Who Are You?
The Romance of Your Name
BY RUBY HAsKINs ELLIS.

duction into this country. The name
is thought to be derived from the
Saxon word ainulpp, which is itself
a combination of two words, ana
meaning alone, and ulpp, meaning
help. So it appears that even in the
earliest days of the Haines family
they could paddle their own canoes
so to speak, without help" from any
one.
This name is also well known in
Central Europe. In Germany, it is
spelled Hahn, and means a wood
forest, thicket or grove. In Belgium
it is spelled Haine, and there is an
important river of the name in that
country. France also spells the name
Haine, and there the word originally
signified malice, hatred.
One of the first American tmmi-
grants of this name was John Haines
or Haynes, who was born in Cop
ford Hall, County of Essex, England
in 1894. He came to New England
with the Rev. Thomas Hooker. Ir
1884, he was a freeman at Cambridge
Mass; in 1887 he removed to Hart
ford, Conn, and became the flrst
Governor of the Connecticut colony.
The names Of Haines and Haynes
have been prominent in Pennsylvania
and New Jersey for many generations
producing men and women of achieve.
ment in all walks of life.
The coat of arms above illustrated
is ascribed to the aforementioned
John.

maiden has a mind Of her own ana
with a catch me II you can" races
ahead Of them. She is a fast sprinter
and manages TO keep several feet
ahead of her pursuers. Her admirers
don't seem to use any imagination.
AS low, swift flyers. they could over
take her. That never has seemed
to occur to them. During the pursuit.
the courting swains have quarrels
among themselves and some pretty
fierce battles. The victor, Of course,
wins the lady.
AS with most shore birds. little
attention is given to elaborate nur-
series. A depression in the ground.
lined with moss and few dry leaves,
is all the mattress the infants will
ever know. There are four very
beautiful eggs, laid point to point
in the nest. All over the glossy, hard
| surface will be markings of olive,
buff and tan.
In a short time, the babies have
grown sufficiently to race along the
shores and use their sharp beaks to
toss over the stone or chip, under
which is hidden some wee creature
| of the sea.
Then the ruddystones gather their
families about them and decide to
start toward the South. Now they
have on a more somber suit. The
upper parts are blackish. bordered with
brownish-gray. The lower back is
white. Longer upper tail coverts
are also white. and the shorter ones
are black. The under parts are
white.
Along the shores of Central Cali
fornia, Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi
and North Carolina; as well as South
ern Brazil and Central Chill, you
may see these stout-bodied, short
legged beach combers, busily en-
gagged in making their living during
the Autumn and Winter.
The turnStone's diet is not con-
fined to food tossed up by the sea.
Grasshoppers, of a species that has
done much damage to the crops, are
sought eagerly by the ruddies.
Try to. see these industrious fell
lows at work this Winter. They do
not have a sharp knife to work with,
like the oyster catcher, but they are
provided with wedge" and when
ruddy turnstones are combing beach,
it looks as if the order is clear the
way" Few small boards, pebbles or
other objects are not turned over.
Whatever is hiding under it has little
chance to escape. The plumpness Of
the hunter indicates the season was
indeed good this year."

A Little Saturday Talk.

OUR jungle Adventure" came to
close yesterday, and We may
picture Allen and Roberta on their
way home, aboard the Adventure.
The steamer will have to do its best
to get them back in time for the
opening of school-it is long dis
tance from Rio de Janeiro to our part
of the world!
Last Saturday I mentioned trans
port as a problem which white men
must meet to obtain much wealth
from the jungles. Insects which
bite" as Roberta called them, form
another problem. Mosquitoes, ants
and many kinds of flies make life
miserable for explorers who 60 into
wild lands of Brazil.
Speaking Of insects reminds me OF
the series we had on Fighting Insect
about the "ladybird," a beetle which
is of great help to men because it de-
stroys the San Jose scale. A reader,
Mr.. George Grindell, tells of the
value he has found in beetles of this
kind.
This year." he writes, "there were
dozens of elm trees whose leaves be-
gan to curl early in the Summer, with
the usual aphid injury. Several weeks
ago I noticed that the trouble sud-
denly began to die out. Study brought
to light the interesting fact that the
larvae of ladybird beetles were at
work on almost every leaf-feeding
on the aphids. kept some of the
larvae in container, with food sup
piled, until they matured-and they
proved to be ladybird beetles"
I thank Mr.. Grindell for bringing
this example to our attention. Lady
birds are among the many insects
which we can call friendly" because
they help to destroy the insects which
do damage to mankind.
Another letter, on the subject Of
sunflowerS, runs in this manner:
Dear Uncle Ray:

flowers, I can truthfully attest to the
fact that they will follow the sun.

