THIS surname, originally written
Pen, was taken from a Celtic topo-
graphical word, meaning conical top,
generally in a range of hills There
are, however, a number of parishes
in different parts of England bearing
the name of Penn.
William Penn, the founder of Penn
sylvania, or "Penn's Woods" derived
his name form the parish of Penn in
Buckingham County, England.
William Penn was the son of Sir
William Penn of the English Royal
Navy, a great admiral and favorite
of the King. Upon his death in 1910.
he left an ample fortune and claim
for f16,000 against the crown. His
son william, who had become an ar
dent Quaker, asked for a grant of land
in America in satisfaction of the claim
which was readily agreed upon. Penn
obtained the land lying north OF
Maryland on the east bounded with
the Delaware River, on the west limit
ed as Maryland is, and northward to
extend as far as plantable" into the
as yet unclaimed Indian country. The
King pleased his own fancy by call
ing the grant pennsylvania" in honor
of his old friend The grant was
dated March 4, 1851. BY 1885, there
were more than 1000 settlers there,
the English predominating, but al
most one-half the number were Ger
man, Dutch, Swedish, French Films
and Scotch Irish. All creeds and kinds
were given q welcome.

Bedtime Stories
BY THORNTON W. BURGESS.

brighter every minute. He was very
comfortable where he was.
1T is foolish to think Of going
home now" thought he. "I am just
as safe here as would be there and
1 am so near that clover that can
slip out and get a bite whenever 1
feel like 1t and with almost no risk.
Besides, am feeling rather sleepy.
I'll just spend the day here"
So Wigglenose settled himself COM
fortably Just inside that hole under
the old stump and dozed. Now and
then he opened his eyes and looked
out in a lazy fashion. 1t was one OF
these times that he thought he saw
something move among the bushes
on the other side of the patch OF
clover and thought how good it was
and how fortunate he was to have
found it. This reminded him Of
Reddy Fox.
Il don't suppose I will see him
again for day or two," thought he.
Il shall miss his visists He said that
he and Mrs. Reddy we're planning a
trip over to the Green Forest. 1
wonder what it is like over there and
what they are going for. He certainly
has been good friend to me. I still
don't understand why he was so
anxious to come with me to this
patch of clover and 1 do wish he
didn't have such long, sharp teeth.
Every time I see them I feel uncom-
Portable. That reminds me that when
asked him what he eats, he didn't
tell me. l wonder why Perhaps he
didn't hear me ask 1t is queer how
put out he seemed once or twice
when he found that had been over
here alone, but suppose he was. as
he said, disappointed in not having
the pleasure Of seeing me enjoy that
| clover. I hope he'll have a good time
on that trip to the Green Forest"
Wigglenose dozed again
Meanwhile Reddy Fox was not in
the Green Forest. He had had no
intention of going to the Green For
est. He had made other plans after
parting with Wigglenose the evening
before.
That silly young Rabbit went for
! clover in the middle of the morning
and he'll probably do it again." said
he to himself But he may take a
notion to go over there very early
instead. So I won't wait until the
middle of the morning to 20 over
there. Ill be there at daylight. II
he thinks he can keep on fooling me
he will soon find out his mistake"
So the Black Shadows had hardly
begun to retreat early that morning
when Reddy arrived at the clover
patch and hid among the bushes
close to it. He watched eagerly with
the keenest anticipations. He felt
sure this time of rabbit dinner, or.
perhaps, l should say breakfast. Now
and then he cautiously lifted his
head for look around 1t was once
when he did this that Wigglenose
had seen that movement in the
bushes.
Once more Wigglenose opened his
eyes and once more he saw the leaves
move on the bushes on the other
side Of the clover patch. Not q single
Merry Little Breeze was stirring.
Who had made those leaves move
Instantly Wigglenose was very wide
awake. He had begun to suspect
that there was some one among those
bushes. If so what were they there
for? His heart began to beat q little
faster. Copyright. 1934)

Take today's hand. It's a laydown
grand slam, yet it was played at four
hearts. North is to blame, of course,
for dropping the hand, but North and
South would never reach more than q
small slam at the rate they were 60

Apricot Shortcake.

