THE BRITTON FAMILY.

The First Man Named Britton Was
a Native of Brittany-The First

Descent to William D9rant, who
Fled from France to England in
157O-Maynard Family Is De-
scended from John Maynard from
Cambridge, England.
Although one might suppose that the
name Britton was first applied to a ma
tive of Great Britain, the fact seems to be
that it was used to designate a native OF
Brittany. or a Breton. Thus a French
man from that section located In Eng
land was called a Britton. The name is
known in other forms in various parts
Of France where a native OF Brittany
would be designated by his native coun-
try. However, the Brittons In this coun-
try came from England and the family
was probably long established there be-
fore the migration to this country.
The founder of the family was one
James Britton who came to this country
probably on the ship Increase" from
London in 1885, aged twenty-seven. In
1910 he was in Charlestown and later in
woburn. He died in 1866. leaving widow,
Jane, who married again Isaac Cole, OF
Charlestown. She took with her to her
second husband her sons by her first
husband, Peter and William Breton,
and these were the, founders of the
family. William married Mary Pendle-
ton. Their son, William, married Lydia
Leonard. The name in England was
known as early as the reign Of Henry II.
when one of the family was assessed
for the marriage Of Maud, the king
daughter.
The coat-of-arms here shown is one of
the oldest for the family. although there
is no especial substantiation of the claim
of the American family to bear It 1t Is

Lovely White Skin!
Strain lemon juice we'll before
mixing and massage face,
neck, arms, hands.


By all means, girls. prepare
lemon lotion to keep your skin flex-
ible and young looking. You will
soon realize that true loveliness does
not mean the powdery look or waven
colorlessness of some dollhouse
flower, but is typifed by the velvety
softness of your skin, your peach-like
complexion and rosy-white hands
At the cost of a small Jar or or.
binary cold cream one can prepare a
full quarter pint of the most wonder
full lemon skin softener and complex
ion beautifier, by squeezing the juice,
of two fresh lemons into a bottle con,
tanning three ounces of orchard white.
Care should be taken to strain the
juice through fine cloth so no lemon
pulp gets in, then this lotion will
keep fresh for months. Every wom-
an knows that lemon juice is used
tc bleach and remove such blemishes
as freckles, sallowness and tan. and
IS the ideal skin softener, smoother
and beautitier.
Just try it! Get three ounces of
orchard white at any pharmacy and
two lemons from the grocer and make
up quarter pint of this sweetlv fra
grant lotion and massage it daily into
the face, neck, arms and hands. 1t
should naturally help to whittier,
soften, freshen and bring out the
roses and hidden beauty of any skin.
