BY ELEANOR LEXINGTON.

The family of Adam, or Adams, can
claim the distinction of having the
oldest individual name on record.
And the Lord God formed man of
the dust of the ground, and breathed
into his nostrils the breath of live; and
man becaming a living soul"
And out of the ground the Lord
God formed every beast of the field,
and every fowl of the air; and brought
them unto Adam to see what he would
call them"
"Adamah" is the Hebrew for Adam,
and means red EARTH" or red
The name is variously spelled Adam,
Adame, Adames, Adams, and Adameh
The soft sound of So in the Anglo
Saxon was formerly not common. the
more general form being soft "ch"
as Adamch. Hence, the various SPELL
ings would seem to have the same
pronunciation.
The surnames of modern times are
said to have originated during the
time of the Crusades, the baptismal
name alone before that time having
been in common use among Christians.
The chieftains of the Crusaders then
assumed the names of the places from
whence they came, or of the estates of
which they were owners. The soldiers
added the Christian name, and hence
the surnames formed of Christian

BEAUTY DON'TS
FOR CHILDREN.

Don't expect children to be beautiful
unless healthy. happy and contented.
This. indeed. goes far towards making
them lovely.
Don't think too much time can be de-
voted to physical development. In
nothing is it of more Importance to
take time by the forelock.
Don't let children sit without support
to their backs; and encourage them to
rest their spines by lying back in
chair Once a day make both boys
and girls lie fat on the floor for half
an hour. This will make fine figures.
Don't give children chairs that are
soft and low in the middle, or their
necks will be certain to sink within
their shoulders, and their figures be-
come distorted.
Don't let them sit still too long at a
time; if they do. they will fidget move
rcstlessly from side to side, and take
attitudes which may make them
grow crooked.
Don't let a STOPPING lesson, such as
writing or drawing. end without some
simple arm exercises.
Don't have heavy curtains at bed
room windows; let the sunshine pour
in.
Don't paper bedroom walls; paper
catches all floating gases. Finish the
walls with some non-absorbent mate
rial.
Don't have an carpets on bedroom
floors use rugs instead. Have few
hangings and little bric-a-brac.
Don't let them spend any more time
in the bedroom than is absolutely nee
essary.
Don't allow a child 10 sleep with an
older person
Don't give a child harsh rub after
a bath Drying should be done care
fully with a soft towel; there should be
a warm tub" in the morning and a
quick sponge bath at night.
Don't comb a child's hair too much.
Brush carefully with a soft brush.
Don't use curling tongs. II locks alb
solutely must be curled-in little SUI
gar curls"-twist them at bedtime on
soft cloths.
Don't think a child can have bright
ness OF eyes. clearness. softness and
smoothness OF skin without good food
Don't coax a child 70 eat. Lack Of APP
petite often indicates lack OF necessity
Don't allow a child 10 grow up with
squirting eyes or crooked teeth. The
scientific treatment OF physical defects
has reached = hlgh point OF skin, and
many ~ natures unkindnegsee may be

HER LADYSHIP.

The London papers were late. had

and sat waiting for the boy who
brought them from the station.
When 1 saw him coming, my hand

tears of thankfulness were falling up
on it when the shop door opened and
pair of brown eyes looked at me out
of pale face. shaded by hair bronzed
like a pheasant's wing.

God help herr" 1 thought, as her
eyes devoured the war news.
She sank into a chair outside the
counter. and I saw that what she had
dreaded was not there.
Who have you at the front, my
dear?" 1 asked.
My husband"
''Your--what?"
She smiled at my amazement.
Il am older than you think-nearly
twenty"
She did not look seventeen.
And your husband?" 1 asked.
She hesitated a moment.
Lieut.. Stanley of the Bluffs" she
said.
l looked at her more keenly.
My son is sergeant in the Bluffs" 1
remarked. Maybe you have heard
the lieutenant speak of Sergeant
Grace?"
''Oh, yes; yes, indeed" She held out
her small hands to me across the
counter

A sudden wave of color swept her
race, which was quickly averted. There
was an awkward pause between us.
ihen, as one might hold up an open
book to be read, she lifted her eyes to
mine, and looking into their innocent
depths, any faint suspicion which may
nave entered my old head vanished.
May come sometimes and talk
70 you, Mrs. Grace?" she asked diff
hdently. Il am lodging just across the
street" nv
I patted her hand, bidding her come
and be welcome. The next morning
as l opened the shop, she stepped out
OF the house opposite. When she en-
tered l spoke to her of what had been

