THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
"M A R M A LA D E ."
T WAS early in the Fifteenth
century that French epicures
began to take notice of a new
und particularly delicious sweet
meat that w as beginning to come
over the border from Spain. It
appeared to be a kind of thick
Jam, well flavored -ad with a
body which gave It distinctly
more of a taste than the rather
flat preserves which were In
vogue at that time.
Inquiring
Into the source of this delicacy,
the Parisians found that it came
from Portugal, where the na
tives had discovered the knack
of treating quinces in such n
manner thut they made a paste
or preserve of exceptional qual
ity and uppetlzlng flavor. Be
cause of the fact that the Portu
guese word for quince Is “ mar-
melo,” the name “ marmalade”
was applied to this 'preserve
which, upon being Introduced
into England, became extremely
popular.
During the Nineteenth cen
tury the English became very
proficient in the making of or
ange marmalade, and practically
captured the world trade in this
commodity until American ge
nius added a new tang and
flavor at an even lower price.
The fact that oranges were al
most universally used for the
manufacture of this product ob
scured the original derivation of
the word, and today marmalade
is generally understood to mean
a thick Jam made from oranges,
while, ns n matter of fact, it
should he applied only to that
which is made from quinces.
Even “ orange marmalade” is a
misnomer, ns a literal transla
tion of the term would be “ or
ange quince preserve.”

was chosen because the late Theodore
Roosevelt spent purt of tils early man

CLERICAL WORK
URING the war women went into
railroad work in large numbers,
and took over Jobs that were unsuited
to them, because the need was there
to be filled. Since peace has come
they have left these positions. But
many women are still working for the
railroads In clerical positions and they
are liked for the work. The salaries
are good, and the treatment of the
women is said to be excellent. V'liere
these nre required the railroads have
provided rest and lunch rooms, and
there are matrons whose business it is
to see that the women are comfortably
situated and cared for.
In the Iinnks, too, women are going
more and more Into clerical work.
They are working as cashiers and as
sistant cashiers, and in the branches
for women customers they hold Jobs
ns paying tellers nnd adjustors. The
work Is agreeable to women who have
a sound training in book-keeping, the
associations are pleasant, anfl there
will be more opportunities for advance
ment ns the strangeness of having
women work in banks wears off. In
many banks with a large woman
clientele a woman is employed to ad
vise these clients In regard to invest
ments. This Is a position of trust nnd
importance.
One high official of a large bank that
employs many women In vnrious posi
tions said that lie found them effi
cient, trustworthy and capable.
" I don't know whether we shall ever
have many women as presidents of
banks, but I don't see why we
shouldn’t,” he remarked. “After ail,
it's up to the women.”
