NEW YORK CITY.

| To know the meaning of the names
of our cities, what they were named
after, and who gave them these names,
is to understand a great deal that is
important and interesting about the
history of this country and its early
settlers.
The place where New York City. or
rather its chief borough. now stands
has been named three separate times
by three different races. The original
iinha bitants, the Indians. called it
l"Manhattan, which means the small
island" The Dutch named it New
Amsterdam" after the largest city in
Holland The word Amsterdam" sig
nifies the dam or dixie of the Amsel
river.
Then came the English, who named
| it New York" in honor of the Duke
of York, who took his title from the
famous old city of York, where Con-
stantine was elected emperor when
Rome was mistress of the world. The
Romans called this great military
camp "Eboracum." but to the Britons
lit was "Eurewic," which meant city
on river The Danes, who afterward
overran that part of England, modified
that name to Yerick. And from thence
York is but step.
The first foreign visitor to New York
was Verrazano, an Italian sailor in the
employ of the French. In 1924 he sailed
up the. American coast on voyage OF
discovery and came into New York
harbor, where he traded with the In
dians little and then went away.
Eighty-five years passed after this
flying visit before another ship came
into the harbor But in 1909 a queer
little Dutch vessel called the Half
Moon sailed through the NarrOws.
This was commanded by Henry Hud-
son, an English sailor in the employ
of the Dutch East India Company
A few years later Holland laid claim
to all the land along the great river"
and called the whole territory New
Netherlands" Then Peter Minuit, di
rector general of the East India Com
pany, bought Manhattan Island from
the Indians for sixty guilders ($24).
This was undoubtedly the. best bar
gain ever offered in New York real
estate A small block house. Fort
Amsterdam, was built and the place

Jacket, and yet too warm for serge

costume, the color dark blue. Moth
ing is smarter than blue or wears
better. The interesting feature of
the suit is the jacket, which has
convertible collar. The back may be
made with or without tab extensions,
while the circular peplum is cut in
three pieces. To make the entire
costume requires 51s yards 44-inch
or Az yards 54-inch material.
AS two styles of sleeves are provid-
ed, the home dressmaker should be
careful to distinguish between the
coat sleeve and the fancy sleeve
when cutting. These are marked H"
and 'I'', respectively, and plainly
shown on the cutting guide. The
back of the jacket and back of the
peplum. with the collar. are laid on

Quite as effective as faille and less
expensive are the silk poplins. eros

Home of Future to
be Home Electrical,
Says an Authority

| We believe that the home of Iae
future will be the home electrical.
| Even today we are coming closer to
| this ideal and one of the pieces OF
| electrical equipment which, more per-
! haps than any other, is working TO-
ward the emancipation of the servant
| in the home is the electric motor.
Within the past few years the motor
for home use has been considerably
perfected, and there are ON the mar
ket several most reliable motors which
can be utilized in the various kinds
OF taske at present done by hand
The electric motor attached to a
sewing machine is as great an advance
in its way as was the machine itself
over hand sewing. BY its use no tread
ling is required. All that is necessary
is to guide the cloth under the needle.
Naturally the speed with which one
can sew is very much greater and far
less effort is needed, since there is no
wearying peddling with the feet.
This type of motor is very small and
is to be fitted directly on the machine
permanently. 1t is operated by cord
with plug which fits into any electric
light socket and which can be removed
when the machine is not in use.
Another use for the motor is its at
tachment to a washing machine,
another piece of drudgery The ma
chine of course, must be made and spe-
cially fitted for motor use, but the
same motor that operates the washer
can also be used with an ice cream
silver pOlisher, etc. In some cases
it is wise to purchase a small power
table so that the motor can rest on the
lower shelf while the power head on
the table top can connect with the
various appliances as it is desired that
they should be used. There is scarce
ly one household task from max
ing bread, cake. grinding meat, beat
ing eggs, polishing silver, grinding COT
fee, that cannot be much fore eff
GENTLY done by the use of the motor
and mechanical power than by the
hand
Another point in favor OF the motor
operated equipment beside the lessen
ing of fatigce is the cleanliness of OPP
Grafton. Anyone who has watched a
drugstore clerk beating a matted milk
or chocolate preparation by means OF
an electrically operated mixer will
be struck with the Levy. OF splashing
and the extreme cleanliness of the pro-
cess. No matter how skilled the hand
there is a precision and neatness about
electrically operated processes that
cannot be duplicated by the human
touch.
The cost of such motor is fairly
high but it must be regarded as an in
vestment extending over a term of
years so that the final cost is rela-
lively low when one considers the
time, effort saved and the less human
help needed when such apparatus is
used

Wrinkles---Their Cause and Prevention

There is something very pathetic
about an appeal which came 10 me
recently regarding wrinkles. Il have
had cause TO worry grea. deal late
| ly. and for the first time my smooth
skin is becoming scanned with wrin-
kles. Please tell me what to do to
restore my skin to its original unlined
condition"
Worry is the chief foe of perfect
skin, and if you desire to retain that
child-like smoothness of skin which
is one of beauty's greatest charms you
must eliminate worry from your mind.
The outward visible signs of inward
worry appear in the dissguring lines
which extend from the nostrils to the
lips. The hard, set expression which
results from this unhealthy condition
of the mind causes the muscles to be-
come tense and they shrink away from
the skins which becomes wrinkled.
Danish worry from the kingdom of
beauty, for it exacts too great a toll
robbing you of peace of mind and Civ
ing nothing in return but furrowed
brow
There are three other causes of
wrinkles-age. WEAKNESS and the bad
habit of squirting or making faces
when the eyes are exposed to strong
light.

we cannot arrest the process; but we
can retain the appearance of youth
for a long, long time. To do this you
must give constant attention to your
complexion, so that the tissues will be
kept well nOurished and firm. Mas
sage your skin daily with the following
cold cream:
Spermaceti, y ounce; white wax, y
ounce; oil of sweet almonds, 2 ounces

It is not Il difficult matter for the
accustomed eye to read the characters
written by WEAKNESS upon the smooth
surface of the skin. They are fine,
hairline creases rather than the deep
burrows caused by worry or age. They
are the hardest to remove of all wrin-
kleS because the tissues have grown
weary and limp, and do not stretch
