GRACE.

The origin of the name of Grace
is curious and somewhat imagina-
tive. Several versions of its real
derivation may be eliminated and
the contention that it really comes
from the Latin gratia, meaning ia
vor, or bounty, accepted. 1t is
through this Interpretation that the
Greek charities have come down to
us as the Three Graces. Gratia was
used by early Italian writers for
divine favor. hence the theological
meaning of grace.
The English name Grace is in
tended as the abstract theological
term and was adopted at the time
of the Reformation. Its Continua-
tion is thought to be due to its
popularity with the Irish, who think
that it resembles their Graine
Qove). Grace and Oracle are both
very popular in England and Ire
land. Spain. likewise. has Engracia,
in honor Of a maiden cruelty tor
tured to death at Zaragoya, in 3o4,
and Italy knows Graycella through
Lamartines pretty romances.
The most celebrated Grace was
Grace O'Malley, also known as
Graine OMalley. a notable sailor
chieftainess of the Southwest coast.
Once she came to visit Queen
Elizabeth. and when the two
met the high barbarian was more
than match for the civilized
queen. She scorned Elizabeth's
gift of a lap dog and offered
the queen her own infant son. born
on the voyage, saying that the
queen was welcome to educate him,
as he would never make a man
of spirit since his father came of
bad stock.
Gracia is another charming form
of the same name which is attrib-
uted to Spain.
The amethyst is Grace's talismanic
stone. 1t promises her immunity
from harm and disease, especially
il it be set in gold. To one of high
strung nature, it has power to soothe
and calm and enforce even temper.
Saturday is her lucky day and 4 her
lucky number. The primrose is her
flower.

IS THIS YOUR TYPEp
Are Your Cheekbones Prominent?
BY MARIE La ROGUE
right 1920. by The Mcclure Newspaps

You will find, IL you take the
trouble to study the faces OF the
people you know. that not all prom
inent chsekbones are prominent In
the same way. In general they fall
into two classes. chekbones that
arc high and those that are broad
but not excessively high. IN the
Indian face the oheekbones are
strikingly high. and this modifies
the look and expression OF the eye,
tending usually to make 1t appear
deep set They say that to the
Indian brave, height Of cheekbone
is a Characteristic that he espe-
cially admires in the opposite sex.
and among the Chinese whose
prominent cheekbones are broad
rather than high, this breadth of
cheek il considered a mark of
beauty. Whereas among the white
races with whom the perfect oval
is still regarded as the ideal con-
tour for the perfectly beautiful
face the feeling Is that the cheek
bones should be neither very high
nor very broad.
Broad cheekbones are one of
the things that are said to indicate
a powerful vocal organ and when
a singer shows this feature then
the chances are that she will have
much volume to her voice. CALI
Curci, whose face is really fasci-
mating in spite of the fact that in
many ways 1t departs from our
ideals of perfect beauty. has these
decidedly broad cheekbones. No
tice and see among the singers
you know how often 1t happens
that those with a strong voice and
those with a certain mellow quail
ity of voice are those who have
broad cheekbones.
Height of cheekbone is said to In
dicate endurance and daring-not
the daredevil sort of daring, but
the heroic sort of daring that gives
a man the power to discover new
continents, to brave the sea and the
elements. A goodly number of sea
captains have well-developed cheek
bones, they say. Columbus and Far
ragut were marked by this feature.
and surely you couldn't find two
better seamen in the pages of his
tory. With North American In
dians, among whom high physical
courage was as frequently found as
in any race the world has ever
known, this is a racial character
istic.

To be pretty. It must be found in
face that is otherwise rather small
and daintily shaped. The chin must
not be too broad or else the effect
given is one of heaviness Of face.
Portrait painters tell us that women
whose cheekbones are moderately
high retain their appearance or
youth longer than those whose
cheek framework is narrow and
low.
Madame Recamier was one of the
charming French women who had
high cheekbones in a very pretty
face. She is described as possessing
"a finely nodded face. with high
cheekbones; smooth high brow, and
delicate, yet firm, chin; fine brown
eyes that look out on the world
with the smile of the habitual
dreamer"
1t is said that full upper checks
indicate friendship and good nature.
so If your high cheekbones are not
too lean you may add unto your list
of virtues that of friendship.
