Jew Hats Which Reveal Young Eyes
BY MARY MARSHALL.

The exact angle at which the hat
was worn has been a very important
matter. Lately hats have been pulled
quite low at the back-the shingled
head has been responsible. Though
we have been wearing hats of all
sorts low on the brow at the front,
we have worn them considerably low
er in the back-so that the line Of
the crowns brim has not been a
level one
With the new little hats that have
already appeared on the heads of
some of the young girls who have
affected the bobbed shingle the line
is more that of a bonnet than any
thing else, for the base of the crown
snuggles low across the back and
then curves upward at front, fitting
closely al the sides of the eyes.
These little bonnet-shaped hats are
still sufficiently unusual to attract
quite little attention. DO you sup
pose shes wearing her hat that way
on purpose?' you may whisper when
YOU see some smartly dressed young
girl with her hat an inch or so off
her forehead at the front. We have
all grown so accustomed to the hat
that shades the brow and we'll nigh
hides the eyes altogether. Then you
observe that the hat is shaped so that
when off the brow in front it sits
low at the back. 1t couldn't very
well be worn any lower in front
And, of course, the young fry who
affect these little hats are greatly
pleased with them. and they truly
are quite becoming.
The sketch. shows one OF them
made of brown satin ribbon faced
with gold.

Distorp of Dour Rame
BY PHILIP FRANCIS NOWLAN.
MAXWELL.
RACIAL oRtGlN-Scottish.
SOURCE-A locality.

The origin of this name as fam
lily name is easily understood when
a glance through the gazetteer shows
a place of this name on the River
Tweed, in Scotland.
Persons changing their residence
from this locality to others naturally
would be referred to as having come
from this place, providing they did
not consciously adopt the surname as
a distinguishing mark.
But how did the place get Its name ?
There is an explanation advanced
that the family name is of Gaelic
origin, and that the place took its
name from the personal name. In
this explanation the source is given
as the Gaelic "macsual" or little
SON. But logical thought does not
| incline to belief in this source.
Actual historical record, in fact
| fatty contradicts it. The place go,
it's name in the reign of King DayiG
| of Scotland in the eleventh century
! when a chieftain named Macchus OBJ
| tanned grants of land from the mon
arch on the River Tweed.
| The, name given to the place natu
| rally was Macchus- vile, and this IL
| the course of time under the influence
| of the Scottish speech has beer
| shortened and eupkonized into Max.

What Tomorrow Means to You
BY MARY BLAKE.
Pisces.

Tomorrow's planetary aspects are
quite adverse during the forenoon,
| although they show a slight improve
| ment thereafter, but at no time dur
| ing the day can any radical action or
| new departure be recommended. Or
| binary daily routine must receive
your attention, and, In order to dis
| charge even your customary duties
| 1t will be necessary to maintain poise
| and equilibrium. The vibrations are
| so sluggish that there will be a
: strong tendency throughout the day
| to become quarrelsome, disputatious,
| and argumentative, even with those
Of your immediate family. Self-con-
| unfavorable urgings, although read
ing Will undoubtedly help to miti-
gate the disturbing influences.
A child born tomorrow will be lusty
and strong at birth, but after the
early period of infancy will display
signs of weakness that will cause
serious misgivings. "F'orewarned is
| to be forearmed." and, in order prop
| erly to prepare this child for it's ply
steal troubles, great care should be
! taken in regard to it's nutrition and
, habits, so that its constitution may
| be built up In such a manner as to
enable 1t to weather the storm. It's
disposition will be sunny, although
mischievous: it's affection, especially
for the members of its own family.
will be great and abiding. 1t will have
| very retentive memory and an
alert intelligence. 1t will, however,
spoil many of its chances by its ex-
cessiye sense Of humor and its readi-
ness, at all times, to play jokes.
II tomorrow is your birthday you
/ are at times, a very cheerful COM
| panion, but owing to habits of in
trospection, become, at other tunes,
morose and eager to avoid the So
ciety and companionship of those
whom you love and who love you.
Life, it Is admitted, is a serious prop
osition, but, If only the seriousness
| of it Is considered, 1t is bound to be-
come a very drab affair.
You are great reader, and have
always had desire to travel You
are also a good conversationalist,
and in a circle of friends, usually oc-
cupy, by consent of all, the spotlight.
You are more of a theorist than
doer You can conceive many bril-
! liant ideas, but lack the "go-getting
ability to convert them into practi-
cal successes.
Well known persons born on that
date are: William Rimmer, sculptor;
Henry F. Durant, philanthropist
william Allen Butler, lawyer and au-
thor; Joseph jefferson, actor; David
Garrick, English actor and dramatist;
