Is a compound of two Greek words
signifying earth workers. husband-

There were several Pilgrims to this
country of this name, most Of whom
settled IN the New England States.
We find among this number John
George, who was an apprentice to
Gov. Winthrop in 1641 and a resident
of Charlestown. Mass. in 1857. He
later lived in Boston, Mass.
The coat Of arms here shown was
borne by Robert George of Langford
Manor, Kent County. Md, in 1890.
Descendants of Robert are found in
many of the Southern States today.
The name of George has been

OIFFURES and hats are
I always closely related but
never more SO than at the
present time. Milady has ap-
parently grown little tired
of the tiny up-tilted hat for all oc-
casions, with its invariable display OF
curls on the right side and back Of
the head. While this type Of hat is
still popular there are brimmed styles
being shown for Spring. One is the
Puritan stock. inspired by the head
gear Of the Mayt1ower pioneers. 1t
has q wide brim and rather shallow,
sloping crown, and is worn at a slight
angle. The hair on the top Of the
head is completely concealed, but the
back and sides are visible. An ar
rangement of soft curls and waves
below the severe line of the brim gives
the necessary feminine feeling. AS
in many of the new coiffures, the hair
over the crown Is unwaved and the
short hairs at the nape. of the neck
are brushed upward and sideways to
show the natural hairline behind.
The Mexican style of hat with its
straight, medium brim and shallow
crown will be worn by the girl or
woman who likes mannish styles. 1t
is tilted more rakishly to one side
than the Puritan stock, as might be
expected from its origin. The coiffure
to wear with this type of chapeau may
be straight on top with the side hair
in wide waves and rolls that are not
fluffy in effect. A low side part run
ming almost all the way back to the
nape of the neck makes a convenient
division for this coiffure. The short
hair at the back of the neck is brushed
upward.
The open-back hat is being resur-
rected again this Spring for the bene-
fit of the girl or woman who looks we'll
in quaint, old fashioned effects. There
is Smallish, dropping brim with a
bow at the back. The back OF the
shallow, rounded crown is cut and
turned up over the top, leaving an
open space above the bow on the
brim. This space is filled with curls
or puffs. The hair below the brim at
back and sides is waved in a simple
manner to contrast with the curl
cluster. 1t must be admitted that this
style of hat has manly advantages.
It is cool, well-ventilated and affords
more shade for the eyes than the
brim1ess small hats because it is worn
straight and not tilted on one side.
Brow wrinkles are less noticeable be-
meath its brim, too. 1t demands a
special coiffure, however.

that all suits are stopped or anything
like that; there may be a solid seven
or eight card suit against the hand.
1t is merely a device to keep the bid
ding open at the same level as the
last response. In order to provide
the opportunity for responder to
show or deny another ace. The
opener might even have to do this
twice. For instance, with
sp: sp; A x oJ1x1x pPii.kxo,
he bids three spades. You bid four
hearts. Now he knows the hand is
safe at five spades and wants to
know If you have either or both minor
aces. He bids four no trumps. Hav-
ing no further ace, you would now
say SO by bidding five spades, which
is the hands limit. If you have the
ace of clubs but not Of diamonds you
bid five clubs over four no trumps,
and the opening bidder now bids six
spades, knowing there is a diamond
to be lost. but no more than that.
II, however, your bid over four no
trumps is five diamonds, now he
knows the hand is safe at six spades;
but if you have also the ace of clubs
it is safe at seven. So he bids five no
trumps over five diamonds. If you
can now bid six clubs, showing that
ace also, he bids seven spades. If
you deny the ace Of clubs your only
way Of doing SO is by bidding six
spades. which he passes. This is an
extreme case, but it might come up.
The point Is that all these rebids In
terms Of no trumps are merely orders
to show or deny the other ace or
aces. 1t is necessary to reserve the
rebid of his opening suit as a means
whereby the opener signs off short OF
slam. The no-trump rebids say, I'VE
can afford to 60 round higher in
the process of getting you to bid or
deny aces: either because your first
response has already eliminated one
loser from my hand, or because the
hand had from the start one less
loser than the necessary requirements
permit
At Level of Six Is Different.
II ever the opening bidder goes six
no trumpS, however, the responder
should leave him alone, as he means
to play the hand for that declaration.
Five no trumps and less must be
taken out; six no trumps must be left
in, because opener has now decided
that he can make six no trumps as
easily and certainly as six in his
suit, and he is playing 1t In no trumps
for one or more of three reasons:
First, In tournament play, to Sc
cure the higher score per trick, with
no honors to score in the suit.
Second, because he has $50 aces
and only 100 honors or no honors in
the suit.
Third, because he has the same
certainty of IL or 13 top tricks in
either declaration, but in no trumps
he avoids the risk Of f1rst-round ruff
in an off suit. With very uneven dis
tribution-eg.. 1870 or ISL or 6-6-1
this is real risk. When you have a
void your right-hand opponent may
have one also. The leader in de-
spair is likely to lead a long suit.

