Timothy Healy of ireland.

'Mr. Speaker" Tim Healy, the new
governor general Of Ireland, once re-
marked on the floor Of the house of
commons, there are two united par
ties in this house. / am one of them"
No biographer will ever write any
thing more truly descriptive Of Tim
othy Healy at most of the high mo-
ments Of his remarkable career. He
Is always united; ne agrees with
himself as to just what he wants to
do and just how he intends to do It.,
and, as often as not. he stands alone.
He is in no sense a mugwump. He
is distinctly a party man on the side
of the party with which he happens
TO agree. And in nation, whose
political parties change their names
and beliefs as often as we do our
undertaking. 1t Is a good thlng TO
have here n few hardy souls who can
stand the exposure Of their own un-
changing ideal to the blasts of what
ever political wind may chance 70
blow. Such a man Is Sir Horace
Plunkett, and such d man-though
such a different mans Timothy
Healy.
Sir Horace is the gentlest of men;
Tim. the snappiest; Sir Horace Is
lovable; Tim commanding. In fact.
when you eliminate the one matter OF
their unchanging loyalty to their
ideals. and the superficial fact that
each wears a beard, you have two
Irishmen no more apt to agree with
each other than any other two Irish
men-and that is no mathematical
certainty, But Sir Horace, because
everybody loved him, was chosen to
preside over the famous Irish con-
vention in 1917. And Tim Healy was
chosen-by the king. to be sure, but
on the recommendation of the pro-
visional government-to be the first
governor general under the terms of
the Irish peace.

them, is not, and never will be, their
own.
Ownership and enjoyment Of it

the Lord opened to Adam and Eve

that was the way He taught them
that Gimme was not part of His

Of all you must be sure that the egg
shells have been thoroughly cleaned
and made even along the edges so
that they form good-shaped little
cups. Fill them loosely with cotton
batting that has been we'll fiufred
Then crochet a star-shaped net in
long chain-stitched loops to serve as
a basket web for the shell to rest in.
Also crochet a loop by which you can
hang 1t. Use a mercerized thread in
lilac or leaf-green color.
Moistern the cotton batting gener-

VARIATIONS - mcGrath. MacGrath,
MaGrath, MaccraIth, Maccrae. Creeth.
RACIAL oRiGrN-IrIsh. s-'--
SoURCE-A gwen name.
The Magraths of ireland were orig
inally an Ulster clan. and though
there is always the possibility that
the family name may have, in iso-
lated cases. been formed independent
ly in other sections of the country. II
Is safe to assume that most of the
people who today bear any one Of the
foregoing family names can trace
their ancestry back to this northern
clan.
The Gaelic form of the name exists
as a variation which is not met, w:t h
today. II is "MacCraith.". formed in
the usual manner by the prehXing OF
the mac" indicating descendants
Off, to the given name.
The chieftain who founded this
clan was himself of the western
branch OF the O'Brassil elan.
All Of the foregoing variations, with
the exception OF MacCraith, are but
many different spellings being due to
the fact that the English alphaoe et
does not exactly parallel the Irish.
and even more so 10 the fact that
even where the letters and conbina-
tions of letters may be paralleled the
pronunciations are more. often than
not entirely different
Hence, in the translation of Irish
names into English no rule could be
followed except that of using. the
English spelling which would paral-
lei the sound And sometimes even
the Irish pronunciation differs in dif-
.crcnt localities.
