led to the legend that her beauti-
full eyes had been put out. The old
English version cuts off her head,
but the indomitable lady goes on
talking until she has received the
Holy Eucharist.
The Sicilian saints were especially
popular and Santa Lucia is not only
the patroness of Italian fishermen,
and namesake of their daughters.
but she was early adopted by the
Normans and ever in the time of
Edward the Confessor, the daugh-
ter of the Earl of Mercia had been
thus baptized.
The house of Blois were import
ers of sacred names and Lucie was
a sister of Stephen and was among
those lost on the White Ship. The
name has since fiourished in Eng
land and France: il is particularly
popular in the latter. where many
noble ladies were called Lucy.
though poetry called them by the
, more fashionable Lucinda
The English forms of the name
are Lucy. Luce and Lucinda. France
calls her Luce and Lucie. She is
Lucia to Spain and Italy. which flso
adds Lusia. Russia terms her Luzi-
ia.
Lucy's talismanic stone is the
king of gems, the diamond. Its
dazzling brilliance gives fearless
ness to its wesrer, and invulnera-
bility. To bring victory to any en-
deavor. it should be set in gold and
worn on the left hand. Saturday
is I.ucy's most fortunate day and
5 her lucky number.
Ren Jonson wrote OF Lucy. Coun-
tess of Bedford. calling her:
The kind of creature I could most
desire,
To honor. serve. and love as poets
7 meant to make her fair and free
and wise
OF greatest blood. and yet more
good than great;

brighter rise.

That Venus. goddess Of love and
beauty, had golden hair all poets and
painters seem to be agreed: but when
II comes TO the color OF her eyes. there
is not such unity Of opinion.
Some say she was a blue-eyed
blond. and others insist that she was
OF that rare and altogether lovely
type-the brown or blackeyed blond.
Greek and Roman poets praised
black eyes" says an Italian who
wrote on feminine beauty some 5Ou
years ago, ''and all are agreed that
the goddess of beauty had them. And
again, while saying that the ideal
woman must have hair like pure gold
or honey, be says, Common custom
seems to have obtained that dark tan
or nut-brown eyes hold the first place
among eyes OF all other colors.'
Another Italian, writing at about
the same period. says that eyes
should be black. like the skin Of a
ripe olive, velvety. fathomless, yet
shining. like twin cayerns OF coal.
