HOW 1T STARTED
Without Jot or Title. >
BY JEAN NEWTON.

The newspapers are telling of the
scion of a wealthy and prominent
family who. because of his marriag ge,
has been cut off by his father with
out jot or title" The phrase means,
of course, that he has been left abb
solutely nothing.
A little" from the Latin "titulus"
meaning label, is a Distinguishing
mark used over letter for purposes
of pronunciation, as the little over
the IN" in canon. 1t is accepted, too,
as meaning particle-anything
without value or significance.
"Jot," though of different deriva-
ton, has the same significance. Taken
from the Greek 'jota," it signifies the
dot over the 81 or any point or little.
1t also is used figuratively to describe
anything of the slightest value.
And so the phrase without jot or
title" is well chosen to describe a
lack of any possessions at all. For
it would be a highly imaginative per-
son who could think of something that
means less than without jot or
title

Present Fad for Wearing Anklets
BY MARY MARSHALL.

earlier in the season a woman was
seen with bare legs adorned with 4
Water-color floral design. The amaZ-
ing thing was that she was an Amer
lean and she was not a manneGuin.
From the Partisan point of view, of
course, it seems hardly understand.
able how any woman not a mannequin
and not an actresS-in no way obliged
by her position to make herself con-
spicuous-should do anything of that
sort.
Women often excuse themselves for
new fashionS-abSurd or otherwise
on the ground of economy. Now they
say that sheer silk stockings are very
expensive and that sand is very bad
for them. At the SeaShore they wish
to go without. But, as yet, the mum
ber of women either here or abroad
who have given up stockings is surely
not great enough to warrant any
alarm on the part Of the stocking
makers.
In the meantime stockings are In.
creasingly important in the wardrobe
of a we'll dressed woman, and it is
more and more important to choose
stockings wisely and knowingly.
Some we'll dressed woman follow the
rule of wearing stockings always that
are just n shade lEhter than the Shoe
with which they are to be worn.
This rule they apply save when for
evening they wear the very palest
bois de rose satin slipper and then
the stocking matches exactly.
One must, indeed, have we'll trained
eyes nowadays to be able to wear
shoes and stockings of just the right
shade. There is really a deal of diff
ference between such shades as ''at-
mosphere" and "champa gne," bran
and toast" French nude is one
thing and ordinary nude another.
There are aztec and almond and a
number of other shades of which
stocking dealers know-all of which
we might describe, as beige or light
brown. but each one of which calls
for a different shoe color.

wearing all day should be taken OF
and fresh one put on.
The nightEowns should he simply
made, with round necks, loose sleeves
and no heavy seams or rough edge
that will in any way rub or irritate
the tender skin. There should be at
least seven gowns. SO that d fresh
garment can be provided each day
and each night if needed. AS TO
whether they should fasten with
tapes or buttons. there is an equal
amount of discussion TO be advanced
on each side. The buttons break and
may cause discomfort, but babies
sometimes tangle their fingers in the
tapes or chew and wet them in their
mouths so that they form a regular
Gordian knot when it comes to get
ting them united.

At French seashore resorts bare
legs were not unheard of this Sum

noticeable. In fact. there is nothing
al all striking or shocking in the ef-
feet of stockingless legs, for they
look so very much like all other legs
covered only by the sheerest of
light stockings.

Distorp of Dour pame
BY PHILIP FRANCIS NOwLAS.
IIEYDON
VARIATIONS - Liddane, Laydor
Layton.
RACIAL ORIGIN-Irish.
SOURCE-A given name.

SUI HCE-N gwen name.
Here is a family name which, in
any form you may consider, Leydon,
Laydon, Layton or Liddane, seems to
be typically English. But it is not.
1t is Irish.
True the form Layton does often
come from an English source, but it s
not that Layton we are speaking of
in this article.
You'd never be mistaken about the
Gaelic form of the name, however.
1t is "O'Liodhain." From this form
have come the foregoing varied as
sortments of Anglicized forms, all of
them based more upon the sound of
the Irish name than upon its spelling.
The given name from which this
clan name is derived is "Liodhan," 4"
based upon the Irish word for Tit
any" and. therefore likely to appeal
to parents of religious inclination as
a suitable name for their sons.
The Chieftain of this name who
founded the clan came of the same
line as the O'Connors. The clan ter
ritory was in Tipperary.

figure. A resolution, introduced by
Irving 7. Bush, president of the Bush
Terminal Co, calling for the nation
wide exhibition of a painting by
George Inness, jr.. THE Only Hope,
was tabled yesterday after sharp
debate.
In urging the sending out of the
painting for exhibition in schools, art
galleries and colleges, Mr.. Bush said
the people of the South and West and
show them that the people of New
York are not just Wall Street money
gatherers-that Christ and hope and
idealism are part of our lives"
Darwin P. Kingsley, president Of

president of the chamber.

Must Furnish BO1
For Carrier Mail

The Post Office Department to-
day renewed it's demand that all
who receive mail from street car
riers shall provide a door slot or
receptacle for it. Carriers every
where were instructed to report
to postmasters all dwellings, not
provided with receptacles, and
postmasters were ordered to serve
notice on occupants of such dwell
ings to provide them within a
reasonable time.
Postmaster Mooney said today
that, generally speaking, Wash
tngton residences were not behind
in equipment for receiving mail,
the campaign of more than a year
ago for slots or boxes having been
very successful. However, new
houses have sprung up since and
a general canvass again will be
made with a view of having every
house SO equipped to speed up the
carrier. and insure safety OF the
mail he delivers
