The founder Of the Morton family
was Count Robert de Montague. He
was half brother to William the Con-
queror. by whose side he fought at the
battle OF Hastings.
On the famous Bayeux tapestry. Rob
ert is represented as one of the coun-
Gil of william, and his name is painted
on the chancel ceiling of the old church
of Dives, in Normandy. as one of tile
invading army.
He became possessed of manors III
nearly every county OF England, about
500 in all, and was made Earl Of Corn
wall. One estate was he'd by the
yearly service of a Glove gillyflower,
another by the gift of a rose, presented
every midsummer eye.
a Morton at many times in English
history has been the power behind thu
throne, particularly may this be SAID
of John Morton, who was Lord Chan
cellor of England in 1920. John Morton
Archbishop of Canterbury, was eXecu-
tor of the will of Edward ~. At the
magnificent ceremony when Prince
Henry was knighted and created Duke

Albert Morton was Secretary or
State to James !. and Thomas Morton
entertained Charles ! and his suite ut
Durham in such princely style that
one days entertainment cost Gl,500.
Richard Morton was ordi-
nary 10 James II.
In the literary world, the family have
been bright and shining lights Charles
Morton. a great scholar, had the honor
of being the second librarian Of the
British Museum. When it was estab-
lished, in 1856, he was appointed keep
er of the manuscripts, also secretary TO
the trustees. A few years afterwards
he became librarian, an office which he
held until his death.
The History of Richard III, as
cribed to Sir Thomas More, was prob
ably originally written in Latin by
Archbishop Morton, who is mentioned
by More in Utopia" In later times,
less classic literature has come from
the pens of Mortons. That popular
farce, BOX and Cox" was written by
the dramatist John Morton, son Of
Thomas Morton, also a famous farce
writer. who had the rarely-accorded
honor of being elected honorary MEM
Der of the Garrick Club.

ers, an easy chair, a good sized hang
ing mirror and a washstand. When
the house is supplied with running wa
ter the washstand is unnecessary, but
as few country houses, built for sum-
mer rental only, are blessed with this
convenience. there is a brisk trade in
light iron washstands. painted in
white enamel, with an enamel pitcher
to set in the stationary basin.
The up-to-date summer housewife
devotes her energies to making the
porch and the living-room attractive.
( as very little time is spent N bed
rooms. In the real country home
roomy. delightful living-room, and for
this apartment rush furniture is the
correct thing. 1t comes in various
colors. but green enjoys The greatest
popularity-a green that is cross be-
tween hunters green and olive.
Every piece of furniture imaginable
comes in this make. There are book
cases. low and roomy with shelf on
top for ornaments, and a finish that
suggets a mantel If one be lacking in
the house. There is a lamp pedestal
built from five graduated shelves, each
of which will hold a couple Of books,
and the whole brings the lamp just
where it throws an excellent light on
the reader.
An ideal center table for the sum-
mer room in this ware is four feet long
by two wide, with a roomy shelf be-
low. Instead of a woven rush top,
a piece of tapestry in woodland color
tones is inset Couches. settees,
lounging chairs. writing desks, tea
carts. tabourettes and small, straight
backed chairs all are shown.
The prices charged are no higher
than for the mission furniture. and
lower than for ordinary wicker ware.
The general effect is cool and restful,
and the rushware harmonizes with
any decorative scheme.
Mattings in woodland tints, green
predominating. come for use with the
rush furniture, and window draperies
are Of madras.
For summer bedrooms there are pref
ty curtains Of white lawn with borders
and futed ruff1es in Dresden patterns.

delicate color stripes with a dash of
gold thread II makes a dainty sum-
mer portiere. All summer draperies
should be transparent and simple of
design, suggesting a free passage for
every cooling draught.
In the matter Of dishes, plain white
and old English blue designs lead IN
popularity. with plain white perhaps
neck in the front. Firms making a
speciality Of crockery for summer
| homes offer q good blue and white set
for $3.50, and plain white in ware
that is not too suggestive Of boarding
house life comes-a trifie higher.
Fern dishes are OF lightest silver ef-
fects, and In many country homes a
low cut glass dish. filled with field
flowers or pond lilies, takes precedence
over the fern dish familiar TO winter
diners.
For candlesticks the summer taste
runs to colonial patterns in plain
glass. with pure white or pale green
candles.
For the summer table the anxiety OF
the housewife who watches her linen
with jealous eyes and the strength Of
the maids are materially saved by
using doylies OF paper In clever imi-
tation Of Irish lace or Mexican drawn
work. These can be used on a polished
table. but they must not be combined
with a table cloth.

