Merriam when that song began. For
1t had been one of Johns favorite

to her that she was more poignantly
unhappy than she had been at any
time since that miserable night when
she had left him; unhappier than she
had been at any moment since she
had known that he was missing.
So deep was her longing that she
was unconsciously rising to quit the
room when she felt Ralph Beechers

that the music had stopped and that

Use of Bandanna Handkerchiefs
BY ANNE RITTENHoUsE.

Handkerchiefs are to be decorative.
this Christmas 1t may be handker-
chiefs, but woe be to the woman who
imagines they are for her to use when
she has a cold, and woe be to them
if they fall into the hands of the
laundress.
Last February Paris adopted a
common decoration beloved by our
southern states. This was before the
visit to America of Paul Poiret. who
thinks the negro music and bandanna
head handkerchiefs unique among our
possessions. Some one, somewhere,
gave to a French designer an i'm
mense cotton bandanna handk erchief
wound about the cheap straw hats
of the hot south. This fired French
imagination. Hence. the fashion.
Last spring Paris indulged In 1t
to her hearts content. In Deauville.
during August, women matched the
handkerchief on their hats with
shoulder scarfs. The French dress
makers emulated the idea When
the Americans arrived the fashion
was established. Now it continues.

which rarely lends its prestige to
popular tribes. but this season 1t
saw in the bandanna handkerchief
something decorative.
The gown is of beige velours
which is a sturdier weave of duve-
tyne and is In full tide of popularity
this autumn. The frock Is cut on
simple lines with one colored hand
kerchief at the neck and another at
the waist.
Rodier. who makes materials for
the world. has created a handker-
chief tissue which is offered for
spring frocks. and dozens of gowns
are made with pockets in which i'm
mense handkerchiefs of silk with COL
ored borders are dripping downward.
One must give the credit to Jenny
of Paris, whose clothes we know as
we'll as our own store-bought pat
terms. for this handkerchief fashion
She started it nearly a year ago and
It has grown from a tiny speck on
the horizon to a cloud that shadows
both continents. One almost forgets
that such trities as fine white hand
kerchiefs are necessary. One Is so
enamored. evidently, of these new
immense squares of material, large
enough for breakfast trays.

1t consists of a stationary table,
with high benches or ingles on either
side, seating a family of four or less
with snug comfort and a certain de-
gree of novelty and charm. Many at

similar hooks, and the service seems
to be just as easily managed and as
efficeitn as If the table were a large

VARIATIONS - MaeNevln, Bone,

RACIAL oRioIN-IrIsh.
SoURcE-A given name.
The family name Of Nevin should
not be confused with that OF Nfven.
though. owing to the ease with which
one form may be corrupted into the
other through the simple transposi-
tfon of yowels which sound very much
alike, there is no doubt that there
have been many instances in which
Niven has been changed into Nevin,
and vice versa.
The family name of Nevin. unlike
Niven, is distinctly Irish. 1t Is not
found among the historical lists Of
the Scottish clans and sects.
1t is derived from the given name
of "Cnamhin," which means "a bone."
and appears In ito true Irish form as
a pronunciation virtually the same as
"Nevin."
In some cases Irish clans OF this
name trace 1t back to a younger
brother of "Owen Nor" or Owen the
Great, one of the ancient Irish mon
archs. though the family name does
not track back to this same individual
in all cases.
At various periods, under pressure
of English laws AMI customs. the
name has been translated into the
English equivalent Bone" and into
Bonass and Bowen on account Of
their similar sounds.
There Is q family name of Bowen
also of Welsh origin. but it Is not
the same, being simply the modern
form OF "Ap-Owen," or son OF Owen"

Soothing Powders.

Powders are SO soothing and re-
freshing to the skin that they can
only be considered beneficial. Those
who object to the use of any sort Of
powder must do. SO. for other than
physical reasons, for a pure powder
used in moderation can never be
harmful
Face powders are so difficult to
make, and SO easy and inexpensive to
buy. that I usually advise my readers
not to attempt making these at home.
However, here is a simple one which
will be found most satisfactory.
Take any desired quantity of pow
dered starch. the ordinary sort used
for making puddings will do very
well, although the starch made from
rice or potatoes, which is purchased at
drug stores, is slightly finer and bet
ter. Add powdered orris root In the
proportion of three parts starch to
one of orris root.
That forms the basis of the powder.
You will, of course, want 1t perfumed.
If you make this in the summer, take
the petals of any favorite blossom
and bury them in the starch renew
ing the flowers every day for week.
Then sift OF the powder. By that
time IL will have q fresh, delicate
perfume whioh you could not possibly
buy. II you oonhot get. fresh noweEs,
