NUSICAL NOTES

The concert of the New Britain Musical club in the Camp school auditorium Tuesday night has gone down in the annals of the club as one of the most successful given by local performers in the history ol this active organization. Parucu- larlv noteworthy was the splendid presentation Of string music, in con- nection with which the new string quartet of the club made it's debut. The four players consisting of Her bert E. Anderson, Howard 1. Stearns, Raymond Ostmas and Henry G. Schauffler, gave portions of Haydn and Beethoven quartet, with a lighter number in between, and made the audience feel inclined to listen to an entire quartet played by these men at some later date.
 Mr. Anderson created fine i'm prcssion by his remarkable playing Of the sonata in G, for violin and piano. by Greg. He was accom- panied at the piano by Theron w. Hart. Others on the program were Miss Florence Ruth Tommasoni, who made a splendid impression with her presentation of piano pieces, and John Lindsay, baritone, who pro- ieCted pleasing songs.

The white Of eggs gives the light

The first thing to note about this
family name Of NacRaith Is that Il
has 10 connection whatever with the
| Irish family name of MacCraith, which
is really q variation of Nagrath
though the spelling is almost identical
and you would be more likely to think
MacRatth connected with the Irish
name than with Its other Scottish
| forms.
The original Gaelic form of the name
is Mac -Gille- Riahhalch, and its
meaning Is, roughly, descendant Of
the freckled man" AL Of the present
forms of the name are either phonetic
spellings or true Angltcized forms
Such forms as Reoch, Riach and Re
vie are more likely to represent Low
land variations Of the Highland name
than anything else.
The MacEafths. according to tradi-
ton, were the hereditary bards to the
chiefs of the Clan Donald North, and
