Women of Today

Women always seem to have a sense
of duty to others. 1t makes them form
clubs for the protection of children, or
working girls, dumb animals or birds or
the thousands of other things of which
they appoint themselves the guardian
1t is this feeling for other people which
has been the cause of many women
leaving money and provision for strug-
Cling musicians, artists, Librarians,
teachers, nurses and the like,
1t is to be expected that when a New
York section Of the League Of American
Penwomen was organized that it should
have some such protecting aim as one
of its first concerns, Mrs, Isaac Pear
son, president of the league. went to
New York recently to organize the New
York section. She reports that this
section has many well-known writer's
among it's members and that they will
make a special point of helping the
young writing women and having an
oversight in journalism illustration and
music.
Mrs. Pearson also reported that she
recently organized a section in Buffalo
which had much the same ideas.

ISABEL

Etymologists claim that Isabel is only
another form OF Elizabeth, whose intrl-
cate hut interesting history Will bee dis
Cussed later. Accepting the theory or
the experts Isabel would seem to be
derived, then, through the Hebrew Ellis
cheba much used In the time Of Charlie
magne. II soon became Elisaba, and
was shortly abbreviated to Isabeau
through the wife Of Charles VI Of
France.
Another more romantic version claims
that Isabel, which is translated TO
mean "oath Of Baal" oriEintcd with
the daughter Of the Zidoniau king whom
We call Jezabel She Is also thought to
be equivalent to Elizabeth, though she
appeals TO the oath Of the heather BaaL
whose vDtaress she is. Her name was
given, with expressions OF hatred. by the
Spanish Jews TO Isabel the Catholic
when she permitted them to be perse-
cuted, and both Spain and Italy applied
the epilhet to Queen Elizabeth.
The wife Of Philippe Augusta Of
Franco was called Isabelle by the French
when she was brought from Hungary a
bride and the name thus became popu-
lar in the French court. Isabelle OF
Angouleuse, the hetrothed Of Hughes de
Lusiguan, who afterward married King
John, brought isabelle to England. Her
namesake daughter became the wife OF
Friedrich H. and carried Isabelle to
Germany and Sicily. Spain adopted It
as Isabel or Ysabel, and II was given
vogue there through the marriage into
Portugal Of Isabel de la Pays, great
niece Of Elizabeth Of Hungary. But Gu
riousy enough, Isabel was never greatly
liked or used In England, though the
child queen OF Richard II. was SO called,
and many daughters Of the Plantage-
nets received II in baptism. Scotland,
on the other hand, favored II. calling
IL Isobel and Ishel Isabella is form
used in England and America to some
extent.
