Britain, spread his name throughout
Europe.
The first feminine Claudia, was the
daughter of British prince who sent
her greetings to st. Timothy in ST..
PauPs epistle. The masculine form,
Cladus, or Gladus, as it was sometimes
spelled, became popular in England
and was taken over by the Welsh, who
are responsible for the feminine
Gladys.
Gladys came to be considered the
equivalent for Claudia and as such was
reverenced, but her name never
achieved the popularity of it's equiva-
lent because of it's harsh sound.
Though recognized as Gladys it was
more often given in baptism as Clau-
Ola, or Claudio, as the French call it.
France rejected Gladys completely,
preferring the softer Claudine, and
Claude, while Italy and Spain chose
Claudia, leaving Gladys complete
ly to English use, whence it was
brought to America and allowed to
flourish unmolested and non-confused
by Claudia.

to Gladys. 1t is said to avert peril

wish will come true when she wears

The Right Thing
at the Right Time
By MARY MARSHALL DUFFEE

shaved. 1t is said that Caesar insisted
that his soldiers be closely shaved but
his reason for thus insisting was for
fear the Teutonic barbarians with
whom they fought would seize them by
their boards in combat If they neg
lected shaving too long. 1t is said that
one of the many reasons why the
Roman soldiers had such decided
advantage was that they had no boards
with which to be seized by their adver
saries.
1t has usually happened before this
that after a war boards came into
fashion, because the men in camp had
SO little opportunity for a daily shave
that they soon found it more con-
venient to raise boards which needed
little or no attention from the barber.
After the Civil war lads scarcely in
their twenties came back with long
boards, and naturally enough boards
became the fashion. At various times
in England long mustaches became the
fashion because they were affected by
military men. There was a time in
England when only officers were al
lowed to wear mustaches, so that
wearing a mustache was associated
with the possession of rank and dis
tinction and hence mustaches became
highly favored. AS soon as a private
left service he raised mustache just
because he had never been allowed to
do so before.
Among the ancient Hebrews and in
other countries in days GONG by the
beard has stood for virility and manli-
ness and man would have felt dis
honored if he had had to shave his
beard. In Syria and Egypt, 1t is
said that boards really served pur-
pose in protecting man from the
burning sand of the desert, so 1t was
indeed calamity to be deprived OF
this adornment.
