Who Are You?
Romance Of Your Name
BY RUBY HASKINs ELLIS.

eighteenth century, about 1920, and
was followed later by his several sons,
who settled in Virginia. Alexander
died in Palmer. Mass, in 1746.
Alexander MacNutt Cor McNutt),
%, who was also born In Ireland,
came to America and first settled in
Hagerstown, Md. Later he moved to
Augusta County, Va, where he lived
on land known as the MacNutt grants,
near Lexington. He died there, leav-
ing several children.
Perhaps the most notable of the
earliest members Of this family in
America was Col Alexander MacNutt,
daring soldier who enlisted In many
expeditions Of exploration and coloni-
zation. Always a volunteer, without
pay, he embarked upon vast and am
bilious enterprises He attempted to
recolonize Nova Scotia, which had
been cepopulated by the expulsion Of
the French Canadians, and visited
England a number of times in the
interest Of this undertaking. His
majesty conferred upon him the hon.
orary title Of colonel and presented
him with sword in recognition Of
his service. This sword is now high
ly priced heirloom Of the family.
Alexander MacNutt cast his lot with
the patriots during the American
Revolution, and through failure to
fulfill his contracts lost large grants
Of land in Nova Scotia amounting to
several thousand acres.
William MacNutt, grandson Of the
Alexander, was born In 1893. He ac-
companied his grandfather to Nova
Scotia and became the progenitor Of
that branch Of the family. He lived
and died in Onslow County.

pOnent bids over the double, your
partner is now relieved from the obli-
CATION to bid. He should pass unless
he has some really constructive in

bid over your double should. in con-
junction with his own holdings, fur
nish him with important inferences

now I would consider it likely that
my partner had hearts, but would
not have any indication as to which
type of double he had made. If had
a club suit as good as K @ Jxx or
Q 10 and not less than three
hearts in my hand, I would bid three
clubs. This indicates the bid in which
we should take a sacrifice (Which
might turn out not to be one at alD

he expected it to be in three clubs
when he doubled the spade and was
prepared to bid three clubs himself
If I had a worthless hand and no
support for clubs. Or again, If his
suit is hearts, my bid of three dia-
monds would drive him to three
hearts. a trick higher than he ex-
pected to get when he doubled. I
must, therefore, have at least three
cards in both there suits in order to
feel justified in bidding my diamonds.
If my diamonds are K @ Jxx, I
can expect these honors to take
trick or two for him, and eliminate
one or two losers from his hand. If
they were that poor six-card holding.
then my justification for bidding
would be singleton spade plus three
trumps for him in hearts or clubs.
OF course, if his double were, after
all. distributional, then he has dia-
mond support for me and can show
it by a raise. The fact that I bid
over two spades is a constructive
move and he should be able to rely on
its meaning-that I can see a move
ahead, and that at the worst the
hand will be as safe at the higher
level of bidding to which I have con-
signed us as it was at the level of
bidding which he had foreseen when
he doubled, for at that stage he was
prepared for my hand to be worthless
both in high cards and in helpful
distribution.

Faith Can Move Mountain

We have an inquiry for the origin
OF the expression, Faith can move
mountains
This is paraphrasing Of SEN
tence in the Bible, the spirit of which
it maintains. 1t is in the New Testa-
ment, in the thirteenth chapter of the
First Epistle of Paul the Apostle to
the Corinthians. that We find 1t in its
original form. The message in this
chapter is that all gifts. no matter
how excellent, are worth nothing
without charity. 1t begins:
Though l speak with the tongues
OF men and of angels and have not
charity, 1 am become as sounding
brass, or a tinkling cymbal.

