IRENE.

Perhaps the most disputed name
in the lexicon of feminine proper
names, from the standpoint of pro-
nunciation, is Irene. signifying
peace. The accent of the syllables
has changed within the past couple
Of years. and the final &c" is now
sounded by the fashionable, who
have adopted the name.
The origin dates back TO heather
days when Eireen, peace. was per-
sOnifed and adored as a goddess.
In Christian times, when peace on
earth was reached. she was formed
into a name which was known as
Irene. The first Irene of much
fame was the pious widow whose
care revived st. Sebastian after his
first martyrdom. and in sos. three
sisters, Agape QOve), Irene and
Chionia underwent martyrdom at
Thessalonica, but Irene seems 10

honor. although Agape is occasion

The name Irene was very frequent
among Greek expresses and be
longed TO the lady who would fain
have added herself to the list of
Charlemagnes many wives. Ii is
from her that the Russians have il
as Eereena, and in the ancient
Greek colony at Sorrento. where the
woman's features strongly recall
their Hellenic descent. Irene is one
OF the most popular baptismal
names.
Irene's jewel is the iacinth. which
is commended especially 20 travellers
since IL insures its wearer from
harm and is said 10 pale in color
If danger approaches. II is a pc
culiar fact but one none the less
vouched for by historical record.
that no one wearing a iacinth has
ever been known to have been
struck by lightning. To dream of
the gem signifies success Saturday
is lrene's lucky day and five her
lucky number.
James Russell Lowell has written
of Irene:
Hers is a spirit deep and crystal
clear.
Calmly beneath her earnest face it
lies.
Free without boldness, meek with
out a fear.
/ Quicker 90 look than speak its sym
pathies.
Far down into her large and patient
ewes
