THELMA,

No list Of feminine names would be
complete without the lovely Thelma. II
is a Morse name, suggestive of the
mythology OF the land OF the Midnight
Sun, where Valkyries drive their gleam-
ing charots over the battlefield and
conduct the glorious dead to their APP
pointed places, in Nalhalla.
Little was known OF Thelma and sell
dom was the name used outside of
Scandinavia, until Marie Coreii in her
sensational novel of that name, pre-
scented the tragic love story OF beau
tiful Norwegian who was transplanted
from the land of fjords to the center of
London's smartest and most corrupt
society.
From that time the number Of Thel-
mas in England and America were le-
gion. The name has had particular
vogue in this country where the Scan
dinavian immigration is great. AS a
romantic and poetica name, Thelgla
Is without equal but her popularity
has never extended beyond Scandina
Wan and English speaking countries.
Amber Is Thelma's talismaniC stone.
II will guard her from all evil, especial
~ from contagion, To wear it on a
journey will preserve her from accident.
