DeriUGtion of Names
Of Parts OF Church

When you enter a place Of worship,
you first pass through the porch, and
may then proceed to an aisle, or pos
gibly take a seat In the nave, or near
the chancel.
Porch, aisle, chancel, and nave are
all queer words. Some have been
built up just anyhow; others are de
rived from the Latin, and twisted
weirdly in the process.
Porch" for instance, is the word.

>porta," a gate. Why "ch" pushed

"Aisle"-the schoolboy who called
this word a wicked speller" was quite

made Of "ala," a wing. An aisle, Of
course, Is swing Of a church.
~Chancel" is really the Cancelled"
or shut-off part of a church. and its
word-parent Is "canceIi," meaning
lattice work"
The connection-or the excuse for
the word "chanceI'-lies in the fact
that carved screens, or lattice work,
generally divided the east end OF
church from the other parts.

Dainty Novelties

Gold and Silver, Neck
laces, Heels.

An unusual golf hat for southern
chimes and spring has tees incorpo-
rated in its trimming. This applies
to the smart hat, whether 1t be turban,
close-fitting cloche, dropping brim
with CYCLIC crown or rolled-brim sports
hat. Cocards with snug fitting loops
hold the tees, which are so arranged
as to look like buckles. In no case
are the tees permanently attached to
the hat. They may be lifted out cas-
fly and used. The tees come in all
colors and are selected either to har-
monize with the rest Of the costume
or form contrast Later in the sea-
son it is expected that this trimming
will be seen on straw models.

for. rouge and the remaining space Is
covered with a sitter top for loose

chain of oblong links is attached on
each side near the top edge.
A short necklace of oblong, colored

in that it is contrary to the seasons

Sugar From Linen

There is now in Germany a manu-
factory which turns out daily 1000
pounds Of pure white sugar made from
old linen. An understanding of the
process helps somewhat to dispel the
unpleasant feeling we experience on
hearing of the fact. Clean old linen
is vegetable fibrin, and, when treated
with sulphuric acid. it is converted
into dextrin. This is washed with
lime water, then treated with more
acid, and it changes almost immedi-
ately, and crystallizes into glucose or
grape-sugar, which is so highly val
ued in the making of rich preserves
and jellies. The process is said to be
economical, and the sugar is found to
be chemically the same as the grape.
