There are plenty of pretty girls in the inited States, but beauties here. as slsewhere, are not overplentiful. NAMES FOR GIRLS And What They Mean THER is the most prominent a group of four names for girls, all derived from the root and, consequently, all of the same meaning. The three others are Hes- \ ter, Estelle and Hetty. The confus- fon of thexe names was begun in re- mote The original name, Esther, was derived directly from the Persian word, “stara,” meaning star. The Hebrew version of the word Hadassah, pronounced as though it were spelled Atossa. The familiar quotation, “Hiteh your | wagon to 4 star,” might well be given as the motto for Isther and the others of this group but the motto ! generally assigned her is “my divin- ity.” Because the Hebrew Hadassah also means myrtle, this has been | chosen as the flower for Esther. It is interesting to note that the flawer of the myrtle is traditionally said to be sacred to Venus, the goddess of | beauty and love, | The first Esther was the queen, from whom one of the Old Testament | books takes its name. She was the | daughter of Abigail and the cousin ! . and adopted daukhter of Mordecai. of | the tribe of Benjamin. She was placed on the throne as queen instead of Vashti, by King Ahasucrus and, having' this position of, power, ¢he was | able to protect hef 'people against the evil contrivances of Haman. The deliverance of her people at this time is still celebrated by the feast of Purim. Handel wrote a_famous oratorio on the subject of Esther. The words were taRen from the play by Racine, written for the pupils of St. Cyr, with | music by Moreau, at the special re- quest of Mme. de Maintenon. It was enacted by these girl students before the king. . At the time when the Romans in- vaded Britain they carried the name Esthera with them as a popular name for girls. The British adopted it in the Torm Hestera, which in later days the linglish abbreviated into Hetty. Many consider Hetty as an abbrevia- tion for Henrietta, but it is in reality | the nickname for Hester, or Hestera. | Because the great religious leader, | Martin_Luther, didn't approve of the name Esther, it is not found as a popular name among German girls or others who follow the Lutheran form of religion. Other versions of the name are Estelle, preferred by the French, ana directly taken from the Persian word for star.
