What's in a Name
HiLDEGARDE
(Copyright)

Hildegard is very popular in this
country though her origin is almost
lost to sight in Morse mythology. The
name means battle maid protector"
and links it's bearers with the warrior
maidens of the wild north.
Hildegardes direct predecessor was
Hildur, chief among the Valkyrier. In
England there was a Deiran princess
Hildur who became the holy abbess OF
Whitby, succeeding st. Begga.
The mother of Rolf Gangr, progeni-
tress Of English royalty, who vainly
besought Harald Harfagre not to
Danish her sons from Norway, was
named Hildr. Hildelidis is a popular
Anglo-SaXon name.
Hildegarde was first bestowed upon
an abbess in the Palatinate, who was
noted for her sanctity and who died
as late as 1904. In honor Of the holy
woman, Hildegard is still very popular
and in common usage among German
ladies. In Denmark, the same name
has been corrupted into Ollegard. The
Gothic queens of Spain bore a name
almost identical, Hilduara, meaning
battle prudence.
Amber is Hildegarde's talismantc
stone. 1t is said to protect her from
danger and disease, and to strengthen
the health Of mind and body It is
particularly lucky for singers, preserv.
ing and clarifying the voice, according
told superstition. Friday is her lucky
day and her lucky number.

SILKS GO DOWN; IS
FORECAST OF Lower
PRICES, SAYS W00LF

CHICAGO, May 6. - Concrete evil
dence Of the long looked for decline in
general high prices in merchandise
came Wednesday with a bang when
the Morris Woolf Silk company. 20
West Adams street. said to be the
largest silk jobbing concern in the
United States, announced selling to
the retail trade Of 100000 yards OF
bolt silks at reductions in price rang
ing from so cents to more than 81
yard.
While other merchandisers in vari'
Gus lines today are advertising large
cuts in prices on standard goods, this
was the largest and most important
announcement to the retail trade IN
more than three years OF pyramidlng
prices.
Foresees Cotton Price Slash.
1t means to the retailers that prices
are on the decline, that large cuts
may be expected in many lines. that
cotton and wooden goods especially
must come down from their dizzy
perches to correspond with the SILK
drop.
As a matter Of fact. according to
Morris Woolf. president Of the com
pany bearing his name, with this sell
aaS, SilhS are relatively iO"Cl III ~ ANS
than cotton goods, which will force an
early slashing of cotton prices.
Silk prices are the last to go ul
and the first to go down, said Mr.
Woolf For that reason they are a
pretty good barometer of other mar
kets. We have placed these goods on
sale at great reductions, taking losses
on them. We are nquidating stocks
which is something every wise mer
chandiser is doing now or will be do
,ng shortly. We have felt. as well as
all the silk trade, that the Japanese
market was too high. When that mar
ket tumbled it was time for US tc
tumble, too.
New Stocks to Be Lower.
I'VE want to squeeze the water out
of prices. This sort Of selling will dc
it. When new stocks come in prices
must be lower. That Is what every
merchant wants low prices with
greater turnover. Silk is now selling
relatively lower than other fabrics and
other fabrics are back to a sane basis
This sort of thing is an incentive to
business of the future. With Chicago
the central market Of the country fol
silks, We believed by starting this
price reduction that it would be felt
Immediately all over the country"
Mr.. Woolf said that all lines of man
ufactured silks, including taffeta, mes
saline, chaumeuse, satin, crepe re
chine, georgette, poplins and foulards
tub silks and shirtings are included
in the sales.

