What S in a Name?
By Mildred Marshall.
CARMEN.

The very Spanish name of Car
men and the more or less English
appellative Carmels are identical,
though they are used as distinct
names, both signify vineyard" and
come to US through the Italian
where Carmen is spelled Carmine.
The source of these two names is
bound up in the history OF the
prophet Elijah whom the Greek
translators called Elias. When the
Empress Helena visited Palestine
she built a church on Mt. Carmel.
around which rose a cluster OF
hermitages.
The order of Carmelites was said
to have been founded by the prophet
himself, but when the Latins over
flowed into Palestine IT first came
into note and its fame became wide
spread throughout the West. St.
Mary was made its patroness and in
Italy she became known as the Ma
donna di Carmela or the Madonna
di Carmine. AS result of the two
names of Carmela and Carmine
gained great popularity among the
Italian women. They are still used
there and in Spain, where Carmine
was turned into Carmen, the name
became a national favorite.
The ruby is Carmen's talismanic
gem. 1t is said that she who wears
a ruby can dwell without fear in
the midst of enemies and will al
ways be shielded from adverse for
tune. The gem must be worn. how
ever. on the left side. Tuesday is
Csrmen's lucky day and I her lucky
number.

The mistake the average young

scraps Of information that she has

human and reacts to various stimuli
just about as older persons do.

fair to wrap poor little mite that

binder. put him to bed in an over
heated condition without an evening
sponge. and forget" to give him
his orange juice?
Women otherwise Intelligent will
often refrain from the frequent
shower baths in the intensely hot
weather believing that it "weakens"
them. This is tOmmyrOt. There Is
nothing more weakening than pro-
