What's in a Name?' Fact! about your name; Its history Its meaning; whence It was derived; Ita . ignlf lcanee; your lucky day and lucky Jewel. . BY MILDRED MARSHALL LILLIAN Lillian Is one of the charming .flower names which are so popular In the Vn.Hih linmtn T.llra all flftwer names. It Is somewhat difficult to trace, but It is known that the name was a farorite with Italian ladles as early as the fourteenth century, because of Its romantic allusion. ; Curiously enough, Lillian is not derived from lily, as is popularly sup posed though it is caiiea ny etymoio- , gists a "flower name." Tho concensus of opinion seems to be that It has the same origin as Cecelia, though the connection seems a trifle difficult to 'perceive. However, Cooler . Vivenna, an Etruscan general, who named the Coelian hill and gens. Is the root from which a number of names containing the syllable "11a" is derived. ' There was a Liliola Oonzaga in Italy in 340, and she la considered the first Instance of the namer Llllas was another form, which is still in popular use. Lilias Rtithven appears in Scotland in 1557. . She was probably so called from the old romantic poem of Roswel and Lillian, which was a great favorite in Scotland. The Lillian of this ballad Is the Queen of tyaples. The "English adopted the name as It stood and claim that it comes from lily, using it aa such. The Scotch have always preferred Lillas or Lilllas, but America adopted both lilias and Lillian. "Airy, fairy Lilian, Flitting fairy Lilian, When I ask her if she loves me. Clasps her tiny hands above me, Laughing all she can; She'll not tell me it she loves me, Cruel little Lilian. So innocent arch, so cunning-simple, From beneath her gathered wimple, Glancing with black-headed eyes. Till the lightning laughters dimple The baby-rOBes In her cheekc; Then away she flies." Lillian's jewel Is the lovely lapis lazuli, the Oriental gem as blue as the sea with tiny golden flecks like tilta nt fliinnhlna. Tt ban tho nnwer to cure melancholy and is also believed X. -.

Lillian's flower is most fleeingly the morning glory, the fairy bloora which scarcely survives the dew that vanishes before the sun's rays. Her lucky day Is Thursday and 2 Is her mystic number. LUCY The charmingly quaint- and oldfashioned - name of Lucy Is derived from the Latin lux, meaning light. Lux gave the favorite praenomen Lucius, one born at daylight. It was first used in Rome by Lucius Tarquinius Priscus. The first feminine form was Lucia and belonged to a virgin martyr at Syracuse whose name of light, being Indicated by early painters by a lamp or an eye, led to the legend that her beautiful eyes bad been put out. The old English version cuts off her head, but the indomitable lady goes on talking until she has received the Holy Eucharist The Sicilian saints were especially popular and Santa Lucia is not only the patroness of Italian flshermeT and namesake of their daughters, but she was early adopted by the Normans and even in the time of Edward the Confessor, the daughters of the Earl of Mercia had been thus . baptised. The Bouse of Blots were Importers of sacred names and Lucie was a sister of Stephen and was among those lost off the White Ship. The name has 6lnce flourished in England and France; it is particularly popular in the latter where many noble ladles were called Lucy, though poetry cal7 ound

The English forms of the name are Lucy, Luce and Lucinda. France calls her Luce and Lucie. She is Lucia to Spain and Italy, which also adds Luzia. Russia terms her Luzija.

The Theatres WASHINGTON. Discussing dual personality, the unusual mental condition which forms the plot for the new 'World picture, "The Poison Pen," starring Juno Elvidge. Dr. Weisberg, the eminent European student on mental diseases, declared that such trouble is more common than is usually supposed. "Dual personality," said Dr. Weisberg, "is due to a peculiar psychological condition. Two forces, one gorfd and the other evil, strive to maintain control of one's brain. In most people, will power is sufficiently developed to banish all evil thoughts as soon as they are suggested. Oc casionally, the evil Becures the upper hand, and the resulting actions are bad. Thus we have two distinct per sonalities battling for supremacy. "In . some . extreme cases the evil personality can only make itself evident and exert its influence where the i will power is dormant. That is when the victim is sleeping. Then, usually, sonambulistically, the sleeper is transformed into a person filled with evil passions. Persons troubled with sleep walking have dual personality to a slight extent. Normally they would not leave the bed in the 'dead of night to prowl about and they do so only because their will power is nt sufficiently active when they are sleeping to resist the other forces in their brain." In "The Poison Pen," the heroine is transformed into a" vicious woman, whose greatest pleasure consists of writing anonymous threatening letters to friends by an evil influence which exerts its power when she is asleep. The terrific struggle between the good and evil forces in her make a wonderful story one with the touch of Stevenson's "Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde." "The Poison Pen," starring June Elvidge, will be at the Washington theatre tonight nd tomorrow night.

John Golden is sending the original production that held the stage at the

Gaiety Theatre, New York, for a solid year. Had a visitor to the Gaiety placed a secret marking on any of the scenery used for the elaborate peach orchard or other settings the night the play began its phenomenal Broadway run he would find it on the, equipment to be employed at the local playhouse. The experiment of Mr. Golden in holding the Broadway production in tact for a road tour is being watched by other producers with considerable interest. It has always been a matter of dispute as to whether dwellers in the smaller cities are as quick to give their support and praise to really worth-wliHe offerings as they are to condemn the "No. 2" companies. The producers of "Turn to the Right" steadfastly declined to send out any duplicate companies last season to reap the harvest that unquestionably awaited the greatest comedy hit of the year in all parts of the country, believing that the public would find greater satisfaction in waiting a little longer and seeing the original company. The only company on tour to be seen here includes William Foran, Charles D. Goodrich, Mike Donlin, the former baseball star, and other artists who have appeared 1,000 times in the principal roies. MURRAY Adapted from Bartley Campbell's' "Fairfax," a memorable society drama, and brought up to date with some thrilling war scenes, "The Cruci ble of Life," in which Grace D'Armond is featured, is the current attraction at the Murray theatre, where nightly capacity audiences are attracted by the splendid entertainment provided. Many stunning features have been presented at this theatre, but seldom, if ever, has one so strong in its dramatic climaxes, so engrossing in its elements of love and patriotism been kscreened in this city. The story is briefly as" follows: Gladys Dale, companion In the Dorset (home, and Edwin Fairfax, brother of Mrs. Fairfax, fall in love. Robert DorBet, a scoundrel, also is attracted to

Gladys, but when his advances are dis- j for lt3 speedy correction. This Poscouraged he throws the blame for aj.am 9upplie3 working quickly, readily,
