Knotted Kerchief Is Still Popular : BY ANNE RITTENHOUSE. ¢ you like the fashion of the knot- ted handkerchief scarf, why let your-| selt be concerned because a million other women, more or less, have found the knotted handkerchief scarf a| useful addition to their wardrobes? [ | If 1t is becoming to you, why worry because all these other women have found it as becoming to themselves? 1t is still possible to wear this neck fixing that must have been inspired by the theatrical version of a pirate’s costume, and to wear it with distinc- tion. The important thing is to set a scarf that is not of the sort made French and Amer- howing these all the ear- by the hundred. ican_shopkeepers are scarfs still that posse: marks of exclusiveness.

The French makers of dresses and es seem to be getting a lot ction out of making unex- pected kinds of appliques. Sometimes a dark georgette or crepe frock shows appliques of stiff white organdie actually pasted on the fabric. One hopes that 1t is moisture-proof pa and that with the first humid da: ot summer the owner of one of these frocks will not leave a trail of bits of white organdie. The ermine appliques on the black georgette scarf are fortunately put on by means of fine stitchery. Tt is worn with a frock of . whit roidered with tiny silver stars.

The family names of Anderson, Andrews and MacAndrew are quite obviously derived from the given name of Andrew, which, like nearly all other Bibical names, enjoyed widespread popularity in the middle ages. Who but a Gael, however, would think of connecting the names Gil- linder and Gillander with this given name? These two, of course, together with MacAndrew, are of Gaelic origin. Anderson and Andrews, though, were names which sprang up quite naturally in virtually all sections of England, being simple patronymics with the original meaning “son of Andrew.” At first they were used merely to explain the parentage of the person referred to. Later, at vari- ous periods in various families, they became hereditary and lost their original specific meaning. the names appear as sept names in the Clan Ross. As a matter of fact {the Celtic name of the Clan Ross ‘Siol Aindrea.” or “Clann Aindre: The use of these names among the members of the Clan Ross appears to {date from about the seventh century.

Upper parts dark reddish-brown; wings and tail barred with black. Under parts bufty. A distinct white line over the eve. Resident (common) all the year. This wren has a delighttul voice, and we are especially fond of him because he sings when other birds are quiet, even occasionally in win- ter. His common song is a whistling whee-o-lee, three or four times re- peated, the accent either on the first or last syllable. Sometimes only two when it sounds like a cardinal’s call. He also occasionally gives a varied perform- ance resembling & mockingbird's, from which he js named mocking wren. He lives in woods bordering streams, and is abundant all along Rock cgeek and the Potomac. ‘While one may usually hear the Carolina, finding him is quite another Dealer - and - matter. He seems to delight in play- ing hide-and-seek with the observer, keeping warily to the opposite side of a tree or stump, and flying en- tirely away If too closely pursued. Look for him in wild tangles, on fallen trees, about old 1logs and stumps, and under turf which over- hangs small streams. When you catch sight of him you will be as- tonished that so small a bird can have so great a voice. He is but little larger than the house wren, and much resembles him, his distin- gulshing marks being the white line over the eye, the more rusty back, and buffy unbarred under parts. The nest is usually in 2 hole in a stump or log, and is bullt of grasses, moss, feathers and hair. The eggs, six to seven, are white, with lavender marking: (Oopyright, L. W.
