|. NAMES FOR GIRLS
And What They Mean

uoRTENSE is a girls name with
an unusual meaning. The cor
rect Latin English form of the name
is Hortensia, and the name means
| literally "the little gardener" With
a meaning like this, 1t would seem a
matter Of extreme delicacy TO select
a special flower symbolical of Hor-
tensia. Probably because Of this the
clover, beloved by all gardeners, has
been chosen as her flower and Is sup
posed to bring unusual luck with it
and prosperity to the whole garden.
The sentiment for Hortense Is ex-
ceedingly appropriate. 1t is the quo
tation, "As is the gardener, SO is the
garden" s'--
There seem to be few variations to
! the name Hortense. The Italians
drop the III" Tensile is the most
common abbreviation of the name.
Hortense Manzini, the Duchess OF
Mazarin. is credited with having in
troduced the name into England She
is said to have been the most beauti-
full and wealthy heiress of Europe in
her day and was a niece of Cardinal
Mazarin. King Charles II of England
was very fond of the charming duch-
ess and gave her many privileges and
favors. After his death, however,
size got into careless and bad habits
and even became a drunkard
Dickens Bleak House" has a char
acter named Hortense, the French
maid to Lady Dedlock. She is an &C.
centric, person and is described as
looking like a very neat she wolf
imperfectly tanned" She partly
guesses her lady's secret and shoots

pears. defiant, in the custody Of the
inspector.
The most famous of all women of
history named Hortense was Hor-
tense Eugenia Beauharnais, daughter
of Alexandra Beauharnais and Jose-
phine. She was born in Paris April
10. 1888. and died at Arenberg. Switz-
erland October 3, 1887. She was en-
gagged to be married to Desaix, but, In
compliance with wish expressed by
Napoleon. she married the emperor s
younger brother Louis on January q
1902. Louis alsoh ad a previous At
tachment which he gave up for thfS

was not a happy one. HortenSA re-

II Is generally known by the lay
man that great distances have been
reached by radio which naturally
causes him to wonder why II Is neces-
sary to employ the use of telephone
wires from New York city. This is
explained by the engineers who point
out that, although 1t Is possible to
| reach distant points at times with
considerable success. the program ie
usually interrupted by weird noises
called static" or atmosDheric infor-
ference. The greater the distance be-
tween the receiving set and the

one must encounter. 1t therefore fol-
lows, the engineers explain. that by
transmitting the tone by wire with
out the static TO q point nearer the

comes audible and clear.
