She had almost forgotten the thrill of
making a conquest. of Eeing popular.
and yet it wasn't so long ago.
Merton cut in again, and she
laughed into his eyes. Was it because
Con wasn't with her that she enjoyed
dancing with other men? She had
been to parties since her marriage

ANSON.

VARIATIONS Hansen, Anottson,
RACIAL oRieIN-Enslish.
SOURCE-A given name.
Family names in this group may
come either from the masculine given
name of John or Anthony, or the
feminine name of Ann.
But the presence or absence OF the
initial IF" in the family name con-
stitutes no indication whatever
whether or not it comes from Ann or
Hans.
AS has been explained in previous
articles, the name of John was more
anciently Johan or Johannes. 1t has
given rise to such varied forms as
John, Joan, Han, Hans, Joanna.
Jevon, Ivan, Hannah, Anna, Ann and
others too numerous to mention, and
to a still more numerous list OF
family names, prominent among which
are Jones, johnson, Hahn, 4Haenn and
the like.
AS a family name the form of Anson
might have come into being either
from "Ann's-son' or from Hans
son. And it might also have come
from "Anthony's.son.' The "ot" syl.
liable appearing in the other two vari.
ations is simply the regular Norman
diminutive, meaning ''little," which
we find in the given name of Annette
for instance, but which was equally
applicable to masculine and feminine
names.
When we say that these family
names may come either from Ann
John or Anthony, we mean that doubt
exists only in the individual instance,
for the old records clearly establish
that they actually did come variously
from all three of these sources.

At the Oranges Elsie received her
with open arms and to Jeans relief
asked her no questions as to why Con
hadn't come, too. Instead she helped
her off with her things and drew her
into the brightly lighted living room.
Billy came to meet her. The radio
was going and some one asked her to
dance. He was a tall, good-looking
man with a sophisticated line, and
Jean found it fun hurting remarks
back and forth When the dance came
to a close Merton Thorne came up and
claimed her. She began to feel very
much better.
This is like old times" Merton
drawled in her ear. do you know
you've changed lot since your mar
riage, Jean. I hope you're. not going

who have eyes and ears for no one

gurgling little laugh. why don't
YOU ask me to chaperOn for the Glee

They danced to the end of the room
and sat down together on a wide dav

drink and Jean slipped it recklessly.
BY the way she said suddenly.

Merton flushed. "She doesn't come

very much. Besides, she belongs to

hadn't felt free to entertain. The liN-
