Italians call her, was devoted dis

direction, established an order of
women following his rule and call
ed Poor Clares" or sisters Of st.
Clara. The French call the name
Claire. The Breton form is Skleara
and Firms have contracted it to
Lara.
Clara and its derivatives have been
q favorite with the poets, whose
verse to the lovely maids who have
borne the name are almost too nu-
merous and exquisite to permit the
selection Of one. Tennyson has per-
haps written the most charming
lyric around the name; everyone is
familiar with his Lady Clare"
II Clara would have the fullest
benefits from the name she bears
she must wear her talismanic jewel
the carnelian. This water-colored
stone supplies the contrast to the
rather chill, naughty beauty asso.
ciated with the name. A carnelian
gives courage to its wearer and is
especially to be desired by one who
uses her voice as singer or public
speaker. as it insures strength oi

CLARA.

Clara, it may be readily surmised
by anyone familiar with Latin. is
derived from the adjective. meaning
bright, clear, or famous. As q mu-
steal and ever-charming feminine
name, It has kept its significance.
though the steps of its history are
many and devious.
Tho Romans used the name
Clarus as a masculine name, and
It vogue spread in Europe. st.
Clarus is revered as the first bish-
op Of Nantes in Brittany in A. d.
$50. Another Clarus, a native OF
Rochester. was native near Rouen
who was murdered at the instiga-
ton of q wicked woman who had
vainly paid her addresses to him.
The name then changed to Clair
and, combined with a saint,
named two of the most noted fami-
lies in the history Of Great Britain
besides the various de st. Clairs'
