MORA, which has always seemed
associated with beauty to the ex-
tent Of frequently being synonymous,
really comes under the class of mill
tary names.
Honor was a deity in ancient Rome,
but Honorius first appears as a proper
name in one of the appellations of the
Spanish father of the great Theodosi-
US. 1t was inherited by that imbecile
being, his grandson, the last genuine
Roman emperor, and also by a niece
called Justa Grata Honoria, who dis
hOnored all three of her honorable
names. But some lingering allegiance
to the last rulers of the empire per-
petuated their names and finally we
have Honorine, a Neustrian maiden
slain in Danish invasion and regard
ed as martyr.
For that reason, H0norine is exceed
ingly popular in France and Germany.
1t penetrated England also, and In Ire
land became a great favorite as Onora.

people across the river to earn his
living, but that often the older boat
men got all the passengers and there
was no one for him to row across
Every day they made the hole bigger
and bigger until it was almost large
enough for him to get through so that
he could play in her garden.
Then one day terrible storm came
up the river and the water rose and
rose against the garden wall. The little
princess was not allowed to go out
doors that day. Her thoughts were all
for the boy in his dark room, for she
was afraid he would be drowned, but
her nurses thoughts were all for them
safety.
Il have sent for your father, the
king!" the old nurse cried. "But am
afraid he will be too late to take US
away. The water has risen all around
the palace and the wall is all that
keeps us from the waves!"
Then there was a great crash and
the sound of water pouring over the
wall, and the nurse gave up hope But
the little princess was not afraid. She
cried out in joy, for there she saw
coming over the wall. on the crest of
the wave, her boy,
He rowed up to them and helped
them into the boat, although the nurse
being snobbish old thing, said even
in the midst Of the danger that she did
not care much about riding with such
a poorly clad oarsman But the little
princess only laughed, for she was a
real princess and did not care about
things like that. So they were res
cued, and the princess told the king,
her father, about it, and told that she
would,like to marry the boy when they
got older
1--WE will see how he can carry the
duties of prince If he is worthy,
perhaps you shall have your way"
So they gave the boy the duties of
a prince and the clothes of a prince
(Which are much less important but
makeemuch more of an impression on
nurses and the like) and as he was
good prince they made him king In
time and he married the little princess
and they lived happy ever after.

THE WATER BOY

ONCE upon time there was q
little princess who lived in beau
tlful palace by the side of a river.
There was a garden with lawns and
fountains, and the princess was al
lowed to play there in her golden robe
and you would have thought she would
have been happy all the time. But
every once in a while she said to her
nurse:
"Nursie, hear some one crying. Do
you hear it?"
But her old nurse always went right
on with her sewing as she rested on
a marble bench in the sun, and said:
stuff and nonsense, your highness.
Stuff and nonsense -
So the little princess would go on
playing in the garden and say nothing

Grafton in vogue is Honoria.
Perhaps it is the inherent pathos of
Celtic legend which gives Nora the
talismanic stone which to dream of
denotes sorrow-jet. That fashion
able glittering jewel should be worn
constantly by the bearer of the name
since jet is said to become a part of
the very body and soul of it's wearer
and to exercise jealous care in guard
ing her from evil. Sunday is appointed
her lucky day and mystic her lucky

The most charming of all the poetic
tributes to Nora is Thomas Moores:

But no one knows for whom 1t

Right and left it's arrows fly,
But what they aim at no one dreameth!

There is complicated mixup in
Arabia. At this writing about the
only thing that is certain is that King
Hussein of the Hedjaz, former grand
shereef of Mecca and recently self
proclaimed caliph of all Moslems, has
been forced to abdicate from both the
Hedjaz and the Moslem caliphate
throne.
The king put his signature to the
prepared abdication document after
he had spent many hours in prayer
and in wireless communication with
his sons, Feisal the king of Mesopo-
tamia and Abdullah the ruler of
Transjordania. Hussein declared that
he was retiring only temporarily be-
cause of his desire to protect the holi-
