They are sincere and honest state

come, upon those who die I'm their

needs a lotion to keep her hands from
chapping in cold weather. She needs
a full manicure equipment. No school
mistress can object to that.
IL she has tendency to pimples,
the health director of the school
should see she has proper diet.
But she should have a small bottle of
saturated solution of acetanilid and

Brownie had made their home in the

Three Quarters Blouse for Autumn
Here's an interesting bit of fashion

Two years ago the blouse that ex-
tended to or below the knees was
ushered into fashion. 1t fingered on
the threshold for while, People
talked about 1t oftener than they
wore it. They looked at it in the shops

points stressed in its favor was that.
with a costume slip of some sort. it was
complete. You could make the slip your
self at a trifiing cost or one costume
slip might be used as the complement Of
several of these long blouses. They
were then called costume blouses.
Within a few weeks blouses that
extend to or below the knees have
been ushered into fashion again.
They are not called costume blouses
and they are spoken of as something
quite new. They are spoken of as
three quarter length Russian blouses.
A point mentioned in their favor Is
that with costume slip they are
complete. You can make the slip
yourself at a trifling cost-and so on.
And this time they have been re-
ceived with enthusiasm from the first,
and unless we are all very much mis-
taken they VIII nave very Important

women.
Now. why did the costume blouse
fail, while this new three-q quarter or
: Russian blouse seems to be succeed
ing? Ask the psychologist and he
smiles benignly. Women are capri
cious,% he says, and fashions more
capricious."
This new three quarter length
blouse is the successor of the
jaquette which some purveyors of
women's clothes will tell you is quite
passe-though your own opinion may
be that it is only "passant,"
At present the three quarter length
blouse has not become what in the
jargon of department store proprie-
tors is known as a popular number" F."
owing to its present high price.
And that. of course, is good omen
for the blouse of this type. But
there are many things about it that
should give it friends-even If it
never does become popular" 1t is
easily adjusted. The ready made
Russian blouse needs very little
fitting to suit even the fastidious,
since it has an indefinite waist line
and often posse sses sleeves open at
the wrist 50 that short-armedness or
long -armedness presents no special
problems.
Sometimes the tunic section of the
blouse fits quite narrowly, allowing
something of a flare of the slip or
skirt below the end of the blouse.

This family name, Calhoun being a
modern variation of the true form
of Colquhoun, comes from the name of
one of the clans of the Scottish High
landers. which derived it from the
name of the locality in which the
members established themselves, the
barony in West Fitzpatrick (or Kirk
patrick, in Dumbartonshire.
Beyond this .he mists of the past
cloud the search for the origin of the
place name. BY some the name of
Coiquhoun is supposed to be derived
from the given name of ''Conachin." I"
BY others it is explained as "Colg-
chuoin.' a personal names meaning
rwar-dog," and virtually the sane as
the name of that great Irish warrior
of antiquity, "Cuchulin." The names
do not look alike. but remember that
the gutterals of the Gaelic are rather
difficult to indicate. and that the
Gaelic speech itself has undergone
changes. from its ancient form. just
as English, French and German have
done.
The Clan Colquhoun, however, dates
only from about the year 1910 or so.

Humphrey de Fitzpatrick, who. though

grant of land in that section from
the Earl of Lennox in the reign of
