What's In a Name?

HETTY.
, The simple little name Of Hetty
suggestive Of pleasant homely domes-
ticity has lofty significance. II
Is translated TO mean a star Per-
haps. after all, the steady, bright in
sistence OF the stars may have some
psychic reference to the generally ac-
cepted conception Of the Hettys OF the
world.
Hetty is in reality the endearing
dimlnutive given TO the more dignl~
fled Hester, but go coldly austere Is
the latter name that Hetty has come
plete disregard for its proper predeces-
sor.
lIetty came into existence by rather
complicated evolution through several
languages The fair daughter Of the
tribe Of Benjamin whose loyalty in
sured her peoples safety, was called
Atossa. Her name IN the Persian
language-quite unpronounceahle-was
combined with the Latin word for star
stella" and from the union, came the
modern estrella. In the Septuagint,
the Romans make this word Hestera or
Esthera..
In England the "a" was dropped and
Hester and Esther were bestowed as
feminine names. The latter became
ESSie when the inevitable di1hhuNNe
was forthcoming, ard Hester soon gave
place to Hetty, though the original
form was usually preserved on the
church registers. II was for America
to gayly discard the proper appellatiVe
and substitute Hetty for all oecas-
ions.

quoise, which promises her steadfast
