BRODIE
vARlATioNS-Brody, Rrothie.
RACiAI-Scottlsh

VARlATioNS-Brody Brothie.
RAciAL-ScottIsh.
soURcE-A locality, or place name.
Brodie is the name of one of the
Scottish clans. much of the ancient
history Of which was lost for all time
when, about 1645, Lord Gordon spread
waste their lands and burned their
stronghold.
RacialIy the clan does not seem to
have been Gaelic, for originally it
came from Moray, from which 1t must
be concluded that it probably was
Pictish.
But about 1850 it begins to. appear
upon the historical records which re-
main today as one of the clans which
was loyal to King Malcolm Nv at the
time when he insured himself against
future rebellions by transplanting
certain clans which had questioned
his authority. The Brodies were
among those who received grants of
land at that time.
The clan name itself was ap-
parently derived from a place name,
that of "Brodie," or as it appeared in
one of the old Latin writs of King
Alexander III. "Brothie," a locality
In Moray. The place name is de-
scriptive of the nature of the ground,
meaning countryside broken by lit
tie ridges of ground.
The transition from the clan names
of Scotland and Ireland to family
names virtually is no transition at
all, for in those ancient days in which
the clan names originated they full
filled all the functions of the modern
family name, in addition to having
significance in the political and social
structure of those days. Indeed, the
Scottish and Irish clans still live in
cherished tradition among those who
bear their names, If not legally as
clan organizations

light over it. 1t is her very own, you
know, and is to stand out here where
she can rest and nap in it every after
noon.
II realized that she didn't have any
really cool place to rest in. and no
very comfortable one either. Her
own room Is small and naturally
stuffy, and she used to sit on the
hard back steps until I thought OF
this. I suppose our servants have q

Your Home and

A Boon for Bridget.
BY HELEN KENDALL.

The shady suburban street was
very quiet. with the tranquil warmth
of mid-afternoon. Far away down
the road some boys could be heard
playing base ball. A delivery auto
mobile trundled by. Two girls in
pretty sweaters walked past. 1t was
just such a peaceful scene as you
may find in any friendly residence
section on a sunny afternoon.
The next-door neighbor had run in
to talk over plans for the community
open-air concert. She laughed as she
entered, and said to her hostess
friend:
''Do tiptoe over here to the window
a moment. and look at the picture in

So together the two women stepped
to the side dining-room window and
peered out through the golden sun
