MURIEL

THE quantity demure Muriel is one
1 of the oldest and most beloved of
English names. It's earliest form,
Meriel, is still in common usage
abroad. 1t signifies "myrrh,' the
precious perfume of early Biblical
days, and a special reverence attaches
to the name, since myrrh was one of
the gifts brought by the Wise Men to
the newborn Babe in the manager at
Bethlehem.
Seldom in the history of etymology
has name preserved it's original iden-
tity so faithfully as Muriel. 1t has
suffered no change, since Meriel was
first taken from the Greek word mean
ing myrrh. Nor did it leave its native
heath to undergo transformation by
another language. No other country
has an equivalent even America trans
ported it intact.
The moonstone is Muriel's tails
manic gem. According to an old le-
5end, it will endow her with the purity
and beauty of the moonbeams which
the ancients believed were imprisoned
in the stone. 1t is likewise said to
give her tire. gift of prophetic vision
whereby she may read the future. Sun
day is her lucky day and 2 her lucky
number. The cornfower is her special
bloom.

Have You This Habit?
By Margaret Morrison
A SPEAKING VOICE

"OrHER things being equal. said
~ the great doctor that evening at
dinner, "a good speaking voice Is the
greatest asset a man or woman can
have. When l want to engage a secre-
tary, always try to have my first IN
terview over the telephone. The sec
rotary I have now picked out from
five other young women who applied.
all of them capable, mainly because
she speaks clearly and isn't nasal
"Can pleasing voice be acquired,
doctor?' asked his host, cor is it just
a golden spoon that same people are
born with and others not?"
Good voice production answered
the eminent specialist, putting down
his fork and speaking emphatically,
good voice production is habit and
can be acquired. I once had young
assistant" he went on, who purely
by imitation and association with the
group he was running with fell gradu-
ally into sloppy way of talking that
was very difficult to understand and
very unattractive. I finally had it out
with him; he saw my point-he was a
fine fellow-and though it was strug-
gle he began to stand up straight, open
his mouth, shape his words, get his
voice forward. You'd be surprised If
/ were to tell you his name; everyone
knows it these days"
The next morning at church the doc
tors host heard sermon that stayed
in his memory for many days. The
message of that sermon was fine, but
he bad heard the same thoughts many
times before without consciously carry
ing them about with him afterward.
The difference in the impression made
lay in the voice Of the speaker which,
with no visible effort, carried clearly
and quietly. He was quite undramatic.

Che Dhp Of Superstitions

By H. lRUlNG KING

In some parts Of Europe the peas
ants at planting time leap high in the
air in the sown fields in order that the
crops may grow high; in another a
sower of wheat wears a golden ring
in order that the grain may have a
rich, golden color and stone, wrapped
in a white rag, is placed among the
cabbages in order that they may "head
up" white and hard; while in Sumatra
the rice is sown by women with their
hair hanging loose in order that the
cereal may grow luxuriantly and have
long stalks.
Instances of similar practices might
be muldplied almost indefinitely. All
are inheritances from the primitive;
the persistence Of primitive magic into
the Twentieth century, subsisting side
by side with colleges of agriculture.
