NAMES FOR GIRLS
And What They Mean.

NOLANTE is 1t very musical name
i and one which is comparatively
uncommon. In thcse days one thinks
Of princesses in fairy tales. who have
gorgeous long braidS of golden hair,
as possibly having this name. but
one would hardly think of 1t as ap-
propriate for fiapper of the present
day. The name is a continental YER
sion Of the better knowl Viola. which
is used in both France and England.
The name is generally considered as
meaning zone who owns land.
Yolante is very popular as name
for girls in northern Italy and Spain
A very attractive version of 1t is the
name Vioiante. which is used in
southern France, especially among
families of the old nobility. Many
daughters of former ruling families,
women of imperious character and in
born nobility, have had this name.
There Is a quaint custom of giving
golden violets to girls who won the
prize in the love courts of the olden
days, and thus the name Nfolante, or
Yolante. was reserved for those of
high station or accomplishments. The
emblem for folante and her motto Is
Love Of truth and innocence"
OF the many characters in fiction
and history who have borne the better
known form of the name. Viola.
Shakespeare's Viola, the spirited hero
inc Of Twelfth Night" Is undoubted-
ly the best known. Fletchers Cox
comb also tells the story OF an In
reresting Viola.
For famous Yolantes it is necessary
to read the French and Italian liter
ary masters. The most popular mod
ern Yolante Is Princess Yolante. the
eldest princess Of the Italian kingdom,
who is said to be one of the loveliest
young girls among European royalty.
