Greek tragedy, "Antigone." and has
received encouragement from college
professors as well as dramatic critics
on this phase OF her undertaking.

NAMES FOR GIRLS
And What They Mean

EDITH is q girls name that is dis
II tinctly Anglo-Saxon In its origin and
has not been taken and revised by other
nationaIities. The first syllable. Ed, is
said 70 mean wealth, and the second
syllable, 18th" to mean fighter. Which
would indicate that Ediths should be
ambitious for material success and
willing to work hard to achieve It.
The emblem for Edith is the bridal
rose and her sentiment, TOO low they
build, who build beneath the stars"
Edith is generally believed to be the
feminine version Of Edward and both
names are found in many references to
the oldest of the British royalty.
Ancient forms of Edith are AeIgifu.
Eadswith, Eadgifu and Eadgyth. At the
time Of the Norman conquest other
spellings of Edith that became popular
were much prettier than the older ones.
They included Egitha, Eddeva, Eddid
and Edeva. 4 sister Of Queen Edith Of
Norway did carry the name to Den
mark and made Il popular there as
Gjutha.
One Of the first English Ediths Of
whom record has been made is the

she procured the election of Edward the
death of Harthcnut. AS reward. Ed

Edith, who received Winchester and
Exeter as a gift:
Even earlier than this Edith was
Eadburg, an Anglo Saxon lady who ac-
cir q huShan

made her an abbess. but she died un-
happily as q street beggar.
Another Edith who was excessively
ambitious was Edith Of Hordaland.

the hand of Harold the fair-haired,

himself absolute ruler Of that land.
In order TO secure this naughty dam

King Harold was the son of Halfdan
the Black, and by doing away with
so many petty kingships in his do

by his father during his reign.
