"Store," verb and noun, is ultimately from the shop it Latin instaurare. In the sense of " was recently current in this country only in the plural, "the Stores" being the most familiar example, but American enterprise has made it now familiar over here. The quotations given are chiefly American. The word figures, however, in Stevenson's The Beach of Falesá,' a story in the Island Nights' Entertainments': "The store was to the front, with a counter, scales, and the poorest possible display of trade " (chap. i.). Going through the Dictionary with admiration for its breadth of knowledge and perpetual interest to the student of English, we offer one or "stipendiary two extra quotations. Under Bradley Headstone is duly noted as a "stipendiary schoolmaster" in "Our Mutual Friend,' but we miss Mrs. Wilfer's solemn remark in chap. viii. of that delightful book, "We have at present no stipendiary girl," a comment which may appeal to an increasing class of citizens "stir we might to-day.

ADMIRAL SIR WILLIAM (1621-70), father of the great William Penn, married in 1643 Margaret (d. 1682), daughter of John Jasper of Rotterdam. The arms used by Margaret Jasper are apparently unrecorded in any work on the Penns. Jasper " is not found in Rietstap's Armorial General,' a repertory which contains a great number of Dutch burgher coats; nor does any armorial, manuscript or printed, which it has been po sible to consult in a fairly thorough search in London, seem to include them. from William of Minety (Gloucester), whose will was proved in 1592-charged a fesse with plates, not bezants. In the impaled (or wife's) coat, moreover, the subsidiary charges are seen to be worked in gold upon a silver field. If inaccuracy has in this case to be presumed respecting the embroidered tincturing of the supposed Penn coat, it has to be remembered also, as regards the wife's side of the arms, that infringements of the rule governing the display of tincture upon metal and vice versa are continentally, at all events, by no means the rare thing they are supposed to be in the British system. It appears tolerably certain that the combination, a chevron between in chief a star and in base a crescent, is not a British one. Papworth fails apparently to give a single instance of it, but Renesse-Rietstap supply more than one. The Penn arms being Argent, on a fesse sable three plates, the crescent embroidered in the chief of the dexter coat has to be construed as a second son's difference. William, the progenitor of the Gloucestershire Penns, was younger son of David Penn (d. 1564) and his wife Sybil, who was apparently that "sister of Sir William Sidney's wife," the Sybil Penne nominated chief nurse to Edward VI. in 1538 (' D.N.B."), and a daughter of William Hampden of Dunton and Wingrave (d. 1521 : Lipscomb's Bucks,' ii. 346). David's elder son John (d. 1596) was ancestor of the Penns of Penn (Bucks). Among evidences that may be cited for the armorials of the younger branch are: Sir William (1621-70); mural monument in St. Mary Redcliffe, Bristol: arms undifferenced. |
