DORTIIY,

DORTHY.
One Of the duaintest and most whim-
steal Of origin is that from which
Dorothy sprang. Theos and zeus'
father OF the gods. were Identical
terms in ancient Greece. From Theos
came many masculine names, and one
feminine, Theodore. which slgnined
"glft OF God" or divine gift" Curl
ously enough, the reversal OF the name
into DO~Othea was speedily accom-
plished and though absolutely incOr-
rect. gained more prevalence In the
western world than Theodore has ever
achieved.
The beautiful legend Of 81. Dorothea
helped 10 give her name widespread
fame. II is the story OF the Cappa-
docian maiden who sent the roses OF
paradise by angelic hands as testimony
Of the Joy she was reaping DorOthea
became a patron saint In Germany and
England straightfy adopted her name
because Of Masslnger's powerful drama.
Dorothy was the next step In her evO-
luton and Dolly became a popular
dlminutive. Indeed. so common was
10 In usage that Il became th. grnerlo
term for wooden children or puppets
In the time Of Elizabeth Stuart and
hence our own dolly" or doll beloved
Of the small girl.
Dorothy became a Puritan name at
the height OF the reign OF the House
Of Hanover, and was used by Mrs.
Dorothy Cromwell and other Rounhead
daughters. France called her DorO-
thee, while Germany preferred the
original DOrOthea. and Italy omitted
the aspirate and made her DOrotea.
England and America favor Dorothy
with its fluffy dminutive Dolly. Rus
sia, by some mysterious translation,
derived Dariia, though some historians
object TO this explanation, claiming
that the patrOnesses Of DariIa was an
Athenian lady martyred with her hus-
band. Chrysanthus, at Rome, and

Dorothy's talismanic gem Is the dia-
mond. II is said to afford her pro-
lection from evil and bring her happi-
ness. As the old legend goes:

harm,
Him that shall wear the diamond as a
charm"

No article of commerce is. do

to supremacy il the production
Of crude rubber Of the islands Of
