What's Ina Name?

Not so frequent in usuage but none
the less lovely and possessing OF a
good deal of poetic charm Is Imogene.
The name has mo definite history and
stymologists find II difficult to account
for it, but the generally accepted theory
Is that It is another form Of the Ina :
gina which is found in Germany in
early times
There was an Imagina of Limburg in
400 and various other instances of the
use of the name by German women.
How England secured the name of Imo-
gene is open to speculation. 1t is prob
abel that Shakespeare's heroine estab-
lished her vogue there, though etymol-
ogists contend that it was used by
British ladies before the master play
wright wrote his version of the old
story of the deserted and betrayed
wife, which he SO strangely placed at
the court of the last Independent Brit
ish prince.
At any rate, Shakespeare called his
heroine lmogene, thus establishing her
vogue forever. The name is still a
great favorite in England, but has
never had widespread popularity here,
due, perhaps to its. rather poetic as
soctations. Also 1t usually degenerates
into Gene. A few devoted admirers of

No soeia, Barriers in Turkey.

To those unfamiliar with Turkish
customs it may seem strange that
Talaak Pasha. who has Just resigned
the highest dignity in the Ottoman en-
pire, should have been earning his liv-
ing only a few years ago as an obscure
telegraph clerk. Yet such big jumps
are perhaps easier in Turkey thannin
any other country. For although the
Ottoman Turks often show the utmost
contempt for the numerous subject
races that help to make up the Turk
ish empire. they recognize no social
barriers among themselves. In, the
eyes of the sultan all are equal. Thus
1t may easily happen that. given the
necessary ability, even an emancipated
Ottoman slave may. become grand VI
zier. and perhaps marry into the sui
tan's own family.
