TRXE

TRLAIE is o merely the c~olloquial
contraction OF Beatrice, as is gen
orally supposed IN fact, TriEfe
was in vogue in England before Bea-
trice was used as a feminine proper
name II comes, OF course, from the
Italian beator, meaning "hlesser."
and came into existence through Bea-
trix, which sprang full grown and
without a~ntecedent into the usage Of
Diocletian's time, when a Christian
maiden so called was martyred and
her relics later enshrined in a church
at Rome.
Beatrix became almost a national
name in italy, thanks TO Dante, and
England quickly acquired Il. cut of
the first three letters. in many in
stances. and evolved the ePdearment,
TriL- Shakespeare took the same
his high spirited heroine Beatrice. In
Spain, il named many queens. but de-
spite its association with royalty and
with the greatest omanc Of liter
ature, b quantity abbreviated Trix
persisted in England.
The latter appeared too curt 10
Yankee ears, which are accustomed 70
a diminutive ending In a vowel. so
Trixie came into existence herr and
continues to be popular. both as an
Independent name and as a contrac-
ton OF the stately Beatrice.
TriNie, like Beatrice. has an un-
usual stone as a talisman. 1t Is the
basalt. which is proof against danger
and Is especially valuable TO the trav-
eler. Thursday is her lucky day ard
