" WOMEN’S PAGE.™ Furs Favored By the French BY MARY MARSHALL. African gazelle skin and baby Per- Eian lamb, both very smooth and sup- ple, are two furs that are highly favored by the knowing Parisian at ANEW SUMMER FROCK FROM PARIS. . the present moment. If you have thought that the use of furs in Sum- mer is on the wane, you have reckoned without Paris. Though the flame of this fashion may flicker low in America, it is kept burning brightly in Paris. Climate, of course, has something to do with' it. A decade and more before Americans cer thought of wearing any sort of furs after heavy Winter clothes had been packed off in cedar or camphor continental women wore fur neck scarfs throughout the Summer, using them for comfort if not for fashion. The important thing now is that furs have been produced that are so soft and supple and so light that they n be worn comfortably even in our own country of great Summer heat. Often they are used only as trimming, and in a way that does not produce discomfort. Here in Paris the two-plece suit has ctory. It has survived the cool days of 8pring and is worn in lighter guise now that Summer is upon us. And, despite the vogue of the silk neck scarf, there are many smart women who regard the fur neck f as o necessary accessory of the two-piece suit. Now that the air route to London is preferred by so many persons to the time-honored cRannel crossing, fur coats, too, are an im- portant adjunct of the Summer ward- robe. For the females of the human specles wear fur for flying as much as a matter of course as feathered creatures fly in feathers. One does not need so warm a fur coat for Summer as for Winter, so it is that some of the leading furrier: are showing coats of thin, smooth fur such as gazelle and baby Persian lamb. It is noteworthy that most of the smart, new fur coats are cut on straight lines—although with suf- ficient roominess about them to keep them from appearing in any way scant. achieved a MENU FOR A DAY.

RAWSON, JR 220 Scotsmen Captured. NANTASKET, Ma: June 17, 1776. —This sandy shore has of late become & favorite vantage point for watching the new game recently invented by Yankee kipers, as described in re- cent dispatches from the nearby town of Boston. The object of the game, it may be recalled, is to capture Brit- ish soldiers by the boatload before they can disembark and begin the vareers of murder and oppression for which the King’s ministers have sent them across the sea. Early this morning four Continental cruisers won one of these games, with a total capture of about 220 cotch Highlanders, but not until the Bcotsmen had made for themselves a brave reputation as valiant fighting men. Like the hundred or so of their comrades who were captured mear Marblehead a week ago, these Scots- men were making for Boston. They expected to unite there with the Brit- ish army, which, as a matter of fact, had not been in Boston since the last of March. : The Highlanders were in the George, 120 tons burden, mounting six can- non, and the Annabella, 180 tons bur- den, mounting two swivels. Their officers were Lieut. Col. Archi- bald Campbell and Maj. McKenzie. The exact details of the conflict are not known, but according to one re- port the Scotsmen were first sighted when standing in for Light House Channel yesterday. The Continental crulsers were soon after them; being ted for a time by Connecticut’s Defense, under Capt. Seth Hard- ing. Further tance of a valuable na- ture was given by the Massachusetts militfa, who during part of the con- test played four 18-pounders upon the George and the - Annabella with such skill and zest that at one time the George’s commander was about ready to follow the militia’s de- mand that he “strike to this colony.” Rut there was no surrender until the Highlanders had used up all their am- munition. By that time 17 of their number_had been killed, among them heing Maj. MecKenzie. Lieut. Col. Campbell and all his surviving men are prisoners. Before surrendering the Scots tore up their battalion colors and threw them overboard. ¥our men on the American _ships were severely wound- A Guar&tee Against SUNBURN JON'T get sunburned this season!

Compotes are fruits preserved with a little sugar and made as they are required. For a cherry compote, take two pounds of cherries, one cup of sugar and the strained juice of two lemons. The cherries should be red, as they will have a more piquant fla- vor. Cut the stems, leaving an inch to each che then put the fruit in a saucepan with the sugar and lemon Jjuice. Put them over a slow fire, shaking the pan occasionally. Boil for three minutes, then remove them from the saucepan. Return any of the sirup to the saucepan and reduce it by boiling. When ready to serve, pile the cherries in a pyramid in a glass dish and pour the sirup over them. need to boil my wash 'O more hot, steamy kitchens for me on washday now!

The, e |triend to go_along acation time has como all elther starting off or planning for the big two weeks, many lonely girls are waiting with beating hearts for their annual holiday. Se- cretly they're dreaming of good times they’ve mnever had—ardent admirers such as they've never seen—moon- light on the lake and all the rest of the delightful things which are sup- posed to go with vacations. ‘ou see so much fiction has been written about the Summer romance that ripens into beautiful love that forlorn, unpopular maidens fly to a Summer resort confident of finding their Prince Charming there to meet them. And it's sad, but true, that those girls who are most anxious that thelr vacations should bring them shining romance are most keenly dis- appointed when they meet failure. This isn't intended to be a solemn warning that there are no good times to be had at the mountain or seaside place you've chosen for your Summer outing. But don’t get too worked up over it all. Don't go away tense with expectant Don’t ruin the two weeks of rest you need so much by walling over what might have been. Glorla hadn’t ever had much fun in the great city, and she was dying for a romance—just a little one would have satistied her perfectly. So she invested 1 a perfect trousseau of Summer things, picked out a highly expensive and popular hotel in the Adirondacks, persuaded her best girl with her, and started out all keyed up for adven- tur Slie found the hotel quite as nice as she had pletured, the scenery beauti- ful, the sports excellent and the food perfect. But, alas! She found no ro- mance. There were several nice boys on hand, who were rather nice to Gloria and her pal, but there was no curly-haired hero to fall madly in love with her—there were no sentimental interludes under the moonlight, and poor Glorla was miserable. All the good that two weeks might have done for her was lost in self-pity. She couldn’t forget for an instant that she'd been cheated—cheated out of the love affair she'd come all that way to find. It's better not to hope for too much when you start off on the Summer holiday. It's better not to make up your mind definitely that if you don’t get a wonderful man this yvear your entire outing is spolled. Think ot all the fun you can have, even if vou don’t spend all your time sighing and making vows under the stars. Go away with the idea firmly fixed that you're going to have a darn good time come what may—that you're going to enjoy every second of sport and rest—that no lack of men can dim the joy of life for you. And, in this frame of mind, you're more than likely to be pleasantly sur- prised- rather than bitterly disap- pointed. —— fistory of Dour Name BY PHILIP FRANCIS NOWLAN. MacKNIGHT. VARIATIONS — MacNight, Neight, MacKnight, Knight. RACIAL ORIGIN—Irish. SOURCE—A descriptive surname. Here is a family name derived from the name of a clan which, like that of MacGuthrie, traces back through the O'Rellleys to the O'Rourkes. Forms of this name in which the “k” 1s used are arbitrary changes in spelling following the translation of the name into English, or else forms which have grown up through care- lessness in spelling. This is the case, of course, only in instances where the name is of Gaelic origin, for there is also an English and a German origin of the name Knight. In the Irish name, however, there is no meaning of “knight,” but rather of “night.” The Gaelic form of the name is “Mac-Na-Hoidhche,” and it is derived from the surname given to the founder of the clan, “Son of the Nigh! This chieftain dled in 1127, so that the clan Mac-Na-Hoidhche must have been some two or three generations older than the Mac- Guthries.
