T HE correct English version Of this
popular name is Susannah. but
= the spelling in Scripture was:
Schuschannah. This Hebrew word
means lilly and the white lily is her
emblem. Purity her sentiment.
ST. Jerome wrote learned disserta-
ton to show that the story of Susan
nah and the elders is apocryphal-that
is. not genuine, nevertheless it has been
pictured and sung about like few others
and will probably retain its hold on
the Imagination of artists for long
time to come.
A Susannah was one of the holywo-
men at the sepulchre and the Catholic
church has two saints named Susannah,
girl martyrs.
=, Queen SGsannah was known in her
time as the Lily of Tiflis." She is
and toshave been martyred by the
Moslems.
ST. Susan is the patron saint. who
saves from infamy and reproach."
English alternatives: Susan, Survey
and Sue.
The French have: Suzanne. suzette
and Suzen.
SOFA is rather attractive Swiss
form of the name. In south Germany.
Sanri and Sandri are popular among
the peasant girls.
Suse (sound every letter. is used
most often in Germany. Same and
Susette are affected by some. but Sus-
chen pronounced Soozjen) is the reign
ing diminutive.
Susi, with the accent on the last let.
ter, is heard in the Swiss Alps.
Queen Wilhelmina owns Rembrandt's
famous painting OF "Susannah and the
Elders"
Another Rembrandt representing the
same subject, hangs in the Old Berlin
Rubens immortalized the subject on
