FAITH

IRON a Biblical source comes the
1 charming Faith. which sprang into
popular usage during the vogue Of
Puritanical names. The prevalence Of
appeuatives which denoted abstract
virtues marked the beginning Of Puri-
tanism in England and many such
names came under the ban from
other classes because OF the wide
spread dislike OF the Round Heads"
But the simple beauty Of Faith. as
well as the divine virtue for which
the name was symbol kept her popu-
larity undimmed. For was she not
one Of the trio whom St Paul recon-
mends to the Corinthians, saying;
And now abideth faith. hope. charity,
these three; but the greatest Of them
is charity"
The Puritans brought Faith TO New
England when they migrated from
their native land and the name has
been universally popular there. at the
same time spreading to other sections
OF the country. 1t Is one Of the feT-
feminine appellatives which cannot
be contracted.
The pearl is Faiths talismanic gem.
1t is fitting gem Of purity for its
wearer who Will possess enviable
charm and affability and have many
friends. Wednesday Is her lucky day
and five her lucky number.-Copy-
