Generosity and warm heattedness

Women should be particularly
cautious and circumspect in all
business transactions while this

unfavorable rule that encourages
severe criticism and lack of patron

carrying on business which COM

seeds to a hill, about a foot apart
around the barrel. The vines are
trained on poultry wire. covering

CAROLINE.

It's curious fact that some
heroes lose, rather than gain, popu-
larity, when their deeds are recorded
in romance. Such was the case Of
the famous Karl, Of the Franks. who
Is responsible for the origin of the
feminine name Caroline. The great
emperor has suffered at the hands
of romantic chroniclers, but his
tory preserved the memory of Carlo
Magno," and from his name came a
long series Of masculine and femi-
nine proper names.
The first feminine translation
known is Carlota. This name is
synonymous with Charlotte in those
early times and indeed, Charlotte
and the Caroline of today are almost
interchangeable, IL their origin is to
be observed, no matter how sep
arate and distinct they seem to be.
Charlotte, or Carlota, of Savoy, mar
ried Louis NJ and introduced the
name to French royalty. Charlotte
Albret had the misfortune to be
given in marriage to Cesare Borgia
and had one daughter. who married
into the house of La Tremouille,
whence the brave Lady Derby car
ried 1t into England.
The Huguenotism OF that house
connected 1t with the House Of
Bouillon whose heiress Garcia, or
Charlotte, was married in 1888.
There, the House of Orange derived
1t and IL became known in Germany
and was brought to England in its
full popularity by the good queen
of George III. 1t gained sentimen-
tai vogue and an international fame
through Goethe who chose the name
for his heroine of "Werther."
The first Carolina was evolved in
Italy but was quickly adopted by
Southern Germany and in turn
brought to England by the wife of
George II, who made 1t extremely
popular among the nobility. Amer
lea received it first through the Car
olinas North and South) and its
fame and popularity as a feminine
proper name spread rapidly.
Caroline has numberless deriva-
tives and contractions. England
calls her Charlotte. Lofty, Chatty,
Caroline and Carrie. In France she
is Carolina, Charlotte, and Lolotte.
.Carlota and Lola are purely Span
ish and Carlotta and Carolina are
the Italian versions. Germany pre-
serves the original preference for
Charlotte, Carolina, and Lima.
Caroline's talismanic gem Is the
diamond. 1t promises her faithful
love; is she Is married, 1t will en-
hance the love Of her husband, but
1t should never be purchased as 1t is
only potent when it is a gift. Her
lucky day is Saturday and 1 is her
lucky number.
