CURTIS
Neutrality-suspicious..
RACIAL oRioiN-Enalish.
SoURcE-A sebrlqust.

The origin OF this family name Is
likely to prove puzzling to you, and
then, when 1t Is explained, make you
wonder why you never thought OF II.
Say courteous quickly and you
have Ii.
Courtesy in tho middle ages appAr-
emily was q virtue none too general,
else 1t would have been no distinction
10 call a man "Walter le Curteys.
On the other hand It was by no means
unknown, or the name would not be
SO widespread as II is today.
Curtis Is one of those names which
developed In many sections OF Eng.
land about the same time, but not
all Curtises are sprung from the same
stock.
There is another source OF the
| name. however, though a search OF
the old records discloses that 1t was
the source only in a minority Of cases
It was the word "Cur-hose." literally
"short-stocking," the sort of Sob
! rfquet that a man would gain Tor
himself by reason OF q popularity In
! his dress. As a matter of fact, the
name of "Short-hose" is to be found
! today In England, though the varta.
t>tion Is extremely rare.
There ts a tendency among many
| students of language to explain these
sobriquet family names by assuming
| that they are but corruptions, at one
! period or another, of already estab-
! ltshed names sounding somewhat like
| the corruption. But in this case, a;
| In many others, actual records prove
the contrary.

Feeding the Hands,

It was only the other day that
was talking about the value of plain
kitchen lard in making the hands
night, with loose gloves pulled over
the hands, so they could absorb this
nourishing fat for hours while you
slept. It's also very good to rub into
the hands after doing housework, and
especially after much dishwashing or
scrubbing-two things that take the
natural oils from the hands. leaving
them dry and too easily soiled.
A scrub woman ] knew personally
looking. 1 asked her about that once,
knowing her hands were in and out

She said that when she finished work
she washed her hands as clean as
possible, then coated them with
grease and pulled on old heavy gloves
which she wore home. 1t took nearly
