"What's in a Name?"
By MILDRED MARSHALL
Facts about your name; its history; mean
ing; whence it was derived: significance;
your lucky day and lucky jewel.
MARIE

MARIE is perhaps the most preva-
lVl lent feminine name known to
etymologlsts. Its synonym, Mary, has
almost equal vogue, and Maria, its
other equivalent, is enormously popu-
lar. But though Marie is originally the
French version of the name of the
Blessed Virgin, all countries have
adopted her and called her their own.
Originally, of course, the Hebrew word
mnrah meaning bitter, is the root
from which all derivatives of Mary
are evolved.
Quite early in history. it became
customary to give the name of Marie
to girls, adding a middle name to
qualify the attributes of the first Mary
the Blessed Virgin herself. In this
way. several daughters of family
could be called by the name of Marie
or Maria and yet they could be dis
tinguished by their second appellation
The earliest of these names was that
of Maria Annunziata, very popular in
Spain, and later changed to Maria An
nonciada. In France, one Of the most
popular feminine names was Marie
Annonciade; another was Marie AS
sunta. France also had Marie des
Anges (Marie of the angels) and in
Spain. the votaress of the merciful
interceding patroness (the Blessed Vir-
gin) is Maria de Mercedes.
Marie de Dolores Marie of Sor-
TOws) and Marie del Incarnation are
other examples Of the popular trend
which helped to spread the name of
Marie. Many young ladies' in Spain
are still christened Maria de la Con-
cepcion, but in Italy. this is contracted
to the one word Concetta. England
and America use Marie alone and also
favor Molly, the dlminutive and en-
dearment. Indeed, In England, Molly
Is frequently given in baptism as a
proper name with no reference to its
more dignified parent.
Maries talismanic stone is jasper.
the deep green gem which is proof
against evil spirits and bites of ven
pmous creatures. If placed upon a
snake bite. it Is said to draw the
poison from the wound. It will also
bring rain If prayers are made while
wearing the stone. Friday Is Marie's
lucky day and one her lucky number.
