Many feminine names in Greece
were merely mems names with a
feminine termination in "a or 'e' ir-
respective Of their meaning, and
this is true Of Sora. which, quantity
enough. signifies, maiden.
However she is derived. Cora Is
the most feminine Of names and was
given TO some Of the most allurinE
heroines OF romance. Originally the
name was taken from Persephone's
title. "kore," a maiden. the BOetian
poetess who won a wreath Of vic
tory at Thebes. Corinna was the
next step in the evolution Of Cora
and she came about through the ut
erary habit Of reviving old Greek
names, a fetish with enterprising
writer's in search Of a fresh title for
a heroine.
Madame de Stael named her bril-
liant Corinna after the Boetian poet
ess. aforementioned, and that es-
tablished her fame forever IN France
where she has been handed down
from one French maid to another
through generations of poetic fancy.
In Italy. she becomes Corinne
through the "Henghist," a chronicle
Of the Middle Ages. Lord Byron
makes her Cora in his famous poem
and through him her vogue is un-
questionably established in England
and America
Modern writer's favor her, both as
Corinna and Cora. She is the cap
tivating capricious heroine OF many
a modern story, the most memorable
example perhaps being the Core. Of
Booth Tarkington's book The
Flirt" Poets have never neglected
her, especially the poets Of the pas
toral age Her significance and the
youthful charm invaria bly, associa-
ted with her through her evolution,
made her almost a synonym for rur-
al maiden. just as Sylvia is a generic
term for shepherdneSs. When my

the most charming lyrics Of that age
