LEFTY

ONE of the glad" names is Letitia.
1t comes from the Latin adjective
iaetus. meaning glad. from which the
substantive. '1aetitia.' was formed
Whether ancient Rome underwent n
glad" period, etymologists do not
record, but the fGct remains that Lac
titia as q proper name was adopted
by the fashionable maids and matrons
of that bygone empire.
Laetitia first rlade her appearance
as Letizia, a name favored by the Ital-
ians during the fashion for extreme
novelty that preeailed in the Cinque
cento. Spain adopted hetiZia.
In Ireland Lettice was extremely
popular. One famous bearer of the
name was Lettice Knolys. the wife
of the Earl of ESSEX. Letitia was
evolved in Ireland. and is still favor
lite with Irish lass.es. though Lefty. the
diminutive, is by FAR the most POPULAR
form
Letitla and Lefty are 18th in vogue
In this country The touch of nro-
priety which has become associated
with Letitia has somewhat lessened
her vogue. but Lefty hourishes after
the manner of all contractions in
America
The turquoise is Letitias talislnanic
stone If set in gold, it will protect
her from all danger, especially when
travelling. According TO an old legend.

Of evil, The hess possible good Iu~'.

PETER AND THE FAIRIES

DETER loved the beautiful green
fields and all the wild flowers, but
best of all he loved the pretty golden
eyed daisy with her rufiied bonnet, and
never would he disturb daisy though
II grew in his very garden.
All around the poor cottage where
he lived alone grew the daisies In
profusion. and one night Peter awoke
and saw all the daisies dancing in the
moonlight. He jumped out Of his bed
and ran to the window, thinking he
must be dreaming.
1t was true. The daisies were all
dancing, and among them, taller than
the others, was little lady wearing
a ruffied cap. but instead of one gold
en- eye she had pretty face and two
eyes though they were not golden.
Peter slipped on his clothes and ran
into the yard, and the little lady
smiled and ran, but she beckoned to
Peter to follow her.
Peter was so intent upon watching
the running figure that he did not no.

Of
Superstitions
By Il lRDlNG KIN G
THE MOUNTAIN ASH

a NYBODY who knows anything at
all about witches knows that
branch of the rowan tree-or, as it is
more generally called mountain ash
will keep those Objectionable persons
at distance and act as d counter
charm to their sorcery.l In some parts
of the country the rowan is accounted
equally etficacious against thieves. In
Maine housewives stir their I've in
making soap, with a stick of rowan, in
order that the soap may be hard and of
good quality And everywhere they
will tell you that to beat n child with
a rod of mountain ash stops its-growth.
The superstition with regard to the
mystic qualities of mountain ash has
northern Europe as its country of
origin and fiourisfed there in the early
days. In northern Europe 1t still i'm
gers and from northern Europe we in
herit it. Formerly in some parts of
ireland the villagers used to appear on
May day bearing a hoop covered with
marigolds and sprigs of mountain ash,
within which hung two balls, one COW
ereu Win Soiu piper anu one VIII Sli-
yer, to represent the sun and moon
The marigolds were. of course to sup
plement the yellow bah, the sun.
Which would indicate that anciently
in Celtic mythology, at least some con
nection was conceived to exist between
the other decoration. the rowan. and
the moon goddess.
Re that as it may. II is reasonable to
suppose that the rowan got its mystic
reputation in Nose mythology-as II
got it's common English name-from
the resemblance Of its foliage to that
Of the true ASH the sacred tree of our
Scandinavian orcfathers-lgdrasil. the
tree of life. one old name for the
rowan was the quicken tree
quicken in the sel.se Of to make alive
which would seem still further to con
meet the mountain ash with the Stored
Igdrasil.

temperarnental actress, star in

which has been based on the
frrisqueness. Her new show is closed
through the instrumentality of a

MISS Moore throughout the play

the amnesia victim" a demurc,
modest and shy young woman.