They tell me in the village that you
are the mother of Sergt Grace? ?"
Madam" said 1, and 1 looked at her
with eyes as proud as her own, Il have
that honor"
Your gallant son saved-my sons
life-if-he is still living Her face
worked. my daughter-in-law, Lady
Hereford, is with you, am told" she
said after a moment
She is. And I have the honor of
announcing to your ladyship the birth
of an heir.
She staggered, and I thought she
would have fallen.
1 led the way upstairs to Toms
room. and the proud woman stood and
looked at the poor, pale child on the
bed. But when 1 put that baby in her
arms, she just said Stanley" and her
whole heart was in the cry
Well nothing would do but she
must send for a trained nurse and
have her own doctor down from Lon
don. Between them, they brought my
darling back to life.
But as the time drew near for them
to go with the Countess of Avonmere
l thought my old heart would break
When 1 said something about it to
her young ladyship, she opened those
big brown eyes of hers and looked at
me as if 1 was talking Choctaw.

my days here as far as I can see.
And now the household is in a hustle
of excitement and expectancy, for
word has come that the young lord

And they tell me-but I can scarcely
believe it-that my Tom will get the
Victoria Cross.

THE CRY

was using it"
She clasped her hands in delight
l had to wait on a customer then,
and when l turned to her again her
pretty brows wrinkled.
Mrs. Grace"-she hesitated-"I
must tell you. Stanley is not my real
not all my name. There We're rea-
sons why it seemed best-may 1 tell
you what I can about myself?"
And then 1 learned that when her
last parent died She had obtained a
position as governess to Lady Rad

When his regiment was ordered to
the front he insisted on their being
married secretly. and afterwards
wrote begging his mother to befriend
his wife.
But she has taken no notice of
me-" she ended pitifully.
Does she know where you are
now?"
Yes. She-does not live far from
here"
bent forward and kissed her pretty
face. In my heart I could not blame
the lieutenant for going against his
mothers wishes.
Two months passed. I sat in the
little room behind the shop one day
when I heard her voice call, "Gracie,
Gracie!" That was her pet name for
me.
She pushed aside the curtains and
fairly danced around me, crying:
II must tell you I must! I must!"

heart she read from the paper she
held;

1 swallowed my amazement fearing
that this excitement would be too much
for her. And to add to it, the evening
post brought a letter from her hus-
band. She fell asleep, like tired
child, after tea, holding it against her
breast.
l sat and watched her with fear in
my heart, thinking 81 her husband

names with the addition of son. Thus
the son of Adam became Adamson;
in Scotch MacAdams.
The family name Of Adams is very
common in England and America At
the time of the Norman Conquest ap-
pear the names of Philips Adams and
Johanus Adam Under the old Nor
man pronunciation the accent was on
the first "a" and in the Saxon pronun-
citation on the second "a"
During the thirteenth and four
teenth centuries the name was COM
mon and found in all tongues. 1t ap-
pears from the Chronicles of Kent"
that the "s'' was added during the
reign of Henry VII
In the memoirs of the Earl of War
wick, and also in the History of Can
terbury, the name Adams is referred
TO rs time honored among I'VE yeo-

meaning the Netherlands.
In the year 1417, in the reign of
Henry V, in consequence of a new
invasion of France. the Duke of Bur-
gundy and his partisans became in
volved in a disagreement which caused
an insurrection. Like Adam. one of
the Dukes captains, with Jacobus and
Johanus Adam, melted the people to
revolt against their tyrannical OPP
pressors, and in 1419 the Duke of
Burgundy was murdered.
In English history the names Adam
and Adams appear frequently in con-
nection with these events.
According to family record and ira
dition, a Philipo Adams crossed the
Bristol channel to Glamorganshire,
South Wales, where he married Hilfa
Anderson, after which they went to
Kent, England.
Henry Adams was the first settler
of the line in this country. He came
from England to America about 1884
with his wife, eight sons and one
daughter, settling in Mount Wollas-
ton, now Quincy, Mass. Here on Feb.

line of eminent ancestors back to
Charlemagne. This is proved through
an ancient parchment roll.
Lord of Adams was called to Parlia-
ment by Edward l., as baron of the
realm.
There is nothing to show that Henry
Adams, the immigrant. took any rank
among nobility; he was an unassuming
man of tact and ability, who came TO
America for better opportunity for
his large family.
A Richard Adams came to this coun-
try in 1917. Deciding to remain, he sent
for his son Francis and daughter Jem-
ina. Upon their arrival they found
that their father had been killed by
Indians. The daughter returned to Eng
land, but Francis, having a vivid re-
membrane of their sufferings on the
ocean from long and stormy passage,
concluded to remain" He was some
