ABIGAIL
BY MILDRED MARSHALL

Quaint and simple and old-fashioned
as Abigail is considered In this cOun-
try. the name has an interesting his
tory in England. II signifies father
OF Joy and was used by the East
ern nations 20 represent the abstract
quality Of ioyfulnss. The Biblical
Abigail. In her courtesy TO David, so
recommended herself TO early read
ers Of the Holy Book that her name
appeared frequently In church reg
isters.
In the reign Of Queen Anne. Abl-
gail Masham eXerted such a back
sair influence upon the worthy sover-
eign, that the name became a sobri-
quet for lady's maid. Other etymolo-
gists, explain, however, that II owes
It's reputation for belonging TO a
waiting-woman to Beaumonts COM
edy THE ScOunful Laddn" played
in 1915. where the waiting gentle
woman was called Abigail.
In a play of killigrew's. some thirty
years later. the term Abigail was used
for a maid servant and It's sudden
failure was attributed 10 its reference
TO the influence Of the famous Ahi-
gail Masham. After that time, the
name was considered a cant term for
lady's maid but with the coming Of
the Puritans 10 America, Il sprang
again into favor among the higher
classes and is today much used in
old-fashioned families, especially In
New England.
The amethyst Is Abigail's talismanic
stone. 10 is believed to protect her
from evil Of every kind and TO be
particularly potent In guarding her
from deceitful acquaintance. Sunday
is her lucky day and 6 her lucky
number.
