What's In a Name
LEONA
(Copyright)

I6ONA
Leona, is a feminine name, evol-
we'd in this country from the popular
French Leonie. signifying Zion.
But it's earliest origin was not French
but Greek. Leo was a favorite in
Greece. Herodotus attributes it's
popularity to the fact that the cap
tive Leo was the first victim of the
Persians.
The name was passed on through
Greeks of all ranks, until it came
10 Byzantine emporers and Roman
bishops. Two Popes were so called.
One was famous for his intercession
with Attila; the other went down in
history some of Romes greatest
sons, since he turned away the wrath
OF the Saracens. The name thus be-
came favorite on the papal throne,
and was considered to allude to the
Lion of the Tribe of Judah, which
was subsequently scultered on ST.
Peters, in the time of the Medicean
Leo X
Leone and Leonie are popular fem
mines in Spain and France: Leonardo

Spanish favorit. Leona, however,
Is an American version. By some it
is believed to be the result of the in
fluence of American Indian nomen-
clature.
Coral is Leona's talismanic stone.

INA.
One of the most curious names
which has achieved widespread popu-
larity today, is Ina. 1t is a name
without a history, without a country
without even past. A product of
modern fancy, based on some fair
lady's whim-this is practically the
only explanation which can be given
for the 1nas of this genealogical age.
1t is thought by some that it bears
a sufficiently striking resemblance 10
the Spanish Ines to be considered an
Angelicized derivative. That theory
would make Ina equivalent to our
agnes, and would give it the signif-
canoe of pure. 1t might also be

If you are considered f1irt you will

an older sister is not always welcomed.
Try to realize that she too has your
interest at heart and when she sug-

II would be very foolish to leave home.
If you roomed somewhere you would
find life very dreary and would long

Do not marry the boy who has

more able to choose wisely. Very few

Although the schools furnish a set

would find a tool case like the one de-
