married Magnus OF Saxony and
spread the use of the name through
out Saxony. Denmark is said to
have received it through this latter
princess and has since made it al
most a national name. Its vogue
with the royalty Of Denmark is un-
mistakable and its use spread
through all classes.
England barely escaped having
a queen Sophia. and even though
Sophia Dorothea of Yette never &C
tually assembled the throne of Eng
land, her granddaughter gave it
vogue in the British isles in the
reign of the house Of Honaver.
England claimed both Sophia and
Sophy. France makes her Sophie;
Italy, Sofia; Germany, Sophia and
Fieka, and Russia Scotia.
Sophia has an odd talismanic
stone-malachite. 1t protects its
wearer from danger if it is engrav-
ed with an image of the sun. 1t is
particularly potent for children and
is said to ward off disease and pro-
mote peaceful slumber if attached

Prosperity in a Lump.

Garment workers. already making from $40
to SIS per week and producing less, their en-
ployers say. than ever before. get pay in
crease OF Is per cent. The commission which
made the award specified that no increase in
prices should result, but we all know how
that will turn out The commission has no
authority in connection with prices, in the first
place, and there would be no way for it to
enforce its mandates anyway.
For many years garment workers were
among the poorest paid and most oppressed
class. Assuredly they had . great deal coming
to them and complaints from the public with
respect to price increases necessary to pay
them decent wages come with poor grace. Just
the same there is such thing as comforting
prosperity upon them faster than they are able
to assimilate it and from all accounts that is
what is being done.
Garment makers, Of course are not the
only workers who are in the same situation
Thousands upon thousands who never have had
an income in excess Of their imperative needs
now have money to spend for comforts and
Injuries heretofore beyond their reach. No
right thinking person begrudges them their
prosperity, but the suddenness of it, with the
resulting unwise spending, has had an unfor-
tunate effect upon prices and production.

Sophia.
The wisest of feminine names is
Sophy, or Sophia as she should be
called properly. 1t is perhaps the
only name which is closely associa-
ted with divine attributes, since its
origin dates back to the dedication
Of that most gorgeous of Christian
temples by which Justinian declar-
ed that he had surpassed Solomon.
1t was called Sta. Sophia (the holy
wisdom of God.)
According to the preacher" in
the book Of Ecclesiastus, wisdom
is the mother of fair love. hope.
and holy fear, and this idea is said
to have suggested the allegory OF
the holy woman with three daugh-
tiers so called and in compliment
to the newly built church. the niece
Of Justianian's empress. afterward
wife Of his nephew and successor,
was called Sophia. The name
straightway became fashionable
among the daughters Of the nobil-
ity of Greece and was carried,
through Slavonians, to Germany.
History records Hungarian
princess of that name in 919, and
another, daughter Of King Geysa,
