PRECIOUS STONES AND
THEIR QUALITIESAS
BELIEVED BY ANCIENTS

The ancients had many curious
beliefs regarding the magic powers
OF jewels and precious stones. For
instance they thought that the car
buncle shone in the dark. That the
amethyst held its possessor harm
less from intoxication. The jacinth
was foe to melancholy. The owner
of sapphire was gifted with
prophecy. The beryl kept peace in
the family. The diamond enabled
its fortunate possessor to detect
poisons. Jasper was potent in
fevers. Coral was proof against en-
chantment. Chalcedony not only
laid ghosts, but the wearer could
not be crowned. Other jewels such
as amber, ebony, alabaster. Jet and
pearl. likewise had their spiritual
properties which gave them addi-
tional value.
The origin of the names of jewels
is very interesting. Defining the
names and noting their origin is the
province of the dictionary. This is
best done by The New Universities

What $ in a Name?
BY Mildred Marshall.
lean.

JEfAN.
Jean Is one of the many French
names which have come to be An
glicized by dropping the final end
ing. Though infinitely prettier
when spelled Jeanne, it is apparent
ly thought to SAVIOR too much of
the Gaelic for English ears. 1t is
one OF the simplest of feminine
names - its equivalent Jane being
the sole example of an appellative
even less burdened with affectation.
Jean means grace of the Lord"
Its earliest predecessor was Joanne,
wife of Herods steward. The Ro-
man calendar has two feasts in
honor of Joanna. the holy woman
of the Bible, but the real vogue Of
the name is due to the numerous
st. Johns of the Scriptures of which
Joanna is really the feminine.
In the Twelfth century Jehanne
and Jeanne appeared in the south
of France and Navarro. The latter
was especially a patrician name and
its bearer married into many Of
the royal families of the times. The
daughter of Henry II, who married
in Sicily, was the first English
princess so called. The Scottish
Joan Beaufort, whom the Scots
called Jean, was the maiden be-
loved by the captive James /.
The sapphire is the talismanic
gems belonging to Jean. 1t is said
to attract divine favor for her and
protect her from all danger and dis
ease Friday is her lucky day and
2 her lucky number.

II certainly Is no compliment to q
woman's disposition to say that 1t

to impress you first with her clever

Her manners were plant and

never seemed conscious Of her own

In feature she possessed a long,

mouth, long nose and half-closed
eyes that were unfathomable be-

eyebrows.
This remarkable woman was

her vows and finally secured her
complete freedom she was spoken
