The real Althea, which comes from
the Greek word, meaning healthy or
wholesome, belonged in ancient times
TO the unfortunate mother Of Me-
leager. II persisted as a feminine
name in ancient Greece, but is now
more often used TO designate q genus
OF mallOws, or rather to allude TO
their healing power.
1t comes to us through literary
channels and maintains its somewhat
isolated state, never having descended
to anything like common usage

CONSUELLA

A NAME that belongs almost out
- right TO literature is Consuella.
It is generally regarded as
French, though in popular usage IL
has a distinctive English flavor. Very
few etymologists list it among femi-
nine names and It is not possible to
trace its evolution
Consuella first gained fame in the
time Of George Sands CMadame Bude-
vant)- In her novels -Consuella" and
Ia Comtesse de Rudolstadtr the
heroine was a Spanish singer whose
noble purity was sustained amidst
temptations and disallusions. Con-
suella was swept along on the wave
OF popularity which accompanied
literary names in England.
In this country il achieved no great
vogue until the time OF the lovely
Consuella Vanderbilt, who married
the duke Of Marlborough, and became
chat elaine Of one OF the nobiest
houies OF Great Britain. The wide
spread use Of Consuelia was appar-
ent immediately throughout the coun-
try.
The pearl is Consuella's talismanic
gem and is said to preserve her charm
and bring her friends and admirers.
