coRDELIA.

Charming in Its translation Is Cor
della, jewel OF the sea, It's origin is
purely Kettle and it is not derived from
cor, meaning heart, nor Is 1t the fem
mime of Cordeleo. lion heart, as is
generally supposed. The first form in
which it appears Is the appalling and
much syllabled Creirdyddlydd, which
was derived from Crair, the Kettle
word for token. the sacred article on
which man makes oath, hence jewel.
C~reirdyddlydd was a creation Of an
client Welsh poetry. once mythical, and
was the daughter of the sea, who went
by the name Of Llyr. Godfrey of Mon
mouth took the story and making the
eleventh of the kings descended from
Brute, to be called Leir and to live at
Leircester in the time OF Elisha the
prophet, laid the foundation for the
later exquisite story OF filial devotion
presented by Shakespeare in his king
Lear"
Godfrey of Monmouth gave the
name OF Cordeilla to the reserved but
faithful OF Leir's daughters. who re-
fused to pay lip service, but none the
less, redeemed her fathers kingdom,
when he was eXiled and misued by her
flattering sisters. According to his
story, Leir was buried by Cordeilla in
a vault made under the river Lore and
she was. later dethroned by her
nephews and committed suicide in
despair.
Spenser adheres to this story, but
Shakespere's sweet Cordelia is spared
self-destruction. Cordula Is another
form of the name, but we cannot be
certain hat it was meant to indicate
the same origin. 1t appears on Welsh
and German church calendars. where
Cordula's day is set down for the 22d
of October as one OF 1l,OO0 virgins, her
feast following that Of st. Ursula.
Amber is Cordelia's talismanic gem.
1t is said to ward off illness and the
ink of bad luck. Through its mystic
association with the sea, 1t insures a
safe voyage to travellers. Friday is
Cordelia's lucky day and 3 her lucky
number.

COMMON SENSE AMONG
CENSORS is CONSENSUS

Why should the position of censor of
movies and theatricals in a city like
Memphis be used apparently as an en-
tree for the free admittance of theater
parties, rather than a discriminating
scrutiny Of the performances? '
Much of the risque has cotton by
lately in Memphis theaters probably
when censors were so busy getting their
parties seated, apparently to overlook
scenes and lines they would not want
repeated before their children, wives or
daughters, il they had any.
