What S in a Name
PEARL
(Copyright)

Pearl is undoubtedly name of
great price,! Not only is it musical
in sound, but it honors the exquisite
translucent gem which is the symbol
of purity the world over
The Persian term for the jewel is
Muryarid, meaning child of light"
Their legend OF the origin of the pearl
a charming and beautiful fancy, is in
accordance with the ancient idea that
the oysters, rising to the surface of
the water at night opening their shells
in alteration, received into their
mouths drops of dew, CONCEALED
by the moonbeams into the lustrous
gem which resembles the moon itself
The pearl has always been associat-
ed with purity and sanctity. Pearls
were chosen as the jewels to adorn the
gates of the Celestial City and the
gem has had countless uses as a
symbol in the religion of all countries.
Pearl is enormously popular in Eng
land. Like Muriel and Molly and
Vivian and Sibyl, it may almost be
said to be one of the national femin-
inc names. In this country it has
likewise a widespread vogue. We
have even gone further and made a
diminutive Pearley, which is popular
in some sections, though a trif1e pro-
vincial
Pearls talismanic stone is, of course,
her own gem, the pearl. 1t promises
her great charm and affability, and
many friends. 1t will always guard
her from dangers and evil and pre-
serve her purity. Thursday is her
