Many OF these frocks and hats offered
ideas which might easily be duplicated

stunning afternoon costume of mauve
velvet was one of the most delightful
gowns in the play. This gown was IN

BatchelIor. BatcheIder.

The common noun now spelled bachelor has been spelled in at least a score of ways in our literature. Most of these have come at some time or other into the orthography of the surname and many of them still sur viye. We have as present forms Bscheiler, Bachelor, Batcheiar. Batchelder, Batchel- dor, Batchelier, Bacheller. Batchellor, Batoheior,. Batchelour, Batchler, and prob. ably a few more. The forms ending in der. dor are corrupt The prevailing forms on teh Hundred Rolls of l21ss are le sBachller and le Bacheler. Batcheior is now the predominant form in England. and numbers more in English vdi- rectories than all others together. Batchel- der, and Batcheldor are especially strong in New England and in the ratio to each other of about three to one. The forrns In ''lr' are not common in either England or Amer lea.
 The surname is an official one indicating that those to whom 1t was first applied were "baehelors." In the surname period this term had three weil-defined and dis. tinct meanings.
 The earliest of these was probably "a young knight who followed the banner of another because either not old enough CT not having enough vassais, to display his own banner" Such was the Syre yong bachelor of Robert of Gloucester (45S) in l2s7 and such also was he described by chaueer 'in .TH~ sQuires Tale" e. T. sl4. s0e> .t
 f.'Yong. fresh.s strong, and in. arms desirous As any bacheler- of all his hous."
 The second meaning is ''one who has talk en the first or lowest degree at a univeE- sity, but who is not yet master of arts" Such were the "bachilers' of LAngland's ''Piers the Piowman," Text A. Proi 90. and the t'bachelefs' of Text B. Prol s7, and such the ''bacheler of lave" in. Chaucers .arhe Frankeleyn's Tale" e. T. IS. so2).
 The third meaning was ''an unmarried man." Such were those "bacheleris have often peyne and wo," of '"The Merchantes Tale" in Chaucer co. T. 13, s1D.
 The origin of the word bachelor, Is quite uncertain. The most probable derivation derives 1t through the Old French bachelor from a Medieval Latin baccalarius. term applied in the eighth century to a rustic who worked for. the colotIus or tenant of e mansus (estate with Q manslon).
 This term in turn seems best derived from the late Latin bacca for vacca, "a cow" In this case the baccalaria, which the baccalartus worked was perhaps a grazing

 The name is derived from the Anglo Saxon scrob shrub. scrub, underwood" So scrobbesbyrig. now Shrewsbury, is literally ''shrubsbury." The early settlers were call ed Scrobsaete, 'the settlers in the scrub" The county first took a name from the town but later dropped the hyris and be- came '.Scrub-shfre." Scrob was vartously modified into srob, sirop, and slcp. as these were easier for the Normans to pronounce. The last mentioned was changed into saiop. still frequently used as the name of the county. Early Middle English by assimila- ton produced shrob, schrob, etc, from the earlier serob. which still survives in our scrub and the later forms gave us our shrub and the shrop- in the county name.
 Dialectic English still has scroff. refuse wood" and shrnff, light rubbish wood" The Norwegian skrubba ''the stunted cornei tree" also ''brushwood, underwood. stunted forest and the Danish dialectic skrub. ca shrub" are. cognates.

Sevier, Xavier. - This surname in one or other of its forms has been made memorable on three eonti- uents. ,-+ t;f,
 our seyier. of Tennessee. Arkansas ana Virginia and their descendants came from anIold French family. sevier of the ''State of Franklin" and Tennessee first made the name one to be remembered in our western world The first to make 1t famous was. however. Francisco Xavier. the great Jesuit who became the Apostle of the Indies"
 He had been born at his mothers castle ef xavero or Xavier at the foot of the Pyrnees, not far from the town of Sanguesa, in the Spanish kingdom of Navarro The Spanish custom of the time left 1t optional with the child to adopt the surname of either parent. So Francisco chose the moth- . CTS noble name rather than that of his father. De Jasso.
 Later the sJesuits spread the name every where and it became personal name ana e surname in France as Xavier, in Itaiy as saverio, in Poland as xavery, in Ger many as xaver, in Ireland saverius and Saw, in wallachia as xaverie.
 xavero is said to be the Moorish form of the Arabic Gaafar, splendid. brilliant, c name familiar in the form Giaffar Of the Arabian Nights and found in the old historians as Jaffiar.
 It is doubtful whether the name has any enenates familiar to the West. A likely suekestion connects with the same radical the name of the city Jaffa. the ancient yoppa, called Japhc in Joshua xix. 4e, and Yapho in the Hebrew of Ezra Ill, '. The Arabic name Is Yafa. The name Is old, as Yepu is the Karnak list of Pal-' estinian towns conquered by Thothmes III. Of Ewypt, and Ja -ap- pu-u is found on the annual inscription of Senuacherio. The name is usually renderd beauty" which ss highly appropriate for the site of the town. Another makes it the white, shin ing city. named so because of its chalk cliffs.
 Dymock, Dimmick. Dimmock.
 This surname indicates that its original bearer came from the parish Dymock in Gloucestershire.
 This parish lays claim to at least three grounds for distinction. It claims to have been the home of the celebrated breed of sheep. now called Merino, claiming they were exported thence to Spain in the four teenth century. This claim does not appear Ao be well substantiated. It was the birth place of John Kyrle, the Man of Ross." irnmortaiized by Pope. It gave its name to that ancient family in which the office of "King's Champion" or Champion of England,'' has been hereditary since the reign of Richard IL At that time Sir John Dymoke succeeded through the female line to DeLudlow. who in turn had succeeded in the female line to Marmion. to whom and to his male heirs forever, the office had been given by William the Conqueror.
 The family has long been established in Lincolnshire and is now strongest in Cam bridgeshire.
 The name of the parish Is from the welsh or native British Ty-moch. ''the abode of swine" doubtless referring to large droves of swine once fattened in the forests.
 The prototheme Is the Cymric ty, "a house, abode" This is cognate with the Cornish ti, Old Breton teg, tig. Old Irish tex, later tech, now teach and tige. of the .'roof building" toga, robe" Greek tegos
