Racial Origin—English. Source—A locality. Here is another group of family names belonging to the locality classi­ fication. One and all of these names apparently sprang up simultaneously and quite naturally in nearly all parts of England, at least in all parts' where oak trees grew. Consequently the pos­ session of this name is no guarantee of relationship, even a remote one, with other persons bearing 1 name or ones similar to it. The original forms of the course, were nearly always by words that show it was merely a descriptive phrase, old records we find the Norman pre­ fixes “del” and “de,” meaning “of,” political severance with ' used with it, and also tho Anglo-Saxon GOODWIN Variation—Godwin. Racial Origin—Anglo-Saxon. Source—A given name. There is no particular distinction in being able to trace one’s family name ; back to a Norman-French origin in old j England. Probably a majority of Eng- , lish family names are derived from Norman sources, which is strange at ' first thought, considering that at no ' time was the bulk of the population in England Norman. The paradox is explained by the fact that the Normans', being for sev- [ eral centuries' the rulers of the land, ! dominated it in the matter of language and names, though numerically weak- j er than the Anglo-Saxon element, un­ til finally they were absorbed, and fol-; lowing the their old land, Normandy, drifted will­ ingly into the “melting pot.” Thus, during this period of domin­ ance of the French tongue, say through the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, the historical records show a very small minority of the old Anglo- Saxon given names. Anglo-Saxon names', indeed, disappeared for a time more completely even than Anglo- Saxon speech. But here and there they were to be found. Among these rare instances are several Godwins, spelled variously . “Godewin,” “Godwyne” and “Godun.” They became familiar names, as did other given names, by the addition of the termination “son” or the prefixing of the Norman “fitz” with the same meaning, and in the course of time these again have been dropped. The form Goodwin is explained by the fact that the “o” in Godwin origin­ ally was pronounced long, as in “hole,” and that the spelling “oo” also at one time had the same pronunciation.

The Prince Consort took his daughter, Juliana, long climbs in the mountains while the Queen devoted a ! good deal of her time to water-color painting of the lake scenery.

A Personal Instrument. The general popularity of the piano, that instrument which has long been a classic unit of the furniture of the home, is not the result of some arbi­ trary choice of the householder. Ac­ cording to a famous pianist the satis­ faction which the listener finds in this instrument is the result of the com- I plex tonal effects which it is capable of producing, and also of its peculiar adaptability for conveying fully and directly the message of the performer. What a remarkably personal instru­ ment the piano is. It is capable of im­ pressing upon auditors with unique thoroughness the personality of the artist or the character of a work. If music has any value that fact may be determined by playing it over on the piano. We frequently hear composers say that their compositions for orches­ tra show to advantage only when pre­ sented by an orchestra, and that they should never be judged when played upon the piano. This, it seems, is only an excuse for hiding utterly -worthless stuff under a maze of orchestral color­ ing. If a composition has- real musical attributes these may be easily discern­ ed when played upon the piano. In fact the piano is- such a peculiar per­ sonal instrument that it is possible for the works of certain composers to be properly set forth only creator.
