As a Woman Thinks
BY EDITH r. MoRlARTY.
WHOM WOMEN ORGANIZE

| WHOM WOMEN ORGANIZE
| A large public hall was filled with
| women There was buzzing, whisper
| ing, laughing and the general hustle
| ana bustle which usually precedes a.
| meeting. Through all the turmoil there
| seemed to be strained lndercurrent.
| the air seemed charged and even those
women who just CHANGED in as spec
tators seemed ito feel that something
was going to happen. The sign on the
door had said that, it was an open
political meeting called by the official
organizer of political party,
The meeting was called to order by
the organizer, who then proceeded to
state her reason for being there and
to present plans for organization which
were recommended by the national
| leaders She asked to make her reporf
and then retire and let the women pres

Then the storm broke. Women clam-.
ored for recognition. Someone did not
like that method Of doing things. Some-
one wanted chairman elected. Some-
one wanted the organizer upon whose
Invitation they were there put out. Some
did not know what they wanted but
| they clamored for attention and Kissed,
and clapped, and stamped their feet.
The chairman attempted to have her
report given despite the uproar. Then

The ayes won by big number. Then
the opposition, beaten by q fair and

What's In a Name?

ALBERTA.

dictate, lnc.)
Alberta, meaning hobly bright, has
its origin in the Teutonic language. 1t
is one Of the names cofning from the
nobility of which Aethel Is the root.
Aethelbryht was its first form.
though it was masculine name and
waA given to the first Christian king
of england. The famous bishop Of
Prague, who was martyred near Dant-
zig, while preaching to heather Prus-
SLAMS, in 997, was called Adelbrecht, and
his fame spread the use of the name
throughout a great part OF Europe.
Italy received it and straightway
changed 1t to Alberto, 1t is from this
latter that the feminine forms, AL
berta and Albertine, were formed. The
husband of the late Queen Victoria,
who bore the name OF Albert brought
the masculine and feminine into great
vogue in England. Indeed, it has since
been accepted as a national name.
But. like all names which have a
masculine and feminine equivalent, AL
berta has no really individual exist
ence. After all, she As merely mas
culine name with feminine termina-
ton. But unlike many OF her contem-
poraries, such as Edwina and Roberta,
she is almost frivolously feminine and
is not regarded as substitute name
for the hoped-for son and heir who
was to have been called Albert.
Jade is Alberta's talismanic stone
1t has the power to assure it's wear
er great prosperity, and freedom from
danger and disease. But it should
never be removed from the finger, arm
or throat on which 1t Is worn. Monday
is Alberta's lucky day and one her
| lucky number.
Note to readers: Is there a fact con-
| corning your name in which you are
| interested? Do you know Its history;
its meaning; its derivation and slgnlfi-
canoe? Do you know your lucky day
and your lucky. jewel? II not, Mildred
