BERTHA
BY MILDRED MARSHALL

BERTHA, signifying bright has an
extraordinary ecclesiastical fla.
vor. In old German chronicles the
feast of Theophania is translated by a
word meaning frightened night, and
the root of that word is 'perahta." How
perahta, or berahta, became an indi-
yidual character is too involved for
space here, but it is sufficient to say
that Perahta, or Bertha, was a sacred
being, called, in an old Alsatlan poem.
the mild Berchte, In whose honor all
young farmers dance, ring cattle bells
and blow whistles throughout the night
of the feast.
She is pictured as an old, white
haired woman, with long nose, who
creeps into nurseries and comforts lit
tie children neglected by their nurses.
In other stories, she is used as a figure
Of terror TO brighten children and is
the avenger of idle spiDners. Frau
Bertha is undoubtedly the impersona-
ton of the Epiphany, though there is
an effort 10 connect her with the old
mythical Huldr. and other etymologists
believe her to be another name for the
Goddess Freya, wife of Odin.
One of the most famous Berthas was
the wife of Pepin and mother of
Charlemagne, known as Bertha aux
grands pieds.' Another Bertha of his
torical fame was her daughter, sister
of Charlemagne and wife of Orlando,
who, being in great want, supported
herself spinning until her son won rec
ognition from his powerful uncle.
Because of Queen Bertha of SwitZer-
land. the name has always been very
popular there. 1t has also had great
vogue in England since the Norman
conquest. and even before that time 1t
was in use. having named the daugh-
ter of Chilperjc, king of Paris, and
wife of Ethelbert of Kent, who
smoothed the way for st. Aguustine's
mission. It is used quite commonly in
France and Germany, and in Dante's
time was so frequent. in Italy that he

gave it additional vogue in England by
so-calIing one of his heroines, and it
even penetrated Greece by the mar
rage of a Cc-.aan princess OF that

MIR. FOX WAS so SICK

MR. FOX thought that he would
try singing To Miss Henry
Plump 10 see if he could not entice
her TO come out one night as the door
of her house was locked and he could
not get in.
You can come out through the
window that is open over my head
said Mr.. Fox, looking up with longing
eyes at Miss Henry through small
crack in the wall of the poultry
house.
You need not be afraid, my dear
Miss Henry" said Mr. Fox, Il will be
right here to catch you if you fan"
And if Idon't fail you will catch
me. too, Mr.. Fox" said Miss Henry.
Il wonder if she suspects my plan? ?"
thought Mr.. Fox, but he did not ask.
Instead he said. Il will sing for you

flying UP to the window, then yon win

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
"6UxOKi"

MAYHEM Milton, in paradise
. Lost" speaks of "winging
silently the buxom air" it Is at
once apparent that the word
'buxom" must have had some
meaning at that time different
from the currently accepted one
of rosy and plump. We might
refer to a strong healthy woman
as buXom, but we would never
apply the adjective to the air.
In Millions time, however, the
word had just changed its spell
ing from "boughsome," a form
which gives a clue to it's primary
meaning of yielding or bending
like the boughs of tree.
'Buxom," to Milton. was prac-
tically the equivalent of our
present-day "pliant." The first
change, merely one of form.
came when the "gh" began to
lose its cultural sound and
ough was ellded into the sim
gle letter "x.' Then, after the
lapse Of number of years. a
gradual alteration of the word
began TO take place, probably
due, as Doctor Johnson suggests.
TO too liberal construction Of
the brides promise in the old
English marriage ceremony TO be
"obedient and buxom Cor yield
ing) in bed and in board" In
time, therefore, it came to be
applied TO full-blooded women
who were enormously thought
likely to be careless of virtue.
Hence it now means plump.
rosy, alluring, and is applied only
to women who combine these
qualities of figure, face and ex-
preston.

 tc attend the first perforomance of his first play. Mrs. Conrad did the family honors, while Conrad sat in the smokeroom of his hotel and poured out clouds of smoke. He awaited the verdict of the critics on "The Secret Agent" The verdict was kindly, but not too fullsome; some of the critics admitted that they felt Conrad's ef- forts would be better if directed to literature rather than the drama. Doesn' Like Theater
 Conrad himself admits that he
 doesn't like the theater, and he is not enthusiastic about the work of a
 playwright. In fact, he hints that 1t is his belief that "The Secret Agent
 was spoiled when he made it into a
 play from a book, at least he says
 that it meant "cutting all the flesh off the book" Playwriting, he says,
 lis an exercise in ingenuity"
 The author showed little interest
 in the rehearsals of his play, although
 he did go occasionally to the theater, the first time in many years. T am prose writer" he would say, with a
 wave of his hand, when the producers
 suggested that he interested himself in changes in the drama. His inter est was aroused, however, when he
 saw the dress rehearsal. But it was
 not the lines of the play that aroused
 him, nor the acting. It was an old type of sailor cap worn by one of the actors. q must have that hat; l
 haven't seen one for years, not since l
 myself wore one at sea-" Conrad said. He has the hat and doesn't seem to
 care whether the play thrives without 1t or not. 5f

tongue to become a writer of most beautiful English. It was suggested to the author that perhaps univer- sal language might aid in bringing about community of nations.
 T do not think that will ever be possible" said Conrad. T am cer- tainlv inclined to be afraid of any such experiment. There are so many shades of meaning in every language. Be- sides, I do not think that language is the biggest barrier between ma tions. And language must possess an individual genius.
 Cave Men Right
