In having a procession of horses walking around her knees. Bhe does not object to baby elephants cavorting up and down her spine. She barely glances the Woolworth building, the Brooklyn bridge, Cleo- patra's needle and the Metropolitan tower emphasizing her hips and bang- ing against her ankles. Silks really have these patterns, you know. America was not going to let France get out fabrics that showed the historical buildings of Paris. She flapped the eagle’s wings, ran up her flag to catch the wind of fashion, turned the phonograph needle to “The Star Spangled Banner,” and. behold, we have an American silk that is as good as any sight-seeing fabric that Paris offers. Egyptian figurations also are run- ning a race with those from Japan and China. Fortunately, we have not had tombs on our frocks yet. But we have temples. 4 Animals are not only printed on fabrics, but they are cut from bone and quartz and worn as ornaments. ‘They dangle from belts, from pockets from sllken cords around the neck. Blouses are buttoned with ivory owl: heads. Small Arabian horses are used for cuff links. Enameled peacocks serve as girdle buckles. Why not substitute the embroidered monogram on our blouses with the cartouche of Pharoah’s name as it {8 reproduced from an alabaster vase discovered in ‘Tutankhamen's tomb?

(Copyright, 1923.) Love Letters That Made History BY JOSEPH KAYE. "aame Aaron Burr and Theodosia Prevost. Aaron Burr, who achieved political fame, was vice president of the United States and later became an execrated name in American history through his slaying of Alexander Hamilton in a duel he forced upon him, was a de- voted lover and fond father. The woman he married was a widow with two children, not beautiful and ten years his senfor. Why he married her is still a puzzle, for he was a rising man and could have had his £ eligible soclety beauties. Bheodosia Breront, widow of a Britisn officer, was, however, a very cultured woman and this probably fascinated Burr, who was himself a keen lover of the arts. The following very prosy letter Burr sent his flancee a short time before they were m ed : “] confess I have still some tran- slent distrusts that you set too little ue on your own life and comfort. Remember it is not yours alone, but your letters shall convince me, I waive the subject. 7 am not.certain I shall be regu- larly punctual in writing to_you in this manner every day when I get at business, but I shall, if possible, de. vote & quarter of an hour a day to you. In return I demand one-half an hour of each day from you; more I forbld, unless on speclal occasions. This half-hour is to be min invarfably- at the same time and for that purpose fixed at the hour least liable to interruption and as you shall find most convenient - the children shall have their sheet and at the given hour write, if but a single word, Burr, at this kind of watchw: other letter after.their marriage: “I have livved three days upon the letters I expected this evening and behold the stage has arrived without a line from you. 1 have been through the rain and dark and mud, hunting up every passenger to catechise them for letters, and I can scarce vet be- leve I am so totally forgotten.” At the age of twenty, when Burr wgs ald to Gen. Putnam and garri- sfned in New York, he had his first love affair. The lady was Margaret Moncrieffe, aged fifteen, developed be- yond her years, beautiful, passionate and a vamp in the modern sense. Margaret was the daughter of Maj. Moncrieffe, stationed with the Eng- lish troops at Staten Island, Fearing for the safety of his daughter, who ‘was with him, the major sent a sol- dler with a flag of truce to General Putnam, begging him to take care of Margaret. Putnam was Mon- crieffe’s enemy officially, but to Mon- crieffe the father he was a friend and he gladly consented to act as Margaret's guardian. Margaret was sent to Putnam forthwith and the general placed her with his family, who showed her every kindness, ‘While she was with the Putnams. Burr fell in love with Margaret and she presumably with him. But one day Burr discovered the English girl painting a bouquet of flower: This was an occupatfon usually with girls of culturs, but Burr, coupling this with the fact that Margaret seemed very fond of watching the maneu- vers of ships In the bay with a tele- , got the idea that Mi ‘was painting a message to the enemy in_the language of flowers.

The Diary of a Professional Movie Fan BY GLADYS HALL. What Past Performances Have Meant to You. All the film folk nowadays are writing about the year's past per- formances. When I say film folk I mean now all the writers about films, the reviewers, critics, et al. They are volcing with tongues of silver or brass their opinions, prides and prejudices. They are discussing the plcture performances which seem to them the best performances glven Quring the vear 1922. I have a few opinions of my own, of which I shall forthwith unburden myself. I shall also mention a few opinions which have come to me from the other writer folk, and to all of these you other fans might send me in your own, and I shall then compile a list of favorite performances gleaned only from the fans, who should be, after all, the best judges. One of the most discussed perform- ances of the past year was that of Von Stroheim in “Foolish Wives." Opintons clas| and varled. One #ald he was merely a series of swanky looking photographs; others pralsed the finish of the man, his continental flavor, his superb savoir faire. Pe: sonally, I agree with the “others. He did _bring. the continent to New York—the intrigue, the diablerfe, the delicate, dangerous distinctiveness of the other world. He Is now, vyou know, writing the continuity for “M Teague,” which will be his first pro- duction’ for Goldwyn. Every one loved Lillian Gish in “Orphans of the Storm.” Hers is the pathos called poignant, There is, me- thinks, no argument about that Monte' Blue was also excellent in “Orphans’—one kceps remembering Im face. Lillian Gish, relevantly, brings Rich- ard Barthelmess to mind, and Richard Barthelmess, until he surpasses f{t, brings “Tol-able David” to mind. The figure of “Tol'able David” has re- | mained with me where other film fig- ures have faded and been forgotten— that “David.” the last, hard-wrung essence of pity and courage, of pain and tenderness.
