NAMES FOR GIRLS
And What They Mean

JOSEPHINE is the feminine for
- Joseph, which, in turn. IS said 10
y. derived from the Hebrew word
meaning "addition.' The first Joseph
Of special note was the husband of
tho Virgin Mary. mother of Jesus,
the Christ. The feminine name, how
ever did not achieve great popularity
until after the Pope fixed the festival
day for Josepll carly in the seven
teenIh century.
The flower for Josephine is the
ho..nleam, and tn" sentiment is said
to lie ornament" perhaps, suggest
Cd by the fact that girls OF this name
should feel inclined to add to their
natural charms with jc.welry or
bright clothes.
Josephine has always been a pop
ular name with the English, French
and German people, all OF whom spell
the n2me in this fashion. 10 and
Joey are nicknames. The Spanish
and Portuguese us, .Iosefa, and have
pepita. The Italians use Giuseppe
or Gioseffa. with the diminutives Jep
ia and Beppa. The Austrian form Of
Josephine is Peppf.
In spite of the fact that the name
is so popular. there are few great
women i'll history and fiction who
. bore this name. Marie Antoinette
had a sister Marie Josefa, and the
Josephine of all time will always be
Marie Josephe Rose, daughter OF a
creole landed proprietor. and the first
wife Of Napoleon.
Josephine's father was also Il
French officer of Martinique. When
she was only sixteen years old sho
was married to Viscoupt Bcauharnais,
N 1879. She had two children, Eu-
gene and Hortense. In 1894 her hus-
band, who had been commander of
the army. Of the Rhine, was guillo-
tined by order of the convention.
Josephine herself had Il very narrow
escape. Her name had even been in
cluded in the list for prescription. 1t
was after the fall of Robespierre that
she paid visit to Napoleon to thank
him for restoring her husbands
sword, and she Interested the little
General" so much that he soon after
married her. When he became en-
peror. in 1904. she, too. was crowned,
but in 1909 he divorced her, and she
retired to Malmaison with the title
Of empress-queen-do -dowager and an an
rual grant of 100000 francs.
The Empress Josephine was very
beautiful and possessed much tact and
common sense, too. Even after his
second marriage Napoleon is said to
have kept constantly in touch with
Josephine and to have treated her two
children by her former marriage as
though they had been his own.
Josephine died May 90, 1914.

Pompeian Bloom m-Orange Tint
Is Very Popular!

EVERYONE knows that women
IL always look more charming,
more youthful, when their cheeks
have a touch of color. And, too,
little color in the cheeks imparts
sparkle and new beauty to the eyes.
So it has become the habit ofwomen
to use rouge as regularly as they use
their powder.
Pompeian Bloom is a compact
rouge made in all the shades required
by the different types of women. Iti is
absolutely harmless and will not
crumble, yet it comes off easily on
your puff for application. Pompeian
Bloom is in dainty gilt box, with a
rouge puff, and mirror top.
Try the fashionable Orange tint in
Pompeian Bloom. Blends best with
Naturelle or Rachel powder
To obtain instant beauty use the
preparations of the Pompeian Quar-
tet in the following order:
Pompeian Day Cream is vanish
ing cream to be used as foundation
for powder and rouge. 1t softens the
skin, and protects it against sun and

Forecast,ng Ioar
Winter CompAexion
By MHK. IEAssErTK

a little foresight now will lay the iounda-
ton for the health and beauty of your
skin during the trying days Of winter.
1t is during this month that every
woman should form the habit OF careful
daily attention to her skin-her face,
neck, shoulders, arms, and hanGs.
Don't Let YoHr SKIN Gft D,y
After the many hours Of out-of-door
life that always come with summer, every
woman's skin tends toward an unhealthy
dryness. Pompeian Night Cream is the
exact cream TO use at this time. 1t has
every property necessary to counteract
dryness. 1t is a direct agent for sanitary
, cleansing, and it snooths and softens the
dry tissue OF the skin Till the pores again
have chance to breathe.
| would advise generous application
of Pompeian Night Cream as unfailingly
as you go to bed at night.
Rub the cream well over the surface,
but do not attempt to rub hard; it is better
and easier to pat the cream gently into the
skin. Strike the surface covered with
cream by using the fiat of the fingers
quick little blows, and continue till at
least some OF the cream has disappeared.
Use soft cloths to wipe away the re-
naming traces of the cream, and what
ever may remain will soften the skin
during your hours of sleep.
Morning Losslines
The first thing in the morning the skin
may be asleep" and there is nothing
more helpful to arouse circulation than
wholesome splashing of cold water.
Pat the face dry with your towel, or
your bare hands if you prefer.
When you apply Pompeian Day Cream
take care to spread it on all parts of the
skin, and to blend it smoothly till it dis
appears.
POuasr and Rouge
The Pompeian Beauty Powder should
cover the neck and face with even thick
ness so you will not have face OF one
tone and neck ofanother.
Pompeian Bloom (the rouge comes in
a convenient compact that rubS off easily
forus and stays on well for the user. The
new Orange tint is surprisingly natural,
especially when used with the Naturelle
or Rachel tints of Beauty Powder.
POmtsian Lip Stick
This final touch is essential with the
rose-petal cheeks-and its color is natural
and healthy looking.

Pompeian Beauty Powder goes on
evenly over this foundation, and will
adhere for an exceptionally long
time. The Beauty Powder is soft and
fine, and comes in the following tints:
Naturelle, Rachel, Flesh, and White
After applying the powder, use
Pompeian Bloom, blending it we'll
with the powder to obtain a natural
looking flush. Select the shade most
appropriate to your natural coloring.
Pompeian Bloom comes in Light,
Medium and Dark rose tints, as we'll
as in the fashionable Orange tint. :
The fourth step in the Pompeian
Quartet is the use of the Pompeian
Lip Stick. It's chisel point makes it
easy to accent the curves of the lips,
and its color is so genuine that it's
use cannot be detected.
