recall ever having felt quite so un-

that board, which had seemed plenty
big enough before that piCkerel came
along, now seemed very far from big

Distorp of Dour name

VARIATIONS-O'Hanagan. Han

RACIAL ORIGlN-Irish.
SOURCE-A tuiven name.
URCE-A given name.

Like virtually all Irish family
names, of course, those in this group
are derived from a clan name, and the
given name from which the clan name
was derived was "Aonaghan."
In the formation of the clan name
there was prefixed the CO." or rather
the "Ui," for it was spelled that way
in the days when the clan name was
formed. thus giving the name the
meaning of descendants of Aon-
CHAN" the given name taking the gen
tive case.
But the combination of vowels thus
produced was difficult of pronuncia-
ton, 50. for the sake of euphony, an
''h' was inserted between them,
making the clan name "O'h-Aona-
chan" tthe 'g' changing into a &C
in the formation of the genitive case).
As nearly as can be ascertained, the
clan came into existence about the
year 100 A.D., and from the same
stock as the "O'Brocain.' the oh
Eadhradh" and the "O'Duanna, j." which
clan names translated into English
are the O'Brogans, the O'fIaras and
the Doans, or ODoans.

the rushing-aroun process.
If girl has been very fond of
some man she probably dislikes to
hurt his feelings when he has no
longer any appeal for her. She wants
to break 1t to him gently, and vet she
doesn't know just the best method
Recently a girl wrote me that she
had been going with the same boy for
three years. She thought at one time
that she was desperately in love with
him and believed herself to be per
fectly contented with his company
alone.
Then she began to look around and
notice that all the other girls were
having much gayer time than she.

several boys a week, while she stiIl

neared the end of our work.
Making a garden is not all, replied
Mr. Burbank, unless the making be
followed up with unremitting care and
watchfulness, and unless the right
conditions of soil, moisture, air and
sunlight are provided
Making a garden and leaving it to
chance is no more all than it would
be to bring children into the world,
leave them to chance or not provide
the right care in the way of food, sun
light and fresh air.
Above all, the garden needs love
love that greets each new blossom as
1t opens, love that watches over the
flowers, love that guards from all
harm. and establishes with them that
invisible, but indispensable bond of
sympathy and understanding which
they need as much as little human
plants.
