WORN BY FASHION LEADERS
New Ideas, Both In Materials and
Makeup, Mark the Styles Of
the Season.

Wooden knitted coats in light colors
are extremely popular. They reach
almost to the hem of the skirt and
are in the palest and most delicate
shades, as well as in the usual scarlet
and navy blue colors.
Pretty and inexpensive dressing
gowns are made Of cotton wolfe In
lavender, pink or pigeon-blue. Cot
ton crepe is also used. They are, Of
course, not so warm as wooden and
flannel kimonos, but are much pref
tier and daintier.
Medieval reception gowns are much
the rage this year. They are greatly
modified, Of course, though they still
retain enough of the medieval not to
give q certain romantic effect. They
are most Of them made with tight
sitting transparent sleeves and oval
shaped yokes, finished at the throat
with a rather high collar band. The
material is Of velvet, cashmere or
crepe de chine, the skirts usually dec

ACorner in Ancestors
Psckh0nl Family
IcOpyrishs by Mcclure syndicate,
By ELEANOR LEXINGTON

John married twice and had II
children. His six sons were John, VIII.
liam, Stephen, Thomas, Clement and
James. William, who became q Bap
fist minister. il supposed to be the
first minister of that denomination to
be ordained in the colonies. In I'LL
he was ordained pastor of the First
Baptist church Of Newport. All the
sons married, and all but James left
also married. and, like the sons. all
but one left families. They were Sa-
rRh, who married William Weldon;
Rebecca, who married a man named
Spooner; Debora, who married Robert
Taylor: Phebe. who married Thomas
Gray; Elizabeth, who married Peter
Taylor and Sussannah, who married
Peter Barker, and later Peter Wells.
With such q substantial beginning
the family spread and prospered. By
100 they were known as large land.
holders. They owned a great deal Of
property where New Bedford, Mass,
now stands, and they we're mentioned
in many of the early lists of property
sales. Members of the fourth genera.
ton, or the great-grandchildre of the
first John Peckham, went to Connec.
ticut, Rhode Island and Massachu-
etts; and members Of the fifth genera
ton or the Observation-Disclosures
went to New York state and settled in
Duchess county.
The Peckhams were we'll repre-
sented among the soldiers Of the revo-
luton. Hoffman, In his list of the off,
GERS of the continental army in the
war Of the revolution, gives the names
Of two members Of the family-Balker
Peckham, ensign in Tallman's Rhode
Island state regiment, and Benjamin
Peckham, who began as regimental
Quartermaster in lit and was made
captain of the Second Rhode Island
regiment in 1882, serving in that posi-
ton to the close of the war.
Good, substantial names seem to
have been favorite with this family.
Carew, John, Uriah, Susanna and Pc
leg appear with great frequency.
There are several coats of arms
borne by the Peckham family, varying
only slightly, however. The arms H.
Illustrated are those Of the Peckhams
of county Kent, from which the Amer
lean family probably came. The EN-.
blazoning is: Ermine q chief, quar-
terly, or and gules.
Crest: An Ostrich proper.
Motto: Tentanda via est.
Ermine in heraldry always was a
mark of dignity. In ancient times the
wearing Of fur was confined to those
of good birth and wealth.

BEST FORM OF EMBROIDERY
Ribbon Work a Charming Pastime
and May Be Made q Source Of
Income.

Probably the expense alone keeps
many women from taking up the
beautiful ribbon embroidery. This
is ideal work. however, for those
who need not consider expense and,
too, for those who make pin-money
from their embroidery articles. They
make an appeal, to the paying public
that less fancy articles do not.
For the sake Of economy all Of the
ribbon from an eighth to an inch In
width should be got by the piece.
More Of the extremely marrow widths
will be required, and It Is economy in
the long run to lay in a supply Of the
wanted colors.
Corded silk and poplin are the best
backgrounds for ribbon embroidery,
and all thinner silks should be basted
first upon an open weave canvas to
prevent their pulling and prawing
All short spaces may be crossed on
the wrong side in going from flower to
flower, but for longer distances the
ribbon is cut and a fresh start made
with a small knot, both to prevent
unsightly drawing and as an economy
in ribbon.
That delightful pulled effect in the
blossoms will be destroyed II the rib
bon is drawn too tightly, and all at
tempts at fastening ends should be
left until last, and the cut ends be
pasted with library paste to the
wrong side to insure flatness Of back
ground.
