1t was lucky for Cha'tsrer that Mrs.

too close to that little round doorway.

Knitted Frocks Gaining i'm Favor
BY ANNE RITTENHOUsE

There's difference of opinion con-
cerning the present choice in knitted
fabrics. One reputed authority will
tell you that the smartest effect is
now gained when the design is
knitted into the fabric, as is the case
with the Fair Isle sweater; while
another, who speaks with just as
much conviction, will assure you
that the smartest effects are gained
when singled-toned knitted garments
or fabric are embellished by stitchery
of contrasting color. All OF when
probably only goes to prove that
there is wide variety OF choice III
the matter and that women of vari-
Gus taste are making use of these
convenient knitted garments.
OF one thing there is no doubt. and
that is that the makers of knitted
fabrics have gone ahead in their
work with leaps and bounds. and are
now producing the most interesting
effects and intricate stitches that re-
fabrics. as we'll as woolly astrakhan
finish, fabric like Turkish towel
ling, that Is very smart for trimming
this spring, and lacy effects that lend
themselves admirably to wear in
warm weather.
There are all sorts Of sport Jackets
golf and tennis jackets, japuettes.
sweaters. waistcoats. gilets-and one
finds 1T rather futile to try to dis
cover the boundary lines Of these diff
ferent garments. Sometimes a match
ing scarf is made with the little sport
jacket that is then worn with skirt
of all white or of the underlying
tone of the jacket. This has been
fashion especially liked at the
French resorts this spring. Some
times hat made of the knitted fab
ric in the same design and color Is
made to go with the jacket and scarf,
hut this is a fashion that seemingly
has less appeal here than In Europe.
The entirely knitted frock is doing
more than holding it's own. Some
women prefer this garment, provided
it has very short sleeves almost
Sleeveless-and is light in weight, to
any thing else they might choose for
golf or tennis. Surely knitted
frock of this sort that goes on all in
one piece makes the problem of
changing much simpler than when
the conventional blouse. tweed or
plated skirt, knotted handk erchicf
and jaquette or waistcoat must all be
put on piecemeal
There is some demand for long
sleeved knitted frocks. but not for
sport wear. They are especially con-
yenient for motoring or travel or for
a general day frock in the coun-
Try. before very warm weather sets
in. The sketch shows one of these
frocks recently designed to meet the

RACIAL oRIGIN-Irish.
SoURcE-A given name.
The manner in which the English
family name Of Collins and it's vari-
atoms, Collinson, Collet and Colet,
came into being has been explained
in a recent article. But here is an
Irish group which comes from an en-
tireIy different source.
In this case the true forms OF these
names, as nearly as they can be rem
dered with the English alphabet, are
"o'Collean" and "O,Cuileann," for
there are two Irish clan names sep
arate and distinct. which have been
Anglicized indiscriminately into the
foregoing spellings.
The "OCoileans," prior to the
breaking uD of the clan system in
Ireland, were one of the leading
clans Of Munster tracing the name:
to one "Coilean an Catha." free
translation of this name being
young war dog" 1t is to be noted
that the ancient Irish considered the
dog as noble animal, symbofizing
that headlong courage tor, as the
the ideal of the old Irish warriors.
The O'Collins or "O'Cuileanns" also
were powerful clan until they were
finally dfspossessed of their lands in
the thirteenth century as a result or
the Anglo-Norman invasions. Their
ick. and the clan derives its name
from chieftain named ''Culean,'
under whose leadership it first rose to
the dignity of clanshi1.

be sufficient. The bag should be
squeezed to force out the milky fluid

ReautY-Making Baths.

There is no reason why a bath
