What's In a Name?
MAY.
Ov MILDRED MARSHALL

The youthful name OF May is pc
culiarly difficult 10 discuss. There are

OF the innumerable forms OF Margaret.

evolution from Maisie and Maidie. Il
Is so much simpler and more logical
to believe that May Is really one OF the
calendar names bestowed il honor Of
the fifth month OF the year. II is the
name Of springtime and blossoms and
nesting birds and as such has a place
OF distinction all its own II has no
antecedants, under this theory, and can
not be contracted more than II already
Is,
The fad Of naming babies by the
name OF the month in which they were
born probably brought May into vogue,
The sudden spring TO fame OF April as
n feminine name is another instance,
and August Is so honored by Augusta
It is a curious fact that no other
language has an equivalent for May
