APPLEBY
RACIAL ORiGiN-English.
SOURCE-A locality.

Appleby is one of those family
names which Is a straight develop
ment from the name of a place. and,
of course. in the first instance it's use
as a surname was to indicate that the
person bearing 1t had come from that
locality or was in some way con-
nected with It.
Appleby is the name of a town in
England. Hence, barring possible
usage on the part of a feudal overload
to denote suzerainty. II was the sort
of name that was adopted by persons
who had left that town and settled in
other parts, for 1t would have been no
distinction to speak of man as John
of Appleby when he was surrounded
by Rogers. Wills, Hamos. Jameses and
Roberts, all also of Appleby.
Some etymologists derived the place
name of Appleby from Anglo-Saxon
sources, holding that II is a combi-
nation Of the words apple" and by" +"
the latter meaning "tC-" AS a mat
ter of fact, however. the town was in
existence before Anglo-Saxon times,
and was known TO the Romans as
"Aballaba." which probably was the
Latin version of a British name.

the searcher, however far afield we
must venture In search of II, Not
every pine grove in the District boasts
its gay patch of the ladys slipper, for
ruthless picking, especially near town,
has stolen the public's property of
beauty.
If you prefer to walk in the cooler

soil forests along the Potomac, you
will not find the pink lady's slipper,
but you may chance upon the yellow

pure gold and handsome leaves which
clasp the stem all the way up.
The lady's slipper, or at least an
English species of it. was the subject
of one of the worlds greatest science
classics-Darwin' Fertilization OF
Orchids" In that delightful book he
tells of the marvellous contrlVance oy
which Nature has linked the bee and
flower in mutual service, and what he
says of the British species holds good
for our American slippers.
The bee, seeking the nectar for his
honey. comes to the lady slipper, ana
wriggles through the opening In the
flower at the top. He BUNDLES about
inside the slipper. sips OF the nectar,
and then seeks to get out again. lie
finds, however, that this is too diff
cult to do In the cramped position in
which he finds himself at the upper
opening, and finally energies by an
easier exit at the bottom OF the
flower. To do this, however. he has
to pass the stamens with their an
ther-sacs, and against these he
brushes violently. The pollen drops
out of the anther at this stimulus and
falls on the bee. When the bee Wis
its the next lady slipper he has the
same difficulty In getting out. AS he
blunders through the lower exit the
stigma. or female receptive organ OF

Navy Blue Has Become Very Smart
BY MARY MARSHALL.

lively speaking \ striking little
black suit will show a bright scarlet
crepe will have facings of pervenche
or periwinllle blue. A navy blue
cloth frock has iusets of purple ka sha.
Often note of contrast Is gained by
the addition of fresh white collars
and cuffs-possibly a fresh waistcoat
of pique.
The sketch shows a street frock Of
navy blue crepe de chine trimmed
with white net ruff1es and white pearl
buttons.
AT the Longchamps races near
Paris earlier in the season navy blue
attracted some attention. Navy blue
was spoken of as a 'once- popular
color" which had been mysteriously
revived. No one quite looked forward
to il. But before many days had
passed it had ceased to be a once
popular color and had been hailed as
one of the hits of the season.
One thing that makes navy blue
especially attractive to women OF
fashion at the present time Is the fact
that it combines so well with some of
the vivid colors that are in vogue.
Every shade of red may be used by
way of decoration with navy blue
deep cranberry red, henna, flag red
and the rest. Bright greens may be
used sparingly with navy blue and so
may shades of violet and brighter,
lighter shades of blue.

that as yet he Was merely threaten