Jean came down to my studio again
this afternoon and her face was as
long as yard-measure, positively.
She had been crying, l could see that
and felt awfully sorry.
At first we talked simple nothings,
such as one engaged girl does to an
other, and I showed her my portrait
of Jeffry, which she admired, between
shifts, very much. After that the
f1ood-gate burst.
let the old girl have her cry out
and then she just sat down and told
me that she had broken off her en-
gagement with Harvey and told him
never to come near her again, and
all that sort Of stuff. let her rave
to her hearts content, never drop
ping any suggestions, nor taking sides
in any way, nutil she had talked her
self out then I said cooingly: And
do you dine with Harvey this evening,
Jean, DEAR"
She turned on me like a fury and
told me I was hideously stupid, for
all my pertness, and that she for one,
had enough self-respect to stay dis
engaged when once she had broken
on with man; furthermore, she,
Jean. was too much of an individual
to allow herself to be tied for life to
a man who couldn't and wouldn't see
farther than the end of his own nose.
or words to that effect. really ad-
mired her outburst trem endously. She
seemed once more like the Jean was
accustomed to. But again my femin-
inc intuition told me that but a few
short hours would elapse before the
inevitable reaction would set in. That
means the inevitable reunion of two
loving souls, of course.
Not to be outclassed, Of course, l
then told Jean some of my own trials
and misg1vings, such as mother-in-law
ETC.. and we had one of those sweetly-
bitter hours together that so many
women manage to put in.
l wept on Jeans shoulder and she
on mine. Then we suddenly looked at
each other and laughed. The laugh
did us good. It made US realize just
how human we were, and how truly
desirable. 1t also made US long for

Heart Problems

Dear Mrs. Thompson: A young man
tWenty-six years old asked me for
steady company. I am twenty-three.
accepted and went out with him
many times after that and he treated
me fine. At last when he was out with
me he asked for a date as usual and
he didn't come to fill it. I wrote him
a note and asked him what was the
reason and I didn't get an answer.
What should doo
I received Christmas present from
him in jewelry. Now know have to
return it to him. Should l return it
in person or send it by mail?
A WORRIED PERSON.
There is nothing you should do now
except to forget about the young man.
He acted in a most ungentlemanly way
and does not deserve your love.
Mail the jewelry to him.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: l am girl
past eighteen and I have a boy friend
of twenty. I think a great deal of
him and have known him for four
years. I always liked him more than
any other boy friend I had He made
the remark that was too independent.
Is it best to be independent to win
his love?
My only thoughts are of him and a
home with some dear little children.
II love children very much.
LONESOME.
Be natural and do not study your
actions to decide whether or not they
are too Independent. If the young
man does not care for you as you are,
let him go. You are making a mis-
take in permitting your thoughts to
dwell upon him so much; you can
forget him If you will.
At the age of eighteen you are not
hopelessly in love.

great task to purchase liquid refresh ments for the occasion and these brought it with them to their club or hotel where the party was staged. A large number robbed the stock of their private cellars and a larger number bought it openly despite the prohibition laws.
 Promptly at midnight the whistles of the factories commenced to blow to welcome the advent of a New Year. In the outskirts of the city a few noisy individuals threw open windows and fired few salutes from revolvers into the air.
 Dinner dances were staged at the Bridgeport, Seaside, Algonquin, Brooklawn and Green1awn clubs with a large celebration being staged at the Stratfie1d hotel.
 Today in honor of the New Year all the down town stores were closed and a great many of the factories and offices. Open. house for members and guests is being held at the clubs today.

PLENTY OF LIQUID
 REFRESHMENTS TO
 WELCOME 1920

AS the grey dawn broke in the east this morning it brought damp. murky, cloudy day for the first day of the New Year but there were few indeed who thought of the weather after the year of industrial strife, di- p1omatic wrangling over peace, riots, high cost of living and wartime pro- hibition but the vast majority thought and earnestly hoped for better and brighter year than 1919.
 Few indeed were the ones who were sorry to see the old year go but the farewell parties last night lacked their usual amount of punch" and the few who made any attempt to be gay and bid 1920" welcome were in a pitifu1 minority. Prohibition was the cause of this and unless the Supreme Court decides that the amendment is unconstitutional last night will probably be the last time when even the semblance of stwet'' New Years Eve wi2 ever be staged.

Manufacturers and merchants of Bridgeport are looking at the busf- ness prospects for the New Year very alphabetically and predictions are freely made that the coming year will be one of great prosperity in all lines.
