A Corner in Ancestors By ELEANOR LEXINGTON Gardiner Family (Copyright by McCiure Syndicate) Gardiner, Gardner, Gardener and Gardyner, are the only variations of this name, which is derived from the Saxon words "gar," a weapon, and "dyn," a sound, an alarm. Gardyn, then, means a martial sound, or clashing of arms; or Gardyner, one who lead a martial life. The Gardiners have been prominent In affairs all along the ages, and since those days called poetically "the twilight of fable," they have helped make history. Stephen Gardiner, born 1483, at Bury St. Edmunds, was lord chancellor of England and bishop of Wln- ihester.

"Waverley," Scott's work, describes the death of Col. James Gardiner, a Scottish soldier, born In Linlithgow, whose life was written by Doddridge. Very profligate In youth, his whole life changed, and he beoame very devout after what he regarded as a supernatural vision vouchsafed to him. In the colonial records the name appears as Gardener and Gardner, quite "lord," so the story goes, that this America of our has ever been able to boast An island in Long Island sound --nine miles long by one and a half miles wide--was purchased by Gardiner from the Indians for "one g- a few Dutch blankets, and one black dog," a year or so after rdiner landed in Boston, 1635. The purchase of the land was confirmed by the as frequently as Gardiner.

The Mayflower pilgrim was Richard Gardiner. Thomas Gardiner came over In 1624, to "oversee the planting of the colony," and for this reason he has been called the first governor of Massachusetts. He had extensive grants of land In Salem and Danvers. He married, in England. Margaret Frier.

One of the most picturesque figures of colonial times was Sir Christopher Gardiner, living in Boston, before there was any Boston, and accompanied by a lovely woman, his wKe. He wore a large cavalier hat and heavy cloak, and was never without his long Spanish rapier. A melodramatic personage he has often figured in the pages of remance. No more romantic story Is found in our national annals than that of Lion, agents of Lord Sterling, and by the terms the island was constituted a separate plantation, in no wise depending upon New England or New York, and its owner was empowered to make all laws necessary to church and state. A few years later the governor of New York consented to the erecting of the island Into a lordship and manor, to be called Gardiner's Island, and Lion Gardiner was practically king, living in a handsome manor house, with wife and two children, and a retinue of servants.

The principal part of Smithtown, was given to Lion, as a reward for rescuing a bride--the daughter of an Indian sachem--on the night of her nuptials. She was carried off by a hostile tribe of Indians, but rescued by Gardiner. Gardiner island, like an almost royal domain, had its hundred or more retainers; rarely less than 60 horses were stabled there; 300 cattle grazed in its sunny pastures, and five times as many sheep. The island is still in possession of descendants of Lion, who left it to his son David. Without mention of Capt.

Kldd this story is Incomplete. When the pirate anchored in Gardiner's bay he helped himself to whatever he wanted, and added insult to injury by tying Mr. Gardiner to a mulberry tree. Upon taking leave of the island he showed where he had buried a box of treasure and said that if he never returned it belonged to the family. To the lady of the manor he gave a present ol cloth of gold, a bit of which is still a family relic.

In the buried box were "six diamonds, rubles small and great, 67 green stones, 69 other precious stones, silver bars without number, and one gold bar, a coral necklace, and 85 bales of silk, somewhat 'damnified' by water." 1 Characteristics of the Gardiners are wit, eloquence and learning. Of one it was satd he was a friend of learning In ever? form. The home of the bishop ol Winchester was spoken of as "th-J seat of eloquence, and the special abode of the muses."

First Lieut Edward Y. Miller, Twenty-ninth infantry, who is on detached duty as governor of Palawan, Philippine islands, is the man.

erased ia chief, and a cross formee in Knight Family The name "Sheavallier" is hardly recognizable as one and the same thing as Knight, yet in colonial records, a John Knight was called indifferently Chevalier, or Sheavallier. We are bound to confess, however, that the last was phonetic spelling and stand muster among the "400" of that early day. Cnight is the Anglo-Saxon word from which Knight is derived, meaning a youth, also a soldier. By the twelfth century, it came to mean the military tenant of a noble person, or it had the meaning expressed by the French word chevalier. According to rules of precedence, a knight ranks ninth in the list of high and mighty personages: emperor, king, prince, duke, marquis, earl, baron, lord, knight.

Chevalier, squire, gentleman, yeoman. Variations of the name Knight, are le Knit, le Kayt, Kniht and Knigt One Knight, in the wild, mad days, as they may be called, of nomenclature, bore the Christian name The-Peace-of-God. "The Peace-of-God Knight of Burwash" is the record. One seat of the family Downton Castle, Hereford, and the Knights residing there were possessed of large fortunes. The family also flourished in Somerset and Northampton.

The ambassador sent by Henry VIII, to the Emperor Maximilian, was Bishop William Knight. Charles Knight, 179M873 of Surrey, editor and author, when a boy, "imbibed such tincture of learning as made him desirous of being a scholar." We find the Knights pioneers of Ipswich, Mass Norwich, Conn. William Knight, preacher, had a grant of 200 acres, about 163S. at Ipswich, and tion fram Massachusetts were Lieuts Artemvis and Joseph; from Connecticut, Surgeon's mate Jonathan; from Virginia, Surgeon John; from Pennsyl vania, Paymaster John. Another "boy of '7fi' was William of New Salem, Mass born 1760.

