NAMES FOR GIRLS
And What They Mean

MATILDA and Maud are two names
1Nl which are comparatively rare
among the girls Of today but which
are still popular in some countries.
notably England. They are both
pretty and Tillie, the diminutive for
Matilda, was used a good deal among
the Pennsylvania Dutch folk. 1t was
the name of the heroine of '-Tillie, a
Mennonite Maid story OF these
people which was very popular a few
years ago
Both Matilda and Maud are deriva-
tions of "Mahaulta." a Flemish name
battle" Many Matildas have been
warrior queens. too, and thus carried
out the full meaning of their names.
Oddly enough, both the symbol and
sentiment for Matilda, which is the
older of the two names. are very
peaceful and quiet; the first is rose
mary and the second, sweet remem-
brance."
The. first Matilda in England was the
wife of William the Conquerer She
died in Normandy in 1853. She had
the distinction of being the first royal
Matilda crowned in England and re-
ceived that honor in Westminster
Abbey in 1867.
The first wife of Henry + of Eng
land was Queen Maud, who was bap-
tiZed Edith but was always called
Maud. She was noted as the founder
of the first Austin priory in Eng.
land in 110S.
Matilda, wife of Stephen who
seized the English crown in 1135.
personally led troops on the field in
the invasion and, after her husband 8
imprisonment, she aided Gen. Will
liam of Ypres, who had military
charge fthe forces, in actually driv-
ing the former empress from London.
In 114S, she founded the hospital of
St. Katherine by the Tower.
Many other Matildas and Mauds
were rulers. Among them were
Matilda, Countess of Tuscany; NATL
da, Duchess of Saxony. who married
Henry the Lion, cousin of the ia
nous Frederick Rarbarossa; and Ma
tilda of Portugal, wife of Count
Phil of Flanders.
Maud has been a very popular
name for heroines of poetry Par
ticularly famous are Maud Muller
by Whittier and the poem by Drayton,
addressed to Lady Maud Fitzwalter.
Maud is the name of the heroine in
Rossinfs opera, wilhelm Tell. and
Matilda was the name of the Wife of

Czech Children Seen
In American Art Work

TT Is interesting to find that OF the
chorus OF thirty-six Czechosova-
khan children in the famous Bakule
Chorus of Prague. which will come TO
Washington April is. twenty-nine are
little girls. 1t has become a custom to
take groups of boys in travelling
choruses. but not so frequently have
girls formed such large proportion of
the personnel of such an organization.
The accompanying picture. painted by
the American artist. Milo Upjohn,
whose skill in painting children is SO
asked her to travel in many countries
and paint pictures of children on their
native heath, emphasizes the complete
ness Of the part that music plays in the
vakia. Miss Upjohn painted this pic
ture from life in the midst of Slo-
vakian forest. She tells, in the Junior
Red Cross News, of the circumstances
surrounding her getting this picture:
THE Boy took out little flute and
into snatches Of song from time to time.
The thin, high music had the sigh of
the wind in it and the bleat Of lambs
and tinkle of brooks over stones. This
was only part of the hymn which the
forest sings and which the Slovaks love
TO hear"
The people Of this country have al
ways been musical and handed down
their rich melodies from generation to
generation. Their folk songs describe
the humor and pathos of their every
day life. The young girls at work
about the house have grown up with
their familiar strains in their ears and
sing as, naturally as birds. Instead Of
school yells. the Czech girls and boys
sing.
a Vassar student who is Czech girl
has said that. it Is the way in which
the Czech girls and boys sing, and not
the fact that they possess clear voices
and ane sense of rhythm, that is mar
Vicious and distinctive Of her country.

Girls and women have always been
acknowledged leaders in the progress

In sculpture and painting they
have been the inspiration as models

fame in history and literature
rather than as artists themselves
with the exception of the last cen
fury or two, and in music also. they
have more frequently been named as
the inspiration rather than the COM
posers of great themes.
Yet it has always been the woman

of the simple folk songs and mel

ME exhibition of paintings by
Emil Carlson, which opened
Tuesday in the Corcorarf GAL

INHE exhibition of paintings by
Emil Carlson, which opened
Tuesday in the Corcorarf Gal
lery of Art. is of notable in
terest and Importance. Mr.. Carlson
is one of the prominent figures in
American art today, and he Is one
of those, 1t is reasonable to believe,
whose reputation will increase as the
years pass. His pictures are not
merely fieeting impressions, nor are
they simply brilliant achievements,
displaying cleverness~and power on
the part of the painter; each is a
complete work Of art, seriously stud
led, faithfully set forth, ,exquisitely
finished
1t is claimed by critics that his
work is primarily interpretative, and
1t Is true. His own sensitive dis
cernment discovers that which is
beautiful In objects or scenes which
might, TO the casual observer. seem
commonplace, and through the me-
dunn OF his art he makes this beauty
manifest to all.
MIR. Carlson paints, as have the
greatest painters of all time, thought
his work contrasts sharply with that
of the majority of contemporary
painters, who seem to have been in
fiuenced by the present day rush, and,
therefore, to be producing with al
most breathless haste. There is a
great and beautiful calm in Mr.. Carl
sens painting which lifts ii above
the ordinary, and would alone give
1T place by itself: and it makes no
difference whether Mr.. Carlson is
painting figures, landscapes, marines
or still life: what is true Of one is
true of all. His work, while reticent.
is beautifully exact. His draughts-
manship Is impeccable. His textures
have that tonal richness. as we'll as
surface finish. which suggest the
translucent glaZes found in japanese
pottery. And. yet. when looking at
Mr.. Carlsen's paintings they seem so
simple. But this is true of all great
art.
In the present exhibition are to be
seen four portraits OF his son Dimes.
who is now but twenty-five yet ranks
with his father shoulder to shoulder in
the painting of still life, and has been
winning prizes and commentator in
the principal exhibitions Of the country
since he was lad of sixteen. These
portraits are painted In the same spirit
and somewhat the same manner as
were the early Italian portraits which
are so beloved today. But Mr. Carlson
does not use the idiom of any particular
time or school. he is himself and of
the present day, and this is well, for
that which meTely reflects something
which has gone before can never be OF