plants. In the morning their faces
are toward the east and in the eve
ming their faces are toward the west.
Any of your readers who are a little
skeptical as to this, or those who dis
pute it, I gladly invite to our place
so as to see, and believe for them
selves. They say seeing is believing.
Trusting this will be of aid in clear
ing up this dispute, am, one of your
readers,
CHARLES EI!SASSEE."
Are there different kinds of sun
flowers, some which do and some
which do not follow the sun? Is
that the reason why our readers so
far have not agreed about the ques-
ton? UNCLE RAY.

Bedtime Stories
BY THORNTON W. BURGESS.

two of the most dangerous enemies
a Rabbit has. Do you wonder that
Wigglenose was too frightened to
breathe?
And then something happened that
Wigglenose was never to forget.
Hooty shot down from that stub, his
great claws spread to strike and
clutch that slim form bounding along
the trail of Old Jed Thumper. But
quick as was Hooty, and he was
amazingly quick for so big person,
Shadow was quicker. Hooty was
striking from behind, but something
warned Shadow. So quickly that
Wigglenose could not follow him he
lodged and doubled back, and Hooty
missed. Hoosy wheeled. Shadow
had not run. He sat with his back
arched, splitting and snarling with
rage as he glared up at the big rob-
ber who had interfered with his
hunting. Again Hooty struck and
again Shadow lodged. Such quick
ness of movement Wigglenose had
never dreamed of. Dimly he began
to understand how helpless even one
so much bigger and stronger as Old
Jed Thumper would be If this terrible
little hunter caught up with him.
For a few minutes Shadow held his
ground, dodging, splitting and snarl-
ing, showing not the least fear, only
anger at being interfered with. Then,
as If by magic, he disappeared. He
had lodged under something or be-
hind something as only he or his
cousin, Billy Mink, can. In vain
Hooty the Owl flew back and forth
this way and that way, searching
among the bushes with those mar
velous eyes of his. Finally he re-
sumed his perch on the stub of q
tree and for a long time sat mo-
tionless watching and listening for
the slightest movement or faintest
rustic of q leaf to tell where Shadow
was.
BY the time Hooty at last gave up
and few away, the trail of Old Jed
Thumper was so cold that Shadow,
coming out from his hiding place,
could not follow it. After sniff or
two he didn't even try. He knew it
was waste of time and vanished in
another direction. Even then It was
long before. Wigglenose dared to draw
a long breath.
So Hooty the Owl, who would have
been only too glad to have himself
caught Old Jed Thumper, did the
latter a good turn by driving OF
Shadow the Weasel. Life is like that.
And Wigglenose added to his store
of knowledge of the dangers that
he must always be on guard against.
AS to Old Jed Thumper, he doesn't
know to this day how he escaped
from Shadow the Weasel.

my partner has a nice hand, but was
afraid to overcall because of what
happened to him the last time he came
into the bidding. Should I let the
opponents take the bid for one no
trump with my lovely hand? No!
Having no biddable suit, he doubles.
East naturally holds nothing, but he
must bid, and the responder promptly
doubles whatever he bids. If the op-
ponents fail to take advantage of the
tempting opportunity offered them,
the responder can bid two no trumpS
over the openers probable take-out
of two spades, in order to show the
strength of his hand.
Be careful about trap bidding when
you have 40 part score, however. 1t

will probably not enter the bidding
no matter what you bid.

Maltese Cross Is Patriotic
and Historical.
BY FLORENCE LA GANKE.

