carried muffs, not only for vain
show, but also to keep their hands
warm.
Women in England were in the
habit of wearing canvas petticoats
made stiff and bulging with whale
bone. These turned into the famed
"hooped skirts"
The ladies also wore shoes with
high red heels, and carried walking
sticks.
Fashions in France were, in large
part, like those of England. Indeed,
France was fashion center from
which many, Il not most, of Eng
lands styles were drawn.
The custom Of women placing

THE armorial bearings here dis
played are assigned to the fam
lily of Elkin, or Elkyn, of London.
The surname Elkins is supposed to
have originated in the name ALL
kins, or Ellakins. So common were
the names ALA and Ella as early
Saxon names that foreign peoples
sometimes referred to them as ALL
kins. or Ellakins. meaning English
men. 1t is thought that the name
Elkins evolved from this.
Henry ElkinS came to Boston in
1884 from England. He was
tailor and was admitted a freeman
in 1885. He was one of the first
settlers of Exeter, N. H., and an ac-
tive man in the affairs of his com.
munity.
The name Elkins was also repre-
sented in the Virginia colony by a
number of first settlers, and this
branch will be discussed in another
sketch.

pleX. But he had nerve-nobody could
deny him that.
There was the time he let himself
down by a rope from the roof of the
Manor Hotel to the fifth floor apart
ment of the Hammond gang. The
boys in the gang thought the avenging
angel was upon them for sure when
Mitch,s No. los kicked out the win
dow and let him, his service revolver
and an icy blast from the river into
the room.
Mitchs life was a series of such
adventures.
The fact that his captain had q ro-
mantle streak was all that kept Mitch
on the force Every time he pulled
one of his wild lone wolf arrests a
tornado of protests assailed the cap
tain's ears, but that old man would
merely chuckle: Hes getting away
with it, isn't he?" and then he'd sit
back to enjoy some more of Mitch's
stage effects.
When Mitch got the letter offering
him information of value to the
force" he took it, with his suspicious,
to the captain himself.
"Frame-up," Mitch told the old
man. The girl that lives in the
apartment they mention is flame of
Shorty Parrish. They want me to come
there to put me out of the way quietly

perior. We'll, I'm going

some men with me. but they can wait
downstairs and they'll arrive Is
minutes after do"
At last the captain gave his reluc-
tant o. X. and that night they let
Mitch out of squad car several
blocks from the apartment mentioned
in the letter.
I'll stand by the button that rings
the buzzer on the downstairs door,
Mitch told the sergeant in charge
IF I need you I'll buzz an S o s.
You know the signal"
Yeah, Sherlock" the sergeant
grunted. Three shorts, three longs,
three shorts. Used to be an operator
myself"
"Okay. Be in the entrance of that
building in Is minutes" Mitch
swung off down the darkened street.
In the apartment he found his sus-
picions confirmed to the last detail
Shorty Parrish let Mitch into the
room, then held the door for dark
little hoodlum who had followed the
detective upstairs.

"NGLISHMEN Of fashion two
l. centuries ago wore wigs OF
many shapes. The wigs were
IL thickly powdered, as a rule,
making them look white or almost
white.
Sometimes a wig had long braid
which hung down the back as a
pigtail. Other wigs had two or
three braids hanging down the back.
Some dandies wore wigs with curls
8 or 10 inches long hanging over
either cheek and reaching to the
chest. Among the names of differ
ent kinds of wigs were comet. Gre
clan fly, spinach seed and ligeon's
wing.
In small towns and country places
in England the wig-wearing custom
was not popular, but men let their
hair grow long enough to wear it
in a bob.
Breeches which reached to the
knees, or almost to the knees, were
in style. Some of these had silver
buckles at the knees. Long stock
ings were worn, with low shoes or
slippers. The coats were fancy
and reached well below the waist,
sometimes as far down as the knees,

"well. you stop buttin' in after
tonight" Shorty indicated a grim
ming Negro who stood caressing a
tommy gun across the room. Mitch
fumbled for the button behind his
back.
Shorty suddenly crossed to him,
grasped his shoulder, and hurled him
across the room.
You stand in front Of the win
dow" he growled. Il don't want any
slugs messin' up my girl friends wall"
The whole gang milled toward the
door. making room for the Negro In
front of them. Mitch paied as he
measured the distance across to the
bell button. Ten feet; 1t might have
been 10000 miles.
Some one opened the door, and the
gang crowded into the hall for a get
away. Shorty and the Negro alone
stayed in the room, both chuckling
over the rare sport. At Shorty's low
signal the Negro raised the gun slow
ly, pointing it at Mitch's breast
Then an avalanche broke loose in
the hall. A voice yelled "Bulls!" and
Mitch's sight became blurred in a
vision of flying blue coats, swinging
clubs, f1aying fists. When Mitch swung
into action the Negro few six feet
and his gun looped harmlessly onto a
studio couch by the door.
The sergeant was making out his
report in the station before Mitch
regained his cockiness.
How in the devil" he asked, did
you boys know was in trouble?'
I'VE didn't" the sergeant assured
him. But one of the boys got tired
and leaned against a whole row OF
bells. Everybody in the building must
have rung their buzzers for about 10
minutes. We thought we missed your
signal"
He couldn't retain his anger. May
be you'll be actin like a human being
now, eh?"
From the expression on his face,
Mitch's head was steadily growing
smaller, but he tried to retain his
bravado. "Oh, don't know" he said
weakly.
The sergeant bent over his ledger,
pen in hand. mot that 1t would
have made any difference anyway
he went on carelessly. THE captains
