What S in a Namea
MILBICENT.
BY Mildred Marshall.


The affected young miss who
changes her name from Mildred to
Millicent in the fond belief that the
two are interchangeable is. really
rechristcning herself. The two
names are utterly dissimiIar.
Aillicent which is translated to
mean work, strength. comes from
that remarkable word ANAL"
meaning work, which appears in
some similar form in all languages.
We have our word "moil" from IT.
Many feminine names have. been
evolved from anal, the first prob
ably being Amalaswinth. the un-
fortunate queen of Lombardy, whom
the Romans could not protect from
tho treachery OF her fayorites. His
torians call her Amalasontha, but In
Burgundy she became Melisenda,
Meiicerte and Melusine.
Spanish ballad lore reveals
Meiisenda as the wife OF Don Gay
feros. who, was taken captive by the
Moors, and We hear OF. her through
Don Quixote. Melusinc was the
nymph, wife of Lord De Leezignan,
who, according to old legend, retir-
ed from public view every Saturday
and turned into serpent.
Princess Melisende carried the
crown of Jerusalem to the House
of Anjoy, and through the provence,
connection of the English court,
Lady Melisent Stafford. VINO IryeG
during the reign of Henry II, es-
tablished the name in England. II
soon came TO be spelt Melicent, and
finally MiIlicent, prevailing as such
today.
The simplest of all gems, the tur-
quoise, is Mellicent's tailsmanic
stone. 1t is said to protect its
wearer from all dangers, whether
she walks or rides-or flies, the
present-day legend must add. II is
an augury of good fortune If she
sees the new moon reflected in the
stone. Saturday is her lucky day
and her lucky number and holly 10
her flower.
