What S in a Name9

BELINDA.

The quaint and charming name
OF Belinda Is derived from the Ital-

piled in modern fiction to the

so beware, you men, of the baby
doll who answers to the cunning.
old-fashioned name,
How Belinda came to be evolved
Is not clear to etymoloyists. She
simply appeared in Italy, and is
believed to have had her origin in
the fashionable craze for names
ending In "a" which swept Europe
In Queen Anne's Augustan age. The
nrst Belinda recorded in history
was the wife of Orlando, a debut
sufhciently prominent to spread the
name far and wide. But greater
vogue was to be hers, and when
rope chose Belinda for his heroine
OF The Rape of the Lock" her
permanence was assured.
In those days it needed only n
Famous author to immortalize a
feminine name by putting her in
a book and all the fashionable
maids OF the country adopted her
tor their own, just as today screen
taVorites' coiffures and costumes
are copied by adoring flappers.
Belinda flourished in England and
ltaiy, but her popularity was negli-
siple in France, and Germany re-
FUSED her completely. Spain took
her from Italy, but, despite the
vowel ending. she was a bit too
marsh for Spanish ears. America
welcomed her whole-heartedly, and
she fourishes here today, both ac-
tually and in fiction.

A WARNING FROM GWEN.

The Alison Osborne who went up
the steps of the Parker residence
betrayed no sign Of the nervous
ness which had almost kept her
from attiring herself for the street.
Gwen had refused to explain that
one cryptic sentence:
Come over as quickly as you can
the most awful thing has hap
pened."
Alison had dashed through her
bath. and with her mothers assist
ance had scrambled into a street
costume. She felt as one feels in
dream when one is endeavoring
desperately to get dressed and, no
matter how one hurries and strug-
giles and perspires, some invisible
presence holds one back.
Gwen herself opened the door for
her.
Come into the library" she said
quickly. Mother has guests in the
drawing-room. We won't be dis
turbed."
Where is Miss Evans?" asked
! Alison apprehensively.
Ovens mouth set firmly.

her gaze sobering.

Alison sat bolt upright.
