"a squadron of hostile airships
visited the east coast Monday night

hours of $50 P. NJ. and 1890 A. M.
"some fires were caused by the
draining of incendiary bombs, but
these were quickly extinguished and
only immaterial damage was done.

Evacuated.
LONzA TAKEN BY STORM
Russian Armies May Retreat Further
Into Interior-German Fleet Fails
to Capture Gulf of Riga.


Evacuation OF Wilma, capital Of the
province OF Wilma, has been ordered
by the Russian war office.
The treasures OF the great libraries
and museums are being removed.
Official announcement to this effect
was made and caused dismay. Wilma
is city OF nearly 100000 inhabitants
and an important railway center 50
miles southeast of Kovno and about
225 miles northeast Of Warsaw.
The announcement of its evacua.
tion was the first intimation that had
been given that the retreating Rus
sian army would abandon the Kovno
Gradno-Brest-LitOvsk line of defense
and withdraw farther into the interior
Of Russia.
Kovno and Grodno constitute the
man defenses OF Wilma, which is on
the Warsaw-Petrograd railway, and il
Is considered highly improbable that
the Russians would evacuate it If they
expected to keep the two fortresses. |
Riga, the great Baltic seaport, gov.
ernment seat or the province OF RuS'I
sian Courland, was attacked on Sun
day by a German feet Of great
strength, according TO an official
statement issued by the war office.
Nine battleships, twelve cruisers
and a large number of torpedoboatl
destroyers made persistent efforts to,
force a passage through the entrance
to the gulf Of Riga, but were repulsed
by the fortifcations guarding the
gate to the important city.
One of the cruisers and two torpedo
boats Of the German fleet were badly
damaged by Russian mines, says the
report, but the repulse Of the attack
was due in the main to the activity
of the cars seaplane dotilla.

WOMEN DON'T DRESS TO PLEASE MEN"
By MYRTLE REED

Fashion is fearful and a wonderful thing.
 As 'the wind bloweth where 1t listeth" so Madame la Mode drives her blind vic- tims before her, all needless of what depths of ugliness she forces them through, only intent on turning everyone into a more or less caricatured likeness of her sister.
 Then, having achieved her end, she immediately rushes to the opposite ex- treme-whereupon her slaves cast aside all the fripperes they have so hardly acquired, twist their fair locks into some freshly outrageous style, change even the shape of their gracious forms at her behest-and the hearts of dressmakers, milliners and corsetieres rejoice greatly. One of the most curious things regard ing new fashion is that it is almost always originated by some fair one whose social position would certainly give her no power in this direction. There is food purely for ironio laugh ter, in the sight of the great ones of the earth meekly transforming themselves into frights merely that footlight fa-, vorite chanced to look charming in some weird costume, specially designed to draw attention to her own good points.
 
 by nature that no monstrosity of fashion can conceal their good looks, but such peerless perfection belongs to few in- deed and thousands of might-be pretty girls conceal their prettiness by the wear ing of clothes that do not suit them in- stead of taking to their hearts the exam pie of the lovely and gracious lady who for many years has formed a charming object lesson for her feminine subjects in the art of dress
 Fashion should be adapted-not sav- ishly followed Extremes are always ugly, and surely nothing in the world could persuade a woman to wear a color unbecoming to herself-merely that it is fashionable"-once she frees herself suf- fioiently from the thrall of her tyrant to enable her to gaze seeingly into her mirror.
 That women dress to excite the cAFfous admiration of other women-and not that of man-is surely conclusively proved by the fact that they so frequently wear garments and adopt styles that are ugly in themselves.
 Mans eye for beauty and sense of fit- ness is infinitely stronger than that of woman.
 He may not know what dress or hat has survived from last season, but he will know in an instant if it is becom- ing to it's weafer. ana fittingly worn at the moment.
 The oyerdressed woman is a horrifying spectacle to any man-yet it is an ad- mitted fact that women in these days habitually overdress, and for morning and business wear, don garments that would better befit full dress occasions

Answers to Correspondents

10 ]. D. Hazard, who asks whether there is truth in the statement that therc 1s tendency to intermarriage in the Haz gard family. also what is the correct spelling of this name-Hazard or Haz- gard?
 The early records of the Hazard or Hazard family in America show a re- markable number of instances of the marriage of cousins; in fact, there was harly Hazard household in those daNs in which at least one member did not marry a first or second cousin. The most striking fact is that, contrary to the views of many people of this subject the families of these cousins were usually the largest and strongest.
 To show that the intermarriages of tn, Hazard family did not impair it's fertility she psychologists have but to cite the casf Of Mrs. Maria Hazard, the mother oi Governor Hazard of Massachusetts.

A CORNER IN ANCESTORS

THE MARCH SON FAMILY

ecopyrisht, 19l5 by the Mcclure News
 paper SyndicateD
 The first man of the name of Margesor in this country came over in the May flower in 1920, but he died unmarried, probably, when he was a very young man, sometime during the first years of the Massachusetts Bay settlement. Unfortu- nately, therefore the name was unknown in the early history of the colonies and was finally brought to this country to stay by way of Canada, many generation later.
 Itts not clear how the carly Margesons came to Canada. but in 17S3 there was a worthy loyahst' of the name of Gideon Margeson in Annapolis, Nova Scotia, who married Lavinia, daughter of one Rob ert Wilson, of New York and a sister of Christopher, who is described in the his tory of Annapolis as an "emigrant of 1774 from Yorkshire"
 Gideon and Lavinia Margeson had seven chiidren-John, Robert, silas, Iavinia, Thomas, Peter and Christopher, from from the family now claims descent
 Both Margesson and Margeson are probably contractons of the name Mar kefisOD, Wn1cn means son or Mar1Ory," or son of Margaret" Other forms of the same name are Margetts, Margetson. Maggsi and Magson, all rather unusual in England and almost unknown in this country. The first man of the name was probably the son of some distinguished woman named Marjory or Margaret There are several other surnames derived from the names of women, although. of course they are much less usual than such names as Thompson and Johnson, which mean, respectively, the son of Fhornar and the son of John.
 The Margessons of Offington Sussex do notsaccept this derivation of the name. They claim to be descended from tho French family of Argenson. They say that one John d'Argenson who lived in France in 1449 had two sons one of whom fought in the battle of .Pavia and the ether. Peter, came to England and Founded the Offington family of Marges- sons. The Margetsons of Yorkshire also claim this derivation of the name but many gcnealogists consider such a deriva ton rather fanciful.
 II is quite possible that the Nova Scotia Margesons were originally of the family of Yorkshire, England, although their connection with the English family has not been sclearly recorded