All for Defense.

All Tor Defense.
IN A story book We read of a
little Negro girl named TopSy.
Some one asked her:
i when were you born?'
81 wasn't born," replied Topsy,
Il just grew"
Perhaps the World War was like
that Perhaps it "just grew" Per-
haps you and I cannot tell the true
time of its birth; but at least we
can go over the ground and think
about facts which are plainly to be
found.
We know that the fighting started
in the Summer Of 1914. not quite 20
years ago; but things which led up
to it went on long before that.
Europe, before the outbreak Of the
war. has been compared to a powder
magazine which could be exploded by
a spark. In every country there were
soldiers trained to the use of rifles
machine guns and cannon. These
men. as a rule, had no thought OF
going forth to conquer a foreign land
They believed that they had been
trained TO defend their homeland. not
to take away the homeland of other
persons.
Yet there was fear, widespread fear
In country after country traveller
could hear these words, I'VE do not
intend to attack any one. Our army
has only one purpose, and that is to
defend us; but we are afraid of such
and-such a nation, which is getting
ready to make war against u.s.
Because of this fear nations made
treaties with one another. Some Of
these treaties were secret, but others
were known to all. The purpose was
to insure help in case of war.
Two leagues grew up. On one side
was the Triple Alliance, made up OF

number of the dresses had full ruff1es
as their trimming.

for an older woman had the ruff1e

these ruffies had been made.

unless you can find flies and insects
for them. they perish. The minute

they begin sparring with each other
or rearing at anything that touches
them. They are a pale green and
almost transparent.
In the late Summer you will find
the praying mantis sitting in her
leafy bower, waiting for the gay grass
hopper to come her way. The an
clients believed she had supernatural
powers. and gave her the credit of
being very religious, because of the
way she sat and looked up to heaven.
1t has always been claimed that
the creature hypnotiZed her victims.
She has been observed in her tactics,
and they are clever. II she is facing
a large and portly grasshopper, and
he Is some distance away, she eyes
him with interest. Being the only
insect in the world that has a neck,
she can turn her head, as we'll as look
you in the eye. The graSshopper has
an uneasy feeling that something out
of the ordinary is sizing him up. The
praying mantis gives sort of shud-
der. the great tulle wings unfurl, the
clasped front feet are raised, as if in
prayer, held closely embraced In the
arms of the soothsayer.
No other insect is endowed with so
many knives. The edges of the front
legs are arranged so that the blades
OF one row fit into those of the Sec
ond row. The struggling insect be-
comes more deeply empaneled with its
efforts to free itself. At the tip of
the claw will be seen sharp stiletto-
like points that fasten in the neck of
the victim. The blood of the prey
is sucked and the empty body cast
aside. The praying mantis can in
flict painful wound with her very
sharp claws. She is not friendly. but
she is beneficial. and should have
every protection We can give her.

Tang Of New Season in Every Engaging Line
Variety and Smartness Make
Keynote, as in Other
Current Designs.
Simple Skirt Here Offered Is
Made in Six Cores and
Has Standard Length.

