What S in a Name?
By Mildred Marshall
TIIlIE.

lille.
Tillie, which has long been re-
garded as one Of the contracttons
formed from Mathilda, has really
the right to independent existence,
so frequently does 1t occur in nomen-
clature since the time of Henry the
Fowler. 1t signifies mighty battle
maid" and is one of the old Teu-
tonic names indicative Of power.
BY rights it should be spelled
Tile.
1t comes of course from the old
German word for main or might.
Its first form was Magtnhild,
which very naturally became NAH
third meaning main heroine" or
might heroine" The name was
first borne by the wife of the EN-
peror Henry the Fowler, who aft
erward became the Abbess Of Qued-
lingburg. AS Mechtild it appeared
as the title Of the Abbess OF Adils-
tetten and straightway receives
great vogue at the hands of all
French maidens.
In Italy there appears the Coun-
tess Matilda, the friend of Gregory
Seventh and it is from this name,
which was adopted by the English.
that the contraction Tilly was
formed For the sake of endear-
ment Tilda came to be adopted as
separate name from the sratery
Mathilda and Tilly was the natural
outgrowth of the evolution.
The turquoise is Titles talismanic
stone. It is said to protect its
wearer from accidents and evil in

of great good fortune. Wednesday
