WHAT'S IN A NAME?
MARIAN.

Mary, which is the root of num-
berless feminine names Of simple
dignity, Is responsible for romantic
Marian. Like her forerunner, Ma
rian signifies bitter, but a sweeter
name would be difficult to find. Ma
ria was probably its direct progeni-
tor and Marian came about through
the introduction of the French di-
minutive "on," thus forming tin
name of
"A bonny fine maid Of noble degree,
Maid Marion by name"
The delightful story Of Robin
Hood gave fame to her name and as
early as 1882 she was given a
unique place in popular favor by the
play of robin ct Marion by the
students of Anglers, one of them ap-
pearing as "fllette deguisee." The
origin of Marionette is thus ex-
planned: puppets disguised to play
the part of Maid Marion. Another
explanation is that the term comes
from the custom of calling the
small images of the Blessed Virgin
lMariettes or Marionettes and sew
eral streets of Paris where these
tiny figures were set UP were called
the Rues des Marionettes. Gradu-
ally all puppets came to be called
lMarionette5 and the bauble carried
by a court Jester was Marotte OF
lMarionette.
In France Marion became very
popular; indeed that country rarely
accepts Marian. Marion was speed
lily contracted to Manon and also ex-
panded into Marionette, as a poem
written in the 18th century gives
proof. Scotland has always loved
Marion and Maid Marion, fair as ar
ivory bone" is popular in rustic
ipageantry there. They call her Me.
ME occasionally.

Tony Lascelles was persona

In Alice's eyes. Her husband prob
ably didn't share the feeling.
But the young man always was
made welcome. Alice's husband was
the very soul of hospitality. Kind,
too. to a degree.
He seldom demonstrated with
Alice in her friendships. "Flirta-

OF course, feather-headed Alice

That was the irony of fate.

forgotten that I'd ever been his
wife. While Alice-who didn't know
the meaning of the word affection"

now was the time to push my

"You always hated Jim st.
Aubyns?" 1 repeated softly. But
he never harmed you, Tony"
Il hated him-I think i always
shall, too," repeated Tony doggedly.
The look on his dark young face
was not a pretty one. He stared
straight ahead 6f him, with a far
on gaze in his eyes, as though he
were seeing again the long vista Of
the past years.

put in. ~"
Worse and worse" Tony scowled.
"He was as hard as brass, and ready
to listen to every word against me.
He didn't believe in second chances"
What did you do to make him

him.
Tony looked shifty. know that

-Oh, nothing better nor worse
than the average youth. Wild oats
and that sort of thing"
was Jim the same?"
"Jim posed as being an angel,
though I'll bet he really wasn't.
The man beside me sneered, as he
spoke these words. He turned to
face me. A queer light was in his
eyes. III what you say is true-if
