MILDRED

| MILDRED is something of holy
AVA name, since it has heritage
closely associated with religious
orders. Though said to be Of Teutonic
origin, it was exclusively Saxon in its
early use; indeed it may be said to
be almost Mercian, since it's first ap-
pearance was in the family Of King
Merowald.
Mild was Saxon word meaning
"mild", and by the addition of "thyth''
another Saxon term signifying "com-
mand", the feminine name Mildthyth
was formed. Because it was trans
| lated to mean mild speech" it was
much used as name for gentle dam
sells with religious inclinations.
King Merowald lad three daughters
whom he named Mildgyth Mildburgh,
and Mildthyth-thus employing all
versions of the name then in use. All
three became nuns of a holy order.
| The two latter were later ADDRESSES,
one in Shropshire, the other in the Isle
Of Thaner They were finally can
onized in recognition of their sanity
lives, as Mildburgh and Mildreda.
Thus Mildred, Mildrid, or Mildreda
(as you prefer came into existence
and straightway won great popularity
in Shropshire and, later, throughout
all England. Germany adopted Mil
bred, but it has never had definite
vogue there in spite Of it's supposed
Teutonic origin. The consonants were
too harsh for France and Spain,
though the latter occasionally en-
ploys Mildreda, accenting only the
vowels in the soft Latin manner.
Mildred was the name given to the
famous daughter of Burleigh and
through her, it's place among English
maids was forever assured. Recently
it was revived to even greater vogue
in England and America and etymolo-
gists claim that the record Of babies
christened by that name in late years,

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
BOARD"

TIME resources of a language
1 for the expression of thought
are frequently increased by at
tributing to the same word a
number of different meanings.
Thus we have post from the
Latin pono, Il place. showing
up in such words as postage"
'post-haste," 'post-office" and
the like, while "head" and
court" are others of the same
type. But, of all these, the
most interesting is board. orig
inally connected with "brcad"
and applied to that form of
timber which is characterized by
its breadth rather than its
thickness.
Several boards manifestly go
to make up a table but, in the
old days, a single plank, rather
fimsily supported, was sufficient
for this purpose. We, therefore,
have the use Of the word in the
sense. of the table itself-the
festive board also the
meals, BOARD and lodging" The
significance Of the table is also
apparent in the use of the word
in such titles as Board of Trade,
Board of Commerce and the like
all of these bodies meeting
around or sitting beside a table.
Again, "board" is specifically
used to denote the plank cover
ing of vessel, and in this
sense, gives rise to a new group
of phrases, of which aboard"
and "above-board'' are typical.
The paper-maker, too, has his
technical uses for the term. To
him it signifies the stiffest and
thickest-the most board-like-
of his products, and 'card-
board is the result.
