dollars. that hurt. 1t was the
devastating disappointment - and
the realization that she had been
deceived and cheated.
She had supposed you couldn't
get bad clothes in Paris any more
than you could get poor food. Yet
there was this awful frock, which
bulged where it should have receded
and was stiff where it should have
bee nsoft and supplel It made her
look like a Dutch market woman.
why hadn't she been firm and
sacrificed her hundred-franc de-
post rather than go on with the
order and have this hideous rag to
show for it,
She got up and began to drag the
frock Off. She would use her own
little money for it. She would
bundle it up and send it to her poor
cousins back home. Paul need
know nothing about her humiliating
failure.
But before she had it Off, Paul
came in.

Is 1T FOREMAN?


There were originally two sur
names. one meaning husbandman
or farmer and the other with the
meaning Of small cottage man."
Now these names have become so
confused that it is difficult 10 tell in
which group 10 classify all our Bord-
mans, Boardmans. Boremans and
Bermans. It might be simple to say
that Bordman and Boardman are al
ways derived from the name de-
rived from Board-man. Board here
clearly is the old word meaning a
small cottage and the first who bore
the name was a man who lived in a
small cottage. Borman and Bore
man clearly comes from "Boer"
meaning farmer and man"
But il happens that a large num-
ber Of American Bordmas are de-
scended from an English emmigrant
who spelled his name Boreman.
This spelling was retained in the
family until 1912 when the name
became Bordman and in 1850 an a
was first added making the name
Boardman. At the present time we
