ALICIA.

IT. HIS name is derived from the
same root as Alice, and repre-
sents an attempt at greater euphony.
The curious part of 1t is that the
name. In its original form, is really
not that of woman at ALL but of
man. Ii is derived from the Anglo
Saxon Adelgis of which the feminine
form was Adelgisa. but was not fire.

principally among the nobility. The
name itself means noble. in both its
masculine and feminine forms.
The name is purely English, having.
however. slight Teutonic flavor. An
argument is put forward by some ex-
perts that the name is derived from
the Frankish Adalhert on Adeichen.

LombardE was naturalized in England
when AIix la Belle married Henry l.
The name originally masculine. ac-
cording to the best authorities, how

gisa, making the proper feminine form
Aliza. Some believe that Eliza, gen
orally believed TO be derivative of
Elizabeth is this missing form. For
proof of Aliza as the representative Of
Adelgisa, the Liber Vitas of Durham
records the changes in Adelgisa from
the first noble lady of that name. who
laid her gifts upon the altar. BY con-
traction it became Adeliza and Aliza.

Russians believe it brings great good

ID ECENTLY at a silver wedding
IN anniversary OF a prominent New
Yorker the invitations, which were
engraved i'm silver. contained these
words at one side: 1.-The demands of
war relief are pressing. We hope for
your presence-not presents-at our
silver wedding anniversary" Among
the guests present at this anniversary
reception were scores of New York s
most noted society folk, the very
people whom we usually look to for
leadership in such matters OF social
usage. SO If you are looking for a
precedent in adding 10 your invita-
tions for anniversary receptions or
other occasions when presents might
be expected some indication of the
fact that you would prefer not to
have them, here ii is.
The fact is that often people re-
frain from having wedding anniver-
sary parties for the simple reason
that they hesitate TO send invitations
that will make the recipients feel that
they are obliged TO make some sort
of present. When this is for a tin
or wooden wedding the obligation Is
trifiing. but when il is for a silver
or golden wedding then there is more
cause for this hesitancy.
Usually any anniversary for any
thing less than a silver wedding takes
the form of party only for ones inti-
mate friends. But when one has been
married twenty-five years then there
is real occasion for large reception.
This may he in the afternoon or eve
ming. For the afternoon affair the hours
on the invitation cards would usually
he frem three 10 six. though guests
seldom do arrive before half past three
or four and many late comers linger
after the six o'clock hour. No guest.
however. would arrive after the last
hour mentioned on the card.

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
"BLleHTY."

THE number of slang words
i and phrases which have
slipped into the language by rea-
son of the Babel which resulted
when men of many nations gath
cred in the great melting pot of
the allied army is long oner
but one of the most typical Is
"blighty'-the English colo
quial equivalent for 'home."
Prior TO the commencement
of the recent great World war
the majority of the British army
was stationed in India and
much of their slang consisted
of words and phrases adapted
from the language of the ma
tives. "Belait" is a common In
dian name for England, and. as
if TO add another parent to the
ancestral tree of "blighty," the
inhabitants of Hindustan speak
of ''home" as "bhilati." The
similarity of the two express
sions naturally impressed the
British soldier. and ii was not
long before he corrupted them
into "blighty'-using ii as a
noun when he referred TO his
native soil and as an adjective
when he wanted to express
something connected with his
return. A "blighty wound.
therefore, meant an injury Sc
rious enough to necessitate be-
ing sent back home to England.
While the word failed TO gain
great popularity among the
American soldiers, it appeared
with eonsideraIke frequency in
stories and reports from the
front and will doubtless be used
+, far more widely than before.
