Mildred is something OF holy name
asince it has heritage closely asso-
Hiated with religious orders. Though
,said to be of Teutonic origin, it was
Exclusively Saxon in it's early use; in
hdeed it may be said to be almost Mer-
Cian, since it's first appearance was
hin the family of King Merowald.
Mild was a Saxon word meaning
mild, and, by the addition of 'tryth'
,another Saxon term signifying COM
fmand the feminine name Of Mild
,thryth was formed. Because it was
translated to mean mild speech it
was much used as a name for gentle
damsels with religious inclinations.
King Merowald had three daughters
whom he named Mildgyth, Mildburgh.
and Mildthryth-thus employing all
versions of the name then in use. All
three became nuns of holy order.
The two latter were lates ADDRESSES,
one in Shropshire, the other in the Isle
of Thanet. They were finally canon
led in recognition of their sanity lives
as Mildburgh and Mildreda.
Thus Mildred, or Mildreda Gas you
perfer) came into existence. and
straightway won great popularity in
Shropshire and later, throughout Eng
land. Germany adopted Mildred, but
it has never had definite vogue there
in spite of its supposed Teutonic orr
gin. The consonants were too harsh
for France and Spain, though the lat
ter occasionally employs Mildreda, &C
centing only the vowels in the soft
Latin manner.
Mildred was the name given to the
famous daughter of Burleigh, and
,throuph her it's place among English
maids was forever assured. Recently
1T was revived to even greater vogue
lin England and America and etymof
'ogists claim that the record of babies
christened by that name in the last
ten years of the nineteenth century
would be astounding and unbelievable.
The emerald is Mildred's talismanic
gem. 1t is said to promise keen
intellect. charm, and success in affairs
of the heart The hawthorne, Signi-
flying hope, is her flower Wednesday
is her lucky day and is her lucky
number.

The purpose and the ideals which
brought 1t into being are the only
ones which ever in any way will be per-