Make your favorite baking powder
biscuits, using one extra tablespoon
full of shortening to each cupful OF
flour. and bake in a layer cake pan in
a hot oven. Measure the sirup re-
manning from canned apricots, add
half as much sugar, stir until the
sugar is dissolved, and boil for five
minutes. Add as many apricots as
will float on top Of the sirup, cook
gently until glazed, put on plate
hollow side down to drain, and cook
the remaining apricots. Split the
shortcake, spread with butter, cover
with half the leftover apricots, and
with whipped cream or beaten evapo-
rated milk. If you scald and then
chill evaporated milk it will beat
well. Put on the upper half, crust
side down, spread with butter, cover
with the reserved apricots, skin side
up, and put the remaining cream in
the lines between the fruit. Serve
with hot apricot sirup.

likelihood of the birds getting all of
the fruit is slim. No jelly or pre-
serves have the outdoor twang that
the plums give to their sweets.
Many of these trees have given
place to dwellings that have been
built in the clearings. There are, of
course, many of these little trees
still carrying on.
For q hedgerow, nothing could be
better than a row of wild plums. No
animal in its sane mind would at
tempt to push its way through the
thorny branches. That is, sizeable
creature. In April. the landscape is
made lovely with the snowy blossoms,
the air filled with delightful per-
fume; in the Summer, the glossy
leaves, and in Autumn, the glowing
fruit. 1t would seem that this tree
had fulfilled her mission in life cred
itably. Yet she has even one more
quality to add to her record. Her
wood is close grained, solid and dur
able. 1t is a good healthy stock on
which to graft less hearty varieties.

because he lacked a stopper in spades
Since he held only a four card heart
suit, he couldn't rebid hearts. There
was only one other bid to make
three diamonds. North bid four dia-
monds. South, still feeling that his
hand was not good enough for a slam.
bid four hearts, which North passed.
North defended himself by saying
that he thought South held two five
card suits, no spades and the ace and
two little clubs, South said. "Ridicu-
louS!"
After North's strong bidding, South
should have said five clubs over four
diamonds But the main fault in the
bidding lies in North's mismanage-
ment of the cue bid.

fruit and raised many seed children.

discovered. Plum butter Spread on

plumming was an occasion.
The plum tree is a graceful little
native. She does not grow much
higher than IS feet. and she has very
thorny limbs. Her bark is thick and
gray.
In April, the flowers appear before
the leaves. The whole air is filled
with fragrance, and the insects are
racing madly about, pushing and
showing in the most approved bargain
hunting fashion. The honey flow,
they know, lasts but a short time.
They must gather all they can while
it lasts and the sun shines. For. as

cargo of nectar and pollen and have
rain pelting her wings. So, every day

welcome to gather as many as they
needed, and few, If any, were so
thoughtless as to take more than
their share.
The plums were just right in the
late Autumn, right after the first
frost. Then, by common consent, q
holiday was declared. Buckets, bas-
kets and wagons all went along to
hold the spicy, acid plums. The trees
glowed with the fruit. Some were
orange, others red, and they all had
thick, puckery skins. How fast the
baskets were filled! Neighbors, fam
lilies and friends all happily engaged
in gathering the fruit that would later
be turned into delectable, spicy butter,

Timely Fabric for Early Fall Street Wear
Pleated Jabot Featured in
Dress Which Welcomes
Cooler Weather.
BY BARBARA BELL.

1HE first cool days Of Fall have
way with them. They ele-
vate our interest In clothes to
Il point SO high that we want
to forget all about our faded,
and slightly seedy raiments OF Sum-
mer and step forth in perfectly styled
frocks created in the newest and
most timely fabric.
The front treatment, in the chic
frock sketched today, shows a new
Interpretation of style that has
ever been dear to the hearts OF
American women-the pleated jabot.
AS a means of simple ornamentation,
the technique here employed offers an
arrangement of angles that Is re-
garded, this season, as very smart
and very modern. The triple repeat
Of center-front points guarantees an
impression of slenderness, emphasized
by the added interest in the broaden
ing angles in the outline Of the neck
and armholes. Always we find that
figure is flattered if dress is made
generously wide at the top. This
dogma has been laid down to us by
the wise Schiaparelli. whose success
with difficult fitting problems makes
her an authority on such matters.
Most Of the new skirts, as in this
case, are plain in the front; in those
instances where fullness is allowed it
usually appears in the back or in the
side seams. This frock shows an
interesting pleated inset, placed at a
new low. to give freedom in walking.
Its outline corresponds with the gen.
eral design of the dress, forming a
graceful detail that will not go un-
appreciated by women who enjoy lati-
tude when in action.
Dull crepes, satin-back crepes, me-
tallic wool jerseys new and very
dressy), cantons and matelasse crepes
are all fabrics to be considered for
dresses of this type. Sheer woods are
smart, too, especially when they are
light and drapable with a spongy sur
face
Blacks, greens, browns and wine
reds are the important colors on the
fashion chart for Fall.
