however, N negotiations with the Navy

BEATRICE

SCORES of lovely women have an
~ swered to the name of Beatrice. 1t
comes from the old verb beO meaning
to make happy or bless, but because
the Beatrices of history have invari-
ably been extraordinarily beautiful
does not signify that they have been
happy, nor that their loneliness has
given pleasure to beholders, for some
of them have been the wickedest wom-
en- of their time and brought suffer
ing and destruction wherever they
went. SO it seems rather curious that
the name should have such an auspi-
cious and indeed ecclesiastical begin
ming.
The church first used the word beo
to apply to her departed members who
were gathered together somewhere on
the Isle of the Blest, and in time it
was bestowed on living members.
There was even a st. Beatus of Beat,
who was an anchorite near Vendome
in the Fifth century. The original
Beatrice, called then Beatrix, is said
TO have been borne by Christian
maiden who in Diocletian's persecu-
ton drew the murdered bodies of her
brothers from the Tiber and buried
them. She afterward shared their
fate and her relies were enshrined in
a church In Rome.
But lovely and estimable as this
maiden was, 1t is not she who is re-
membered so wildly as the exquisite

youth, whom he immOrtalized in verse
and who represents, with him, one Of
the famous loves of history. Dante
has set standard for feminine beau
ty in all subsequent Beatrices when
he says:
One charm remark, peculiarly hers
An elegance unmatched with modesty
combined;
and would you see it in a living proof.
Says Thought to me-, attend well to
thy mind,
When, with lady elegant and fair
Harmoniously conjoined, she moves
along;
Then as the brilliant stars seem chased
away
By greater brightness of the advancing
So vanish other charms when hers are
viewed"
Unfortunately for the world, the
habits of virtue and Of loyalty" of
which Dante also sings are not to be
found in some of the Beatrices of
early centuries. Beatrice de Cenci,
for instance, had "a heart as black as
her face was lovely.
The French have adopted Beatrix
and added to 1t Benoite, deriving the
latter from benus, an adjective taken
from the same beo and meaning good.
From the same source comes the ItaI-
ian Benditta, Beta, and Bettina,
which Is usually and enormously con-
sidered a diminutive Of Elizabeth.

Ask Release of political Prisoners"

NIFTY bishops of the Protestant
L Episcopal church have joined
Bishop Charles III. Brent, formerly
chief of the chaplain service, A. E. f.,
in asking the President for the release
of all political prisoners" now serving
sentences. Bishop Brent's reasons for
advocating amnesty which the other
bishops indorse are:
1.-THE nations with whom we were
associated in the war all promptly
granted an amnesty to their political
prisoners
II am assured by competent law
yers who have examined the evidence
in the case that these men are in pris-
on solely for expression of opinion in
writing or speech.
This is a fitting moment in which

ty as an act of delayed justice.

that such course would meet with

iority of our citizens"