Thf Knights have always been a powei" in Rhode Island, and Nehemiah, senatnr and governor, was the first to advocate free schools for the state. Cornflower yellow is one of the newest shades for evening gowns. There is a craze for brown and many new shades have been shown. Many of the new turbans are trimmed with huge bows of changeable ribbon at the back. Parasols nre seen with long, fantastic handles of carved wood, such as elephant and bulldog heads.

Bordered materials, which are the "borders" of the having renewed success owing to the tunic line and the plaited short skirt. Pattern dresses all show a certain decorated portion ready for use as a tunic, or else a sufficient length print or embroidery in depth suited to a skirt Painting with stencilboard and dyes has been resorted to on sheer voiles to bring about the bordure effect, while the applique cut from cretonne or chintz is frequently applied to the garment proper and draped with chiffon to soften the possible crudeness of the hasty work. The bordure is to be got by various methods. One device is the applique- ing of motifs of cluny upon handkerchief linen and the enhancing of this knee-deep work by powdered patterns of hand embroidery in coarse Japanese work.

This form of fiat embroidery, too, has been, employed alone to give a bordure effect to the tunic and the fichu, which often match.

Mark Knight was an early settler at Falmouth, Me. His son, Jonathan, in the American revolution, and his grandson, Johnson Knight, of Wlndham, was one of the founders of the Pennsylvania branch of the Knight family.

George came from Suffolk, with wife and children, 1638, and was one of the of Hinghain, Mass. Three years earlier, came John and his brother, Richard, from Hants. The Portsmouth, N. tax list dated 1681, gives the name "John Chevalier and man." He was a Huguenot refugee, and after living here for a short time Angelicised his name which appears sometimes "Jno. Chevalier, alias Knight." and sometimes "Jno.

Societies for the prevention of cruelty have been formed, but what organization is there to prevent cruelty to society? This is an elegant style, and would make up to perfection in amethyst fine face cloth. The skirt is very pretty; it has a tunic or over-skirt cut with a point atxthe back, and the right side of front crossed over to the left; the underskirt is then cut in a train, and edged at the foot by silk embroidered insertion, which also edges the overskirt and trims the waistband, that gives a slightly high- waisted effect in front Rucked chiffon is used for the under-sleeves and yoke, the material is set plainly to yoke, and bretelles are taken over the shoulders and trimmed with insertion, the over-sleeves are trimmed to match. Tucks to Curve Sleeve. Made on rather straight lines, the best blouse sleeves of sheer linen show from five to seven tiny tucks crossing the front seam of the sleeve just where the sleeve naturally wrinkles with the turn of the arm.

You see, these will give the desired --the necessary--curve, and you may select the exact position for your own exclusive plaits by trying on the blouse with the sleeve in place and secured at the armhole, and by observing the wrinkles at the turn of the arm. FOR THE SUMMER CURTAIN Window May Be Dainty, Though of the Simplest Styles and Materials. Dainty curtains for a bedroom In the summer home may be made from dotted swiss in coin size, widely scattered. Make the curtains to the sash with a five-inch hem Sown the fronts and across bottom, or the hem should be wide enough for three lines of dots. TJslng each dot for a basis, work in it a daisy design in colored mercerized cotton.

Make the petals with loops of the threads as in lazy daisy stitch, bringing them all to center of dot and spreading on circumference where they are caught with a tiny stitch. These daisies may be all in one color; in two tones of a given shade, or even two contrasting The coloring should be alternated. For instance, where there are three rows of dots In the hem the two outer ones can be worked In a pale yellow, and the center in orange; or every other The New Underwear. Underwear of cotton crepe is a new fad that will probably become popular, especially as summer advances. It is not the crinkly kind that one associates with the name of cotton crepe, but a softer fabric.

A garment may be washed, hung to dry, and after being well shaken is ready to wear again. dot should be light and the following dark.

Chatelaine rings are quite similar in their fittings, the various articles being attached to a silver riog instead of a bracelet sary but not strictly military in character, Maj. Gen. Bell said: "Lieutenant Miller while a volunteer officer commanded some troops In the island of Palawan, which is very isolated in the Philippine islands, far away from the balance and backward in civilization. While in command of troops there as a volunteer officer he acquired such an influence with the people and gained their confidence to such an extent that they simply left him there as governor. He is practically alone and he controls the people simply through the force of his personality and through their personal regard for him.

"He was subsequently appointed an officer in the regular army. He has never joined his regiment; he has never seen it "I have heard it insisted that he could not be replaced, certainly not by a company, probably not by Lalion and possibly not by a regiment of troops." Maj. Gen. Bell is wrong in one respect that is when he says that Lieutenant Miller is alone in the island. He has a very efficient coworker and helper in the person of his wife, a little Illinois girl.

He married her before he undertook his present work, which has extended over ten years, and much of his success he owes to her. She has entered into the work with the same interest and enthusiasm as her husband and if the natives of Palawan have greater love and admiration for anyone on earth than for Lieutenant Miller it if for Mrs. Miller. The Moros and natives of Mindanao and Jolo had in previous wars found the Palawans easy prey and thought it about time to replenish their coffers at the Palawans' expense. Lieutenant Miller learned of this as a matter of course.

The invaders were coming to visit, levy tribute, collect it and depart The Palawans were willing to let matters take their course. "Suppose we don't pay," he said; "what then?" He was Informed of the probable consequences and forthwith replied: "We don't pay." It was then that Lieut Miller thought of his little company of Philippine scouts. He drew them together, a mere handful in comparison to the invaders, told the Palawans to trust in him and started out The invading horde was routed and driven pell mell in all directions.
