ELEANOR.


Eleanor, signifylng light, Is de-
rived from Helios, the sun-god, who,
according to Greek neurological legend,
drove his flaming chariot around the
universe day by day. Helios furnished
the Teutonic adjective meaning bright
or clear, which eventually evolved
Helen and later Ellen, through aboli-
ton Of the aspirate.,
The LatniZed form of Ellen was
Elena. feminine name that won
great popularity in Italy. In the Ro-
manesque population Of Provence, the
name became Alienor. This so siezed
upon poetic fancy that the name re-
ceived all the homage the Languedoo
could pay. Aliena was the next step
in the evolution and the first famous
woman so called was termed Eleanor
by the French king who married her,
and II was she who became the grim
Eleanor OF the dagger bowl. the Ac-
quitanian grandmother who handles
words with Constance of Brittany in
Shakespeare's King John"
Her daughter carried the name to
Castillo, where she became Leonor
Her descendant. the daughter of San
Fernando brought the name back to
England as our good Queen Eleanor
and gave it renown which largely coun-
teracted the bad impression left by the
Provencal Alicnor, wife Of Henry Ill

der the Flantagenets. II was later
spelled Eltnor and sometimes Ellinor

LENINE PLEADS WITH
SOCIALISTS FOR PEACE

ROME. Jan. 9,--The Epoca says Nlco-
lai Lenine has written another letter
to the directors of the socialist party
imploring them not to precipitate any
revolt tionary movement which, in the
present conditions, would have no prob
ability of success.
Lenine adds that revolution in Italy
now would have a great repercussion In
the Russian soviet republic, which is
about to negotiate with bourgeois pow
ers for the acknowledgment OF the
present state of affairs In Russia and
also for essential economic agreements.
All this would be rejected, says Lenine,
if another revolution occurred in Italy,
because with the eventual spread Of
Bolshevism throughout Europe. in q
spirit Of preservation the states still
immune from Bolshevsm would her
metically close themselves against in
lection and the soviet republic destined
TO become type for the future would
not have time to strengthen itself suf-
fiCieutly to become vital.
