GEORGIA.

Georgia has a deeply religious origin
among the MaTtnite Christians who
have a tradition that Georges was a
Christian sentinel at Damascus. who
connived at the escape Of St Paul
when he was let down in the basket.
and was therefore put to death. The
next Georges was a Cappadocian saint
and martyr in whose honor the En-
peror Constantine erected Il church at
Bvzantium. Throughout all early
church history Georgius appears as
saint. martyr or hero until finally the
famous st. George of the Dragon
legend became renowned In England,
Curiously enough. though George
penetrated every country Of the West,
being adopted by England. France,
Hungary and Germany, the feminine is
quite a modernism, II was not until
comparatively recent years that Anne
Of Denmark was instrumental in hav-
ing a godchild Of hers, christened
Georgia Anna She was the first Eng
fish Georgia, though the name is said
to have existed previously on the con-
tinent. II Is possible that this same
Georgia Anna coupled her two names
for the sake OF euphony and Is re
now so popular in all English speaking
countries.
The French adopted Georgia, but
quickly changed her to Georgine and
Georgette Germany liked Georgine
and took her over, making her one OF
her most popular feminine names. Eng

PASSING OF DELANEY.

The death of Leo Delaney removes
from motion picture circles one Of the
oldest motion picture players in the
business. Not old from the standpoint
of years, but old in the sense of hav-
ing been in pictures for many years.
He was one of the first Vitagraph
stars and played leads during the days
of Maurice Costello's fame as star.
In fact, Delaney and Costello were
thought to look so much alike they
were frequently cast as brothers. Mr..
Delaney died from pneumonia after
having been sick only a few days. AL
the height of his success he was con-
sidered one of the most popular men
in pictures.
