nearly as old as that, for we find a
saint OF this name suffering martydom

the annals of the church she lives as
sJuliana Of Nicomedia, more than Con-
queror."
Juliana lies buried at Brussels and
once was part claim her as patron.
helmina gave the unusual name to her
only daughter and heiress, breaking
with a royal tradition that ostracised
It, since it proved i'll omened for the
princesses and expresses of Rome.
Records mention Princess Julienne,
whom the first Henry of England made
the object of atrocious revenge. But
the new name proved too long, like
the older discarded one and Gillien and
Gill were substituted, the later becom-
Ing so common as to serve for wife or
hired girl.
There is an old English proverb say
Ing: "A good Jack makes a good Gill, :"
meaning that q good husband makes a
good wife, or a good master makes a
good servant, Jack being the generic
name for men, On this the we'll known
nursery rhyme is founded.
Sultana, the Breton variant, was the
name of a sister of the famous con-
stable of France, Duguesclin, whom the
English remember to their sorrow
Though a nun she proved worthy
fighter.

Straddling the gun, she made solemn

stimulated the garrison to new efforts
and the battery held out under her
command to the last day of the siege.
Augusta lived an honored patriot un-

to Anglicize the Romanesque story told

Bandello.

his dark and tragic comedy, Measure

actress, was the second great passion
of Victor Hugo's life. She helped him

She was the mocel Of the famous stat
ue of Strasburg on the Place de la Con-

The vogue of Julie pronounced julie,
with a soft I'D in France was due
to Rousseaus Nouvelle Heloise, the