"HE tang of Spring and early

L sketched today. Very much in
sympathy with the mode OF

openings in the waist MatronS who
do not feel up to the verve and
vivacity it implies may leave it of
and slide into something conserva-

tirely, and wear conventional flower
over the SlaShes.
In this frock. as in all the new
clothes, variety and smartneSs are the
keynote. Width of new kind Is seen
above the waistline. 1t is expressed,
in this instance, in a bateau neckline
and broad yoke repeating its out
line
Sleeves, in frocks such as this, are
generally short above and below the
elbow. and frequently, as here. the
fullness is toward the top. This style
applies, naturally, to frockS made OF
materials that shir prettily
The new skirts, when the silhouette
shows exaggerated width above the
waistline, are usually slim, f1aring
slightly at the bottom and fitting the
hips in well nodded fashion. In this
model the skirt is a simple one made
In six cores. The length generally
adhered to for daytime dresses at the
most recent openings here and in
Paris is IL or y inches from the floor.
The most popular colors of the
season are navy blue and black, both
of which are running side by side with
little or no competition.
Aside from white, as combining
color, pink is perhaps in the lead,
with pale blue as close runner-up.
Especially is the latter seen as a
popular contrast with frocks of navy.
This pattern may also be made in
a smart daytime print, the newest OF
which show closely spaced designs
developed in multicolored fashion, yet
retaining as many SladcS Qf mt pre-
dominating color as are necessary to
class them as brown, blue, green, etc.
SO that solid colors in accessories and
contrast may be worn with modish
effect.
Barbara Bell pattern No. 1855 B is
designed in sizes 80, "a. SO, 38. 40,
40. Size "a requires Al yards of
either 35 or 80 inch material The
bow of organdy requires Il yard of
35-inch material.

Praying Mantis.

Family Mantidae,

THE famous soothsayer is in
need of friends to help her
live down her unfair reputa-
L ton as a rare horse belonging
to the devil. She is, in fact, a
great friend of ours, and aids us ma
terially in keeping down the hordes
Of insect pests. Being rather portly
in figure and formidable in looks, she
has been given a wide berth and,
when possible, annihilation.
At this time of the year, the eX-
quisite bronze cases of the praying
mantis may be seen, and should be
let alone, if they are on such objects
as need not be disturbed. The pray
ing mantis mother uses almost any
firm foundation she can find, in the
late Autumn, on which to anchor her
wonderfully-made egg casket.
Often you will come across these
dark brown cases. glistening as If
they had a coat of varnish. They
are about the size of a quarter and
the shape of a nut. Most of the
time you can see them fastened to
the stem Of grass. golden rod, or the
bark of tree. You may find them
sticking to the side of an old shoe
left in the field and many have been
found on boards and old gunny sacks.
These egg containers are made by
the mother with the tip Of her body,
which has the original egg-beater
idea. She turns her back on the OBJ
Ject on which she intends fastening
this nursery. A bubble appears at
the tip of her abdomen, and if you
observed it under lens. you would
see the whirring motion started. The
bubble grows as more bubbles are
added.
At first, the frothy mixture looks
like cake icing. When enough froth
has been whipped into the right form,
the mother lays a row of eggs in it..
After the eggs are laid, more whip
ping of fluid takes place. There will
be many tiers Of eggs. and every one
will be facing an exit. This is the
way the family is to be carried
through the Winter.
These eggs are not harmed by
heavy SHOWS or rains, and remain in
this sealed Container until the follow
ing Summer. Nothing could be more
entertaining than to see the hundreds

line. This gives ID" Cut along the

down depends on the depth of rufile
desired. Open the folded piece and
you have a figure like e" Cut as
shown on dotted line in ''E." The re-
suit is the ruffie. BY repeating this
method with as many squares as de-
sired the needed length of rufae may
be obtained. A rolled edge or a pi-
coted one is best finish for this ruffle.

adversary might be void of that suit.
For a small slam, also, no trumps may
be safest under similar conditions
This is very rare contingency, but

point is that responder must not take
it on himself to bid seven spades over
six no trumps. If there is seven in
the hand, opener must know it, and
would bid seven himself. BY this time
the responder can hardly have any
further information to contribute. The
opener may even lack the ace of

AS it turned out, Italy refused to help
Germany and Austria Hungary and
fought against them after war start

supposed to be in union with them.
The other league, known as the

Russia and Great Britain.
