BALTIMORE, February 10.—Who sald that the woman's place is al- ways In the home? This s the ques- tion asked by Miss Gwendolyn Rob- son; sixth engineer of the British teamship Vulcan City, which has Just arrived at this port from Mid- dlesboro, England. Miss Robson is the Second woman in the world to try her hand as an engineer aboard a deep-water vessel, according to the crew of the ship. And a fine engineer she is, too, say the men on board. For three months she has been aiding the Vulcan City in her fight against the North At- lantic storms, and she has proved the equal of most any man aboard. Miss Robson is said to be a member of a very wealthy Welsh family, her father having large mining interests in Wales. During the war she served as a member of the famous Woman's Auxiliary Corps.

The origin of the basic name can be traced to days of Teutonic paganism, but the feminine version did not ap- pear very consistently until the fif- teenth century, when it was much used at_the French court.

Henrigueta (Portuguese), Jen- diska (Bohemian) There have been many roval Hen- riettas, but by far the most popular of all history were Henrietta Marie, queen of Charles 1 of England, and her daughter Henrietta, duchess of Orleans. Henrietta Maria was the {daughter of Henry 1V of France. She married Charles 1 in 1625 and was at first very popular wtih th ! British people, but gradually sh lost her hold on these people through her religious faith and despotic mo- tions.
