What's In a Name?
-
BY MILDRED MARSHALL
VIVIAN.

The charming name of Vivian is al
most equivalent Of the adjective wi
vacious." II means lively, having been
derived from the Latin vita, signifying
life, and was used by the Roman Chris
tians to express their hopes of eternity.
In later Roman days Vivana came
to>be popular through a Christian maid
en- of that name who was put to death
by Roman governor on the charge
that she had destroyed the sight of one
Of his eyes by magic. Much later a
chuRch was erected over her remains.
Her fame and name fingered, and APP
pears prominently again in SMorte
dArthur,' when Vivianna is the en-
chantresS of King Arthurs court.
Scotland took over the name of Wv
ian, applying it as both masculine and
feminine name France adopted the
masculine form as Vivien, and straight
way formed the now popular feminine
Vivienne. England has always favored
Vivian and America received and popu-
larized the name under that spelling.
Niviana is the favored form in Spain
and italy the latter country still en-
ploying the early Roman Viva.
Vivian's talismanic gem is the life
giving ruby. Its ineXtinguishable flame
promises her dauntless courage, bodily
health and strength, AND dispels evil
spirits. To dream Of 1t signifies UNI
expected guests. Friday is her lucky
day and three her lucky number. The
lily, signifyng purity, is her flower.

Not All Scoundrels.

OF course there have been, and are
many men who want their wives to
keep their own. Nor is every man who
feels that his wife should turn over
her property to him a CRATER, and a
scoundrel who means to cheat her out
Of her money. II Is mostly survival
OF the old theory that wife IL a
chattel who belongs TO man. and
that what she has is his, but no mat
ter what the mans motives In taking
his wife's money from her the effect
on her is the same,
She loses out She Is left dependent
on his bounty, and must ask Of him as
1 favor the money that belongs to her
by rights. She has given away her
birth right. and while one may admire
her generosity one can but deplore her

even her own money from the wife, or
worse still, he is u gay philanderer and

fact coupled with the further fact
that the league Is un-AmcriCan Is
precisely why we are opposed to

America goes in but we would be

obligation to suppress any agitation
for sympathy, much less recognition.

the league tho right TO bring to tho
attention of that body any circum-
s'anCe whatever affecting interna-
uonal relations which threatens TO
disturb International peace. In other
tords II We go in the British gov