ing offered for sale by certain deal
ers who cater TO japanese trade. The
foundation is the white meat of
chicken, served with delicate bam-
boo sprouts, gilman nuts and mitsuta,
the last a green vegetable for which
spinach can be substituted. The
chicken is cut into slices and cooked
in boiling sailed water until tender.
The nuts are roasted and shelled.
When ready TO serve a few slices of
chicken are arranged in each indi-
vidual bowl with a few mushrooms,
a few bamboo sprouts, a few of the
nuts over the top, and a small bunch
of the mitsuta covering all. There
should be ready cold stock, to which
add raw eggs in the proportion Of
two eggs 10 each three cupfuls of
stock. Beat lightly, pour into the
bowls and steam for fifteen minutes,
when the dish win take the consist
ency of a thick custard. The bamboo.
sprouts are usually purchased canned
and ready for use. When mushrooms
alone are used, they must be cooked
before adding 10 the chicken, but the
canned ones are ready for use.
Lobster Soup.-The foundation OF
nearly all japanese soups is the dry
bonito fish known as katsuobushi,
which is hung in the air and exposed
until every particle of moisture has
evaporated and it becomes almost as
hard as stone. 1t is considered ex-
tremely nutritious, and is sold in
sticks by dealers Of japanese supplies.
To make the stock, one-half pound
of the katsuobushi is scraped very fine
with a sharp knife or chisel, and added
to two quarts of water, after which it
is boiled slowly for an hour, when 1t
is seasoned with salt. pepper and soy
and strained.
The lobster is killed by cutting the
joints where the tail and body come
together, when the meat is removed
from the shell and made into little
balls. To do this wash ii fine and
press through a sieve. To one lob
ster of medium size, add the white of
one egg and a little salt. Make into
small balls. drop them into the stock
and let boil for a few minutes. In
Japan soup is served in dainty lacquer
bowls in each Of which have been ar
ranged a few slices of mushrooms or
young bamboo sprouts and a few
leaves of spinach previously boiled.
The soup is dipped directly from the
bowl.
Boiled Lily Bulbs.-Lily bulbs are a
favorite vegetable with the Japanese
and are simply prepared by boiling "
distilled from rice. The bulbs are
placed in a saucepan with the root side
up nearly covered with the wine and
boiled until tender for about twent,
minutes.

Summer Cosy Corners
for Town and Country
Corners

The doom of the over-worked ORR
entail cosy corner has been sounded.
The head of the house has long work.
ed secretly against it. the feminine
world has tired of it and the tidy
home maker who goes in for ali
things hygienic has decided that it is
unhealthy, because dust gathers in its
mulutudinous folds, and no ordinary
household may be trusted to clean it
without bringing an avalanche of dra-
peries and armor upon her head.
Therefore. the cosy corner, as it has
been known for half a decade, is fad
ing away into attic shadows. Artists
friends are being deluged with gifts
in the form of discarded near-metal
armor. hangings are being converted
into couch covers, and Oriental scarfs
into covers for divan pillows. The
tufted divan has been relegated to the
secondhand furniture shop-and en-
ter the new. summertime cosy corner.
In its most popular form il suggests
the immaculate housewifery Of Japan,
admitting air from all directions.
The alcove devoted TO the corner
is screened off by head portieres-
nothing heavier and they hang
straight and plain. A portiere five feet
wide is of iridescent beads, some
large, some small, apparently thrown
together in haphazard disregard to
color .seheme. but when the light
strikes the finished work 1t shows a
japanese lady in humble but coquet-
fish attitude.
Another hanging combines shells
with Oriental beads. Eighteen or
twenty delicately colored snail shells
are strung together then come three
or four beads, big and round, followed
by a short pipe OF bamboo, the ar
rangement being repeated until II
works out a delicate design in leaves
and blossoms.
Some of these hangings fall straight
to the floor, others are finished in fam
tastic scallops, but all can be washed
off with warm water as if they were
so much porcelain.
For a background to this cosy cor
ner, Japan ese prints or banners are
used. or a simple frieze Of plain-toned
burlap bordered by japanese bands.
But there must be no folds TO hold the
summer dust. If a canopy is used at
all, 1t is of lightest silk. in simple folds.
which can be wiped off or taken down
and shaken each week. In place Of

low settees Of bamboo or rushwork,
