Avenues of Fashion For the Gentleman HIS thing of dressing for the occasion is not alone matter of keeping up with the fashion procession. While it is true that fashion dictates certain types of suiting materials and fabrics for Summer wear, it is equally true that those materials which are important from a fashion standpoint during the Summer are impertant as well from a comfort angle. TROPICAL WORSTED. Probably the most important Summer suit of all for the average man, which means the man who is conservative, is the garment, either two-piece | or three-piece, of tropical worsted material. Tropical worsteds are available either in light or dark colors, and in the latter it is possible for the darker and Winter suitings, such as stripes, patterns to imitate typical Fall checks, etc. FLANNEL. Flannel and saxony types of fabrics are good Summer fashions and no Summer suits are smarter. Not only is the double-breasted flannel in a imedium gray shade extremely smart, but it is also a most practical outfit. | It offers many possibilities for sportswear combinations, inasmuch as the Jacket may be worn with slacks of contrasting shade and the trousers of the suit may be worn with various types of odd jackets. Because of the soft texture of flannel fabrics, these suits are very comfortable for wear on hot days in town during the Summer season. GABARDINE. [} Without question, the smartest of all Summer suits for the hot weather | months that are at present upon us is the gaberdine, a type of material | which is currently being worn by the very best dressed men. In a similar | manner to the flannel suit mentioned, the jacket of the gaberdine suit may THE EVENING- STAR, WASHINGTON, Contract BY P. HAL SIMS. This Week's Problem. MEN have always been interested in puzzles and problems. That this is not purely a human attribute, however, ic evinced by recent experi- mentation with anthropoid apes. Given lengths of sticks that fitted | together, an intelligent chimpanzee | managed to join them in order to| reach a banana that had been tied to the 100f of its cage The same simian also piled boxes on top of each other and scrambled up to the top of the pyramid, with a succulent coco- nut as the object of its endeavor. Whereas the animal wants a tangi- ble reward for its mentai concentra- tion, the perplexed genus homo spends hours on a puzzle mereiy for the joy of solving it. It takes a logical mind to solve problems quickly, and the same kind of mental probing that is| brought to bear on any odd, inexpli- | cable fact, such as sclentists, invent- ors and detectives cncounter daily. | Robert Fulton wondered about the | kettle sitting on the stove.

It is naturally quite another story if you trap him or try to deprive him of his freedom. Any creature has a right to resent such treatment. To most of us the wildcat is Bob. This name fits him well. Look at his mbbreviated tail. Though very short, it does more twitching than tails three times its length, belonging to other members of the cat tribe. For the ynx is a cousin to Bob and so is tabby. Seldom will you get a chance to see Bob during the daytime. He is a night hunter and a most efficient one. There are few foods you can list that he passes by. Snakes and frogs and large birds may be mentioned: other- wise, all ground-loving birds and their eggs; rabbits, squirrels, chipmunks, mice, rats and others. He cannot re- sist eggs, and will never leave a whole one in a nest. As a lover of fish, he has been seen following the river bed, lately dried up, to find frogs, crawfish and catfish. Once you have tried to find Bob and have seen his handsome brown- spotted coat, his benign expression, due to his very luxuriant growth of sideburns and his upstanding ear hairs, you have a more kindly feeling toward him.

Bread crusts which accumulate when a quantity of sandwiches have been made should be placed in the oven until they are a nice brown, then crushed to a fairly fine powder with a rolling pin and placed in a glass jar to be used to roll croquettes, cutlets, fish. etc., in when frying.

The Romance of Your Name. BY RUBY HASKINS ELLIS, TRADmON gives a fabulous origin of this surname. The story goes | that a nephew of one of the old Earls | of Lennox, having in a quarrel killed his uncle's cook, was forced to flee the country. After many years he re- turned to Scotland and built a castle | upon an island above Inversmaid, in | the Highlands. where he and the island after him received the name of Far Land. Consequently McFar- | 1and was the son of him who had come from the Far Land. Whether or not. there is any truth in this legend, no one knows, but the fact remains that the Scottish Mac- | Farlands descended from the Earls of | Lennox. Malcolm MacFarlane, one of the first mentidned of the name. was a descendant of Alwyn, Earl of Lennox, founder of the clan Mac- Farlane, who lived about 1344 in the | reign of Malcolm IV, King of Scot- land. | 'The coat of arms here shown is | ascribed to the MacFarlands of North | | carolina, represented by John Mac- Farland in 1770. They were descended from the MacFarlanes of Dumbarton, | | Scotland. The arms are blazoned: | “Argent, & saltire wavy between four | roses gules.
