n ORN to queenly honors is she who
d bears the name Of Eugenia. It's
origin is in the Greek language where
it is derived from word meaning
well-born. Its modern adaptation by
the French into Eugene is famous
throughout the world since it is borne
f,v one of the most illustrious women
of history, the former Empress Eu-
genie. Its popularity in France is
enormous and its Anglicized version,
Eugenia, has great vogue in England
and America.
It's history dates back from Eu-
genes. a very old Greek writer, but
Eugenias was the name most popular
IN classical times. 1t was carried on
&C Eugenius by the Romans. ST. Eu-
oanius was a confessor and another
Euoenius was Bishop of Toledo 10
GAG Indeed, it has always been u
fovorite as a masculine name and has
heen borne by men of power and
rrominence. Eugenio was the name Of
that high-spirited Savoy called "le
petit Able du Roi," who was later the
prince Eugene, dear to England and
Austria and terrible to France and
Turkey, yet, curious to relate, foe that
he was, his name enjoys greater Dopu-
Iaritv in France than in his native
country.

not have time to conform to these
strict standards. In many commu-
mites married folk have few oppor-
tunities for going out together in the
evening congenial set of such folk
will occasionally meet for a dinner
party or evening of entertainment at
each others houses. If there are chill
dren at home and no maid or a maid
who takes it for granted that her eve
nings are her own, this means that
some one MIST be got to ''hold the
fort" while the mother and father are
away. With such people, though the
women of the circle managed to call
occasionally in the afternoon, there is
sort Of tacit agreement that party
calls will not be expected from the
men because the only time they can
pay these is in the evening, and when
they do go out in the evening they
like to have some more substantial
diversion than paying calls.
So also it happens that in large
cities where distances are great the
busy business ms takes a dislike to
going to q friends house when that
friend may not be at home to receive
his call. It means sometimes an hours
trip with a chance of only leaving a
card at the end. And, of course, no
one properly telephones ahead to warn
a hostess of a call.
The newcomer, however, always
makes a better impression if he does
pay the party cali and it should be
within ten days of the courtesy enter
tainment for which it is paid More
over, he should pay it whether or not
he has attended. If he has received
an actual stated invitation for a def
mite entertainment then the call is
due, but if the invitation has been
verbal and only indefinite then he
need not consider it as requiring a
call.
