IRISH CoLORING.

You may be as Irish as the sham
rock-you may have the map OF
Erin written on your face-and still
not have that combination of dark
hair and blue eyes that is charac-
teristic of what is known as the
Irish type. You might, in fact,
prove that in certain sections OF
England there were as many dark
haired women who looked out at
the world through deep blue eyes
rs ever you could find in Ireland,
but there are at least enough beau
tiful women in Ireland of this type
to have established the tradition
that this combination is character
istic of the snakeless island.
The traditional pure Irish type
has black or very dark brown hair.
blue, blue eyes and a fair skin
white skin with high color Add to
this dark, graceful eyelashes and
eyebrows, dazzling white teeth. for
the Irish are supposed to have
teeth of snowy whiteness. and you
have a very charming picture. II
is generally agreed that persons OF
this combination are less apt to
have perfect features than pure
blondes or pure brunCttes-and the

famed for regularity of feature or
a classic mold of face. Just why
natives of ireland should have large
mouths. long upper lips and dimin-
utive noses it would take learned
anthropologist to say. but these fea-
turcs are the Cnes we look for in
caricatures of Irish folk. You will
find that even some of the famous
Irish beauties. with raven hair and
azure eyes and strawberries ana
cream complexions, have had up
per lips that were slightly too long
and insignificant noses.
The blue-eyed brunette is very
much admired in France-posslblE
because 1t is a type not very ire
ouent there. When you do find IL
in one of French stock, you Will md
that il is usually accompanied by
more olive skin and that the hair Is
dark brown-not black. 1t is rare,
indeed. to find the black hair. blue
ewes and white complexion outside
of the British Isles.

What S in a Name?
JOSEPHINE.
By Mildred Marshall.

The origin of Josephine lies in
Scriptural history. When. after
long waiting and hoping. a son was
born to Rachel, she named him
Joseph, the name coming from a
word meaning an addition. because
she hoped that there would be still
another child added to her family.
The beautiful character of Joseph
assured him namssakes beyond
number, and in 1921 a festival day
was fixed by the Pope in honor OF
st. Joseph, the husband of the
Blessed Virgin. This spread the use
of his name afar. Spain adopted IL,
calling him Jose Maria. or Pepito
for the contraction. In this way.
Pepita or Josefa, the feminine form,
arose.
The daughter of Maria Theresa
was called Maria Josepha, and these
names were seldom separated in
France. Italy and Germany. The
famous Empress Josephine really
bore the name of Marie Josepha
Rose. Her unfortunate career as
the wife of Napoleon made her such
dramatic figure In French history
that Josephine became the favorite
name of French damsels, who some
Finette. In Switzerland the name
became, through some curious con-
traction, Boppi. and Is still used as
such among the peasants.
Josephine was introduced into
England straight from France, and
nc effort was made to change IL or
place the stamp of the Anglo Saxon
upon 1t. America. taking it over,
straiGhtway contracted it to Josie,
but Josephine is always given in
baptism. Josephine is popular in
all Latin countries. except Spin,
which retains Josefa. Sweden has
musical Josefina.
Jet, signifying sorrow, is Joseph
ines talismanic stone. If worn b,

of sorrows, disease and SUFFERING

of decline is characterized by sew
eral organic changes; the muscles
lose their tone-not only the VOL
untary muscles but the involuntary

testines. This means that food
cannot be so easily digested.
The blood vessels are affected and

veins; absorption is delayed causing
swelling of the extremities.
In healthy age the body should
resemble a healthy school boy
