whats in a Name?"
By MILDRED MARSHALL
Facts about your name; ,shistory; mean
ing; whence Il was derived; significance;
your lucky day and lucky Jewel


CURIOUSLY enough, Ida and Ada
~ are practically synonymous, ac-
cording to etymologists. Certainly the
names were used INTERCHANGEABLE. In
early times, Ada was thought to be
an entirely separate entity and was
believed to be derived from Adah,
meaning ornament, and the name Adah
was given to the wife of Lamech In
the Old Testament. But later etymo-
logical authorities believe that Ada Is
merely latinlzed form Of Fad, meuH-
Ing happy or rich, and the same as the
German Ida.
Ida originates from Frau Uote, moth
er OF Frlemhild, who interpreted her
dream and predicted the death of her
bridegroom, Ortwin VI Metz. A num-
Der Of feminine names came from UOte
or Uta. and finally the name Adur was
evolved. Audur was a viking daugh-
ter, one of the first Icelandic settlers.
In England, under Norman rule, there
appeared Auda and Aida, the latter
the wife Of Orlando the Paladln. An
other Aida was queen Of Italy In
92G and still another famous bearer
of the name was daughter Of the
house Of Este in 1893. High German
called the name 0da, but low German
made 1t Fad, and from this latter Ide
and Idette were evolved, both of which
became enormously popular.
Ida was the name given to the
granddaughter OF King Stephen, who
became the Countess of Boulogne. Both
Ida and Ada, the simplest terms possible
of any feminine name, have been the
basis of a number Of other more In.
volved derivatives. Some seem hardly
recognizable, as In the case of 0thilie,
a name still very popular in Teutonic
The Original 0thilie was
ali Alsatlan virgin who was born blind
but obtained her sight at baptism.
Idas gem Is the turquoise, which
promises her protection from accident
or sudden death. Like malachlte, It
Is said to break as warning Of ap-
danger. To wear 1t lnsures
good fortune and nothing Is so con-
duclve to good buck as to see the new
moon reflected In Its depths. Tues
day Is Ida's lucky day and seven her
lucky number.

HOW DO YOU SAY IT?
By c. N. LURE
Common Errors in English and
How to Avoid Them
THESE SORT" THOSE KIND"

A COMMON error and one that
1 \ CRATES with especial harshness
on the ear of person who has been
trained in the correct use of English
is the use of such phrases MS those
kind and these sort" How often
We hear, 81 cannot bear those kind of
people"
THE words these" and those" are
plural in number-that is, they denote
more thnn one The words sort"
kind, etc. are singular in number,
indicating one group, one class of per-
sons or objects. According to sim.
pie rule of grammar the adjective
and The noun when used together.
must agree in numbcr-that is. when
the noun is singular or plural the adj.
jectiyc must be singular or plural
Therefore do not say, 81 do not like
those kind Of people" but say IL do
not like that kind of people" or. bet
ter Il do not like people Of that kind"

RAlNl-DAY SURPRISE


TT WAS raining in torrents outside
L ana little Marietta sat curled up
on the window seat with her nose
pressed against the pane. Now Mari
etta was very cross. for the old rain
mad spoiled the garden party She had
planned this afternoon with her dolls
Splash Splash came the ralndrops
chasing one another down the glass,
and Marietta, whose eyes were sadly
watching them, thought there was
nothing in the world as ugly as the
little round drops. They came down,
oh, so steadily, and Marietta was be-
ginning to feel very drowsy when sud.
denly an extra hard gust Of wind

drove the randrops sharply at The
window.
Listen to me-" cried shril little
voice from the pane.
Marietta looked up quickly. GLOW
queer she said, there is nothing but
these old rnindrops in sight"
I'VE are not Old" said the voice.
IF you look very hard you can see
for yourself"
Then Marietta saw that each little
drop was a tiny, tiny water sprite in
a beautiful shining dress which
changed color as it rolled down the
wlndowpane.
I'VE felt so sorry about spelling
your party that our queen said we
might tell you about us continued
the sprite.
"Who is your queen, and where does
she live" asked Marietta.
The raindrop answered proudly:
"She Is the queen of all the rain
sprtes and lives In wonderful silver
palace behind the clouds and is al
ways doing good in the world"
well, why did she spoil my party
by sending you down here tOday?"
said Marietta in grieved tone.
THAT is just what we wanted to
tell you about" broke In the raindrop.
but we had to shout and shout before
you would listen. Our queen watches
over the trees, flowers and grass and
every growing thing, and when she
sees they need water to drink she calls

fore, SO we may rest before filling our
silver water buckets"

say the Legion officials. The Legion
has been instrumental In obtaining
work for veterans, in dlscouraging the
migration of unemployed men to-
ward the great industrial centers and
has encouraged a movement from cit

that workers who left their positions
to go to war should enjoy seniority

she was SO interested about this
strange cloudland.

"The queens palace is surrounded by
wonderful gardens and there are foun-

tiny drops Of color

eta. II wish could see them
"Why, you foolish child, you do see
them every time our queen has a res
tival. When we do our work extra
well she rewards us by letting us
watch the half-clrcle of fountains.
First comes red, then orange, yellow,
green and blue, each shading into the
other"
"Why, that Is our rainbow" inter
rupted Marietta, delightedly.
"Of course II Isl" laughed the rain
drop. "Our queen Is very generous
and always draws aside the cloud cur

can see the lovely eolors in the sky.