"HIS Is the flrst year since 1925
with Easter on the same date
as April Fools day. The day
L Of "fooling" is regular. always
arriving on April 1, but Easter
may come as early as March % or
as late as April IS.
Last year Easter came on April 16
and next year it is to be celebrated
| on April 81.
II we keep the present calendar
and the present system Of setting the
date of Easter, the feast will come on
March "a in 1910, and on a very late
date, April rs, in 1943.
The date for Easter is supposed to
be set for "the first Sunday after the
full moon which comes on or after
March 81" but the full moon is not
figured according to the actual full
moon. There is an old church method
Of figuring full moons, and Easter
may not arrive on the first Sunday
after a full moon.
The month which now stretches
before us-April-once was called
Easter month" That was in honor
of An Anglo-Saxon goddess named
'Eoster" or Easter" Anglo-Saxons
who settled in Great Britain $500
years ago brought with them many
stories of gods and goddesses, and high
among the deities was Easter, ruler of
Spring and light.
Notice that Easter" is like the di-
rection East" The words have the
same root. As We look eastward in the
early morning we see the sun as 1t
shines once more on our part of the
earth.
April Is the first full month in which
daylight lasts longer than darkness.
That may be another reason why
Anglo-Saxons turned their thoughts
toward the sun during their Easter
month"
We call the modern feast Easter" +"
but that Is not the name used in
Spain. France and Italy. Those coun-
tries and several others have a name
for Easter which arose from the old
Jewish name for Passover" The
| Christian Easter Is different from the
Jewish Passover, but in some countries
the names are much alike.
II any one tries to fool you on
April l, you may be able to make a
quick reply. If a person says, You
have hole in your stocking" and
laughs when you forget the date and
look down, you may have the laugh
on him by saying, "Yes, there are
hundreds Of holes in my stockings" !"
That will be correct because the
threads in every stocking are so woven
as to leave many tiny holes.
The answer to the fooling may not
be so simple as that, but at least you
may keep your wits about you and
| make a ready answer If you can. In
any event, smile If you are fooled, and
do not let it trouble you. A good
friend will not fool you in way that

Made Adaptable to Many Types Of Figures
Town Frock in Stripes Proves
Reminiscent of Other Pc
riods in Fashions.
Perfect Example Of Extent to
Which Simplicity May
Be Carried.
BY BARBARA BELL.

- TRIPED frocks are our present
enthusiasm. This one, de-
signed for town wear, Is ire
~ sistibly young and aattering.
And because it Is fundamen-
tally yet expertly simple it is adapt
able to many types of figures.
The style of the dress is almost
entirely dependent upon the choice
of material; very plain as to the cut
of the bodice and skirt, the frilled
vestee by contrast is reminiscent OF
the days before the cult of modern
simplicity became an influence in the
world of fashion.
Stripes. particularly because they
look so new and appear so regularly
placed, bring a refreshing note to
dress that suffices for the more COM
plicated forms of trimming and de-
signing which other prints require.
The model sketched is perfect ex-
ample of the extent to which SIM
plicity may be indulged in if the ma
terial is one of the fashionable new
stripes OF the season.
This particular frock is made Of
striped silk crepe. The design is
equally popular in fabrics such as
cottons, linens, synthetic crepes and
a few woods of fine texture.
The lingerie frills can be removed
quickly for laundering, and alternate
ones of a harmoniZing tint may be
used for a change of color scheme.
BY the mere shifting of few match
ing accessories an entirely new effect
may be achieved without a great deal
OF effort.
Barbara Bell Pattern No 1868 is
designed in sizes 34 SO, 38, 40, 40, A.
Size "a requires 45s yards of 39-inch
material, 3s yard of 39-inch contrast.

The Old Gardener Says:

With favorable season,
lawns can be made in the
Spring, although this work is
usually recommended for Fall.
1t is important to sow the grass
seed just as early as possible.
because it must germinate and
start into growth before warm
weather comes. AS a rule, the
quietest time of day is in the
early morning. Therefore, that
time is recommended for the
sowing of the seed. OF course,
an even distribution is neces-
sary and this can be obtained
by scattering the seeds first
lengthwise and then crosswise
of the plot. Before any seed
sowing is done the ground must
be thoroughly raked over and
made level And it does not pay
to use any but the very best
seed.

Response to Negative Double.
T Asst weeks articles were de-
voted to explanation of two OF
the three types of negative
- double which I employ in con-
tract. The Strategic Double
and the "Distributional Double" are
very different in their nature and in
their later development, as we have
seen; yet when you double, that
double" sounds the same (or it
should, if you are honesty in both
cases. Consequently, your partner is
in the dark just as much as the
opponents. and that is one of the
strong points of these two aspects of
the double. Your partner knows that
it is safe for him to make his natural
response, whichever of the two kinds
Of double you may have made on this
particular occasion. The opponents,
however, do not know what their next
move should be in most instances:
are you trapping them to overbid or
to underbid? Your partners inno-
cence at this stage, and the fact that
his response is more or less auto
matte, combine to induce the inter-
vening opponent to pass on many oc-
casions where he would gain by bid
ding, and may also tempt either Of
them to pass at the wrong time In the
