What's In A Name?
BETTY.

BETTY.
Betty, conjuring visions Of a
saucy. piquant young person, is
really 4 name OF sacred import. 1t
has a lengthy biblical history and
bears the significance OF Gods
oath" According to etymologists
its earliest origin was among the
Isrealites at the period of the Ex-
odus, when it was their habit to
make a name contain a dedication
to the Deity by beginning or ending
it with . word Of Divine sfgnifi-
canoe.
Thus the word Ell was used to
correspond with our term Deity,
and Jacob called the spot where
he beheld the angels, Beth Ell
House OF God). Elizabeth and
Isabel are two other feminine
names which had this same origin
and Betty is the outgrowth of Eliz-
abeth's evolution, though SO preva-
lent is the former that, in many IN
stances, it has lost its original

and individual name.
Elizabeth Woodville, whose moth
er was Jacquetta Of Luxembourg,
was one of the early Bettys Of his
tory. Her daughter, Elizabeth OF
York, also bore the charming dim
inutive. By that time, Betty had
won such popularity in the English
court that at least a third of the
court beauties we're called Lady
Betty" irrespective OF their bap-
tismal names. Betty was demo-
cratic, however, and It had equal
vogue in the villages. To this day
it is the title Of many a pre.ty rus
tic coquet in England, not to men
ton its widespread vogue among
all classes in this country.
The diamond is Betty's talisman-
ic gem. For her, 1t is said to be q
symbol Of true love and will insure
/ her fortunate marriage. Sunday
is her lucky day and 4 her lucky
