NAMES FOR GIRLS
And What They Mean

GRACE is a charming and euphoni-
NJ Gus name 1t has no ugly vari-
ations. Its only possible nickname is
Oracle. which. while Il bit insipid. is
certainly not objectionable. Grace is
directly derived from the old Latin
"Giratia." which means beloved or
favored by God. The motto for Grace
is kindness and mercy" and her
flower is the lily of the valley. which
is undoubtedly one Of the most grace
full OF all blossoms.
Grace is word in itself that stands
for everything with charm comeli-
ness. and even real beauty. The name
Is derived from the common name
given the three sister goddesses who
were attendants of Venus and known
since the days OF mythology as the
three Graces." The individual names
generally given the members of this
group are EuphroSynr. Aglaia and
Thalia: They were the pcrSonitica
tionS of grace and beauty in classical
mythology and were supposed to he
the daughters of Zeus by Hcra. Some
authorities differ on this question.

daughter of William Darling. keeper
OF the Longstone lighthouse. She
was born at scarborough. England.
November a. 1915, and the event
which made her famous took place
September :. 1888. The steamer For
farshIre was wrecked near the light
house. and at daylight Mr.. Darling
saw this wreck from Longstone, but.
accustomed as he was to scenes of
danger. he shrank from attempting to
reach the steamer through the Seeth-
ing sea in small boat.
Grace Darling. however. thought
only of the many sufferers, whom she
could see through the glass clinging
desperately to the wreck. She urged
her father TO try to rescue them and
finally won his consent to make what
appeared to be hopeless attempt.
Together father and daughter made
their way in small boat to the
wreck and found nine Of the suffer
ers. whom they succeeded in bringing
to the lighthouse in safety. The news
of this heroic deed spread abroad and
$500 was subscribed in general rec
ognition of her bravery and was pre-
scented to Grace Darling.
