HIS native of Asia has made very good use of her adopted country. She is commonly nai- uralized in Southern New York and Southward. Sometimes in shel- tered places she is seen farther North. Many call her “Wandering Jew.” She 15 an opportunist. In every nook and corner where she can get a foot- hold, and she has many of them, she moves steadily on her way. Because she is such a hustler, ambitious and | ruthless, she has found herself in the same class with weeds. She rests partly on the ground. The fleshy stems are somewhat joint- ed. In June the first glossy stemless, lance-shaped leaves begin to make themselves noticeable by their new- ness and especially because they are usually discovered establishing them- selves in places where they are not welcome. From the heart-shaped green scales the small flower clusters project for- ward. The alert little blue flowers. opening one at a time, seem to spring from the boat-shaped scales and flower lovers call her “the lady in the boat.” The reason for the name dayflower is because of her habit of opening wide her showy blue doors for one day only. Blue, being the favorite color of the bees, soon attracts their Attention and they promptly call to pay their respects. Each flower has three petals, two of them an exquisite pale blue, the third one white and small. If the caller came very early and the day was hot by noon the lovely flower be- gins to fade rapidly and the next day is a soft jelly which sticks to your finger-tips. The fruit is a small, two-celled cap- | sule. Each cell has two seeds which are dark brown and quite rough You can see by the form of the day- flower that it belongs to the spider- wort family, many members of whom you have met in this column and whose life stories are very charming as well as eventful, The generic name of these flowers e — T YEE - "Cavalier e ,';“fllfl!lfl,’ifl!‘? giE il . Famous Nationally Advertised has an interesting history and gives a glimpse into the thoughts of the great Linnaeus, who gave it to them. There were three Dutch brothers named Commelyn, who were botanists. Two very very industrious and published learned works on flowers. The third brother took life less seriously and published nothing. So the first two bright blue petals represent the two energetic brothers the last small pale one the lazy botanist. The slender dayflower is a first cousin, residing in Pennsylvania, with children and grandchildren South- ward and Westward. The three sta- mens are perfect and one is incurved with a large anther. The common dayflower’s stamens number six, both sterile and fertile, and three project beyond the petals. This is the only difference between the cousins. To a botanist this is a very good reason for another descriptive name, so erecta is added to Commelina to distinguish this member of the family from the one illustrated. But to the bees and flower lovers it is the one and the same bright-eved rover. (Copyright. 1935.)

The Romance of Your Name. BY RUBY HASKINS ELLIS. Lansing 'HIS name represents one of the fine old Dutch families which settled in the Hudson Valley in. New York State. The surname Lansing is derived | from two Dutch words signifying low, | flat lands—alluvial lands, which were undoubtedly near the family residence in Holland. The armorial bearings here shown | were borne to America by Gerrit | Frederick Lansing, who settled in Al- bany, N. Y., in 1650. The arms are | blazoned: “Or, three increscents azure, | two and one. Crest—three ostrich | | feathers azure.” The heraldic signifi- | cance of the crescent is participation in the holy wars in Palestine during the time of the Crusades. Evidently some member of the family made a | pilgrimage to the East. The ostrich | feather betokens some connection with wars in Bohemia. The Lansing family in America is a most distinguished one. Many of its sons and daughters have risen to great heights in our national life and in the Mistory of their native State. John Langing, born in 1754 in Albany, was 4 great jurist, becoming Chief Justice of the New York Supreme Court in 1798. In 1801 he succeeded Robert R. Livingston as chancellor and | served until 1814. Frederick Lansing, | born in 1838, served as a Senator in his | native State and later as United States | Congressman. He died in 1894. Robert | | Lansing, born in 1864 in Watertown, | | N. Y., was an outstanding lawyer and | counsel for the United States Govern- | ment prior to his appointment to suc- | ceed William Jennings Bryan as Secre- ’tar\' of State in President Wilson's | | cabinet. | room Wool Frocks for Firs Autumn Days Back in Town warm enough to wear without a coat . .. smart enough for almost any daytime need! fur trimmed tailored types button trimmed new necklines Soft wools fit into the autumn picture perfectly!