BY FLORENCE LA GANkE.
THE mail brought Nancy small,
old-time patchwork block. In
the letter which came with it the
donor, Mrs. L. M. Waite of Lanes
boro, Mass, said: THE block I am
sending you is called the Maltese
Cross. 1t was made so years ago by
my father, who was a Civil War vet
eran. He lost an arm in the war"
She did not say, but Nancy read be-
tween the lines, that the loss of his
arm had not meant the loss of his
courage or grit.
The block has center Of red.
Extending from it are blocks of white
that taper to a point and blocks of
blue with hase wide enough to fit
on the sides of the center red square.
AS Nancy studied the block she
wondered why she could not design
a quilt that used the idea but alter
mated the colors.
She used the red for the center
in every case, but in one block the
original blue wedges changed to white
ones and the white pointed pieces
changed to blue.
The Nancy Page Quilt Club men,
bers studied the design and pro-
nounced it good
AS Nancy designed the quilt she
thought of four of these flve-inch,
pieced blocks being combined into

one 10-inch square patch. Then this
square could be set together In an all
over pattern or the 10-inch blocks
of patchwork could not be alternated
with 10-inch blocks of plain white
or sprigged red and white print. Or
the 10-inch blocks could be set to-
gether with sashing. The possibilities
are many. ~, $500 - 'e.''.e =.
The club members clipped the pic
ture and directions from the paper
and pasted it in their Nancy scrap
book. Then they sent for the sheet
with the cutting pattern.
When they had this they studied
it and found that Nancy had based
the number of pieces required upon
the 10-inch square block which had
four of the 5-inch pieced blocks in
its makeup.
The cutting pieces make no al
lowance for seams. Nancy suggests
that each piece be cut one quarter
inch larger on all sides. Then this
amount is taken up in the scanning.
The stitching starts and ends one
quarter inch from raw edges and from
ends. This allows the, quilt maker to
press the seams open and fiat.
This pattern, with its red and white
and blue, makes a nice quilt for an
early American room.
The actual pattern for Maltese" quilt
design may be obtained by sending
cents and a self-addresSed, stamped en-
velope to Nancy Page in care of this
paper. Back patterns may be secured
by sending additional cents.

Fried Soft CLANS.

Wash some soft clans, fresh or
canned, and drain them on a soft
cloth, wiping them dry. Then dip
each clam first in beaten egg and
then in bread crumbs, and if much
breading is liked, dip them again in
the egg and crumbs. Have a sauce
pan containing hot fat about an inch
deep. If you have no thermometer,
test the fat by dropping in a bit of
the soft part of bread. 1t should color

Fried Stuffed Eggs.

This is an unusual dish and a de-
licious one. Hard-cook some eggs,
then halve them lengthwise, remove
the yolks and mash well. To six eggs
add three tablespoonfuls of fine, soft
bread crumbs, a tablespoonful of
melted butter, half a teaspoonful of
salt, little pepper and a teaspoonful
each of grated onion and chopped
parsley. Blend with a raw egg yolk,
fill the whites, pressing the stufing
in well; then put the egg halves to-
gether. Fasten them at either end
with toothpick and roll in fine sifted
bread crumbs, in beaten egg, then
again in the bread crumbs and fry in

would croquettes. Serve hot, gar
nished with sprigs Of parsley, and

Perfect Afternoon Dress for the Mauon
Soft, indefinite Lines Create
Becoming Garment With
Clever Details.
BY BARBARA BELL.

r VERE Is perfect afternoon
- dress for those matrons who
have found that soft, indefl-
A Il mite lines are more becoming
to them than close-fltting
ones. This model is a very new one
and also one that will be immensely
fiattering to women whose figures de-
part from the perfect standard OF
measurements. Ore of its cleverest
points is the side closing Of the draped
neckline. Besides giving soft effect
about the face, it provides a starting
point for the slenderizing, diagonal
treatment, for which good designers
are famous, when their problem is
that of the larger woman. The skirt
of this model has tunic treatment,
in the front only. The effect pro-
duced is that a wrap-around, the
utter simplicity of which expresses
the general tendency toward plain,
slender lines below the waist.
Black canton crepe leads all other
fabrics for afternoon dresses of the
conservative sort. Bright touches re-
lieve the dullneSs of the material.
Jeweled clips are the favorite choice
of women reputed to dress well on
very little. These can be alternated
with less ornate fastenings, and for
that reason are slated for a Fall and
Winter of great popularity. Other
fabrics which look smart and wear
well are the new heavy sheers, woven
in weight that is suitable for cooler
weather. These drape beautifully and
their mat surfaces are especially ad-
vantageous to figures no longer slim.
Afternoon frocks, If made in colors,
usually are rich and dark. The lead
ing colors are brown. green, wine and
brilliant blue-that is, blue that has
vibrant. lapiS tones.
