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

times the form of "moat." A moat
was deep. wide trench around a
castle, usually filled with water. This
was used as barrier to enemies who
might attempt to storm the castle.
The name of Mott is frequently
found in the Hundred Rolls of Eng
land, and the family held as heredi-
tary possessions tracts of land in
Shalford and Essex.
Adam Mott was the founder of the
family in New Amsterdam, arriving
in 1645. In the following year he
received a grant of land in Green
point, Long Island. Ten years later
found him a resident in Hampstead,
Long Island. There is today a long
line Of Mott descendants in that
section of the country.
Adam Mott represented the name
in New England as early as 1896,
when he was admitted a freeman in
Roxbury, Mass. Nathaniel Mott bore
arms at Scituate, Mass, in 1643. He
removed to Braintree in 1856.

Benefits From Exercise
BY LOIS LEEDS.

HERE are two types Of exercise
the outdoor sports taken for
recreation, change and rest
Il from the usual business routine
and the daily exercises de-
signed to strengthen, build or reduce
weight and to keep ones body in the
best of condition. There is a wide
variety of outdoor exercise to choose
from, especially in Summertime.
Among the most popular of these
are walking, swimming. tennis, horse
back riding, golf, fishing, gardening,
boating, sailing, handball and bad
minton.
Regular daily calisthenics can be
planned to bring all the large muscles
into play. This, together with the
outdoor exercises, will keep the body
supple and youthful. Such a pro-
gram will stimulate mental alertness
as well as enhancing ones physical
attractiveness.
The happiest and most beneficial
Summertime holidays for business
people are those that provide plenty
of interesting things to see, learn
and do. Thus, outdoor games and
sports should be valued not only for
providing a respite from the every
day tasks, but for the opportunity
they give for adding to ones store
of interesting experiences by making
new contacts.
A person whose body is kept in good
condition by regular physical exercise
both indoors and out of doors and
whose mind is happy and alert is not
troubled with the fear of the big. bad
wolf and other negative emotions
1t is usually the person who stays in
doors most of the, time at some
sedentary work who becomes peSsimis-
tic and looks upon these depressing
times with fear.
Psychoanalysts have traced all sorts
Of personal ills, failure and mental
disturbances to suppressions in the
emotional life of the sufferer. In a
similar way the physical culturist
knows how neglect and postponement
of a system of regular physical ac-
tivity and Outdoor interest can de-
stroy and stunt ones personality and
injure health and beauty.

"Bandy-Legged."

"WHY," inquiries a reader. "do we
refer to a person whose legs
are bent or crooked as ndy-legged?"
The answer to this question re-
veals the typical process by which a
common phrase comes into being.
"Bandy," in this connection, is de-
rived from the French "bander,"
meaning Ito bind, to bend "a bowD."
From the source we have so-called
game 'bandy" which is played with a
ball and a bent stick like that used
in our game of hockey.
It is this element of being bent,
present in the original root-word and
carried over into its English use
which is responsible for the signifi-
canoe Of the expression DANDY

A Dress for the Junior Miss
Here Is a Smart Model That
Looks as if 1t Had a Col
lege Education.
BY BARBARA BELL.

URING the season just van
ishing the tailored shirt
waist frock wedged its smart
little way into the wardrobes
of nearly every style con-
scious woman. Having made good
in the gallant way of the classics, the
vogue for it is an established one for
the incoming season.
The little model shown in the illus
tration already looks as though 1t
had the advantage of a college edu-
cation. Pockets are very, very good
this year, so four of them-cut like
iamonds-brighten up the outlook of
this dress The collar re-echoes the ar
rangement Aside from these details,
all the hard-learned lessons about
simplicity being the backbone of this
years mode have been subscribed to.
1t is with dresses of this type that
you are to wear interesting scarf ac-
cessories. One that is both smart and
new is a large silk handkerchief (col-
orful, of course) rolled and worn like
a lei we'll away from the neck. Smaller
triangles may be arranged to tie be-
meath the collar at the back, with
only the cowled front in evidence.
Belts usually are of suede or patent
leather, with fanciful abstract de-
signs decorating them at the closing.
Buttons are terribly interesting this
year. They come in the form of
nuts, dogs heads, horses and large
discs. The most popular colors for
these novelties are black and mahog-
any. Metallic buttons are in more
conventional shapes, as yet not en-
tering the animal kingdom in pursuit
of ideas for expression.
AS to materials-besides the usual
classic woods there are novel Fall
cottons and velveteens that are
checked and plaided in all the au-
thentic Scotch designs. These are
used for dresses of this type with
surprisingly smart results. In colors,
green, brown, henna, red, bright blue
and black are important.
Barbara Bell pattern No. 1438-B is
designed in sizes IL to 20. Size l6
requires AZ yards of 36-inch material.

response over an opening minor suit
bid. If South had bid one spade-his
spade suit being as good or as bad as
the heart suit-the bidding would be
automatically forced to the two level
BY giving one-over-one in hearts,
South now encourages North to bid
one spade, providing North has a
spade suit The heart response allows
for both secondary heart bid and a
secondary spade bid in North's hand,
whereas the spade bid takes no ac-
count of what to do if North bids two
hearts. The bidding can hardly be
dropped at this stage. yet a three
