NAMES FOR GIRLS
And What They Mean

NNE of the most ambitious of
" names for girls is Helen, which
means radiantly beautiful and
therefore is terrible name for any
girl to hope to live up to who isn't
just naturally blessed with the marvel
Gus beauty of the greatest of He1ens
Helen of Troy. who was considered
the personification of all feminine
loveliness in the dream of Faust and
Of whom were written the immortal
lines:
Was this the face that launched a thousand
ships.
And burnt the topless towers Of Ilium!
oh. thou art fairer than the evening air,
Clad in the beauty Of thousand stars.
If, however, the owner of the name
feels that the responsibility Of living
up to it is greater than she can bear
she can always use one of the less
ambitious diminutives. such as Nellie

Several outstanding girls of his
tory, remarkable for spirited wit and
practical talents, have been called
Nell. Nell Gwynne, the Du Barry of
Charles II, was undoubtedly the out
standing beauty and wit among the
women Of her period. r.
Besides the greatest Helen, daugh-
ter of Jupiter and Leda, who was
thoughtless enough to cause the
Trojan war by running away from
her husband, Menelaos, king Of
sparta, with Paris, a beautiful prince,
there was another Helen who was
responsible for war. This was Helen

contract the apparent size of the

thing else in the room, and the wall
becomes an insistent center of in

place-the background.
There is at present a decided re-
