M ABEL
TkiTABEL is tran slate d to mean be-
loved and certainly the nam e has
a right to Its significance, since it
comes from th e word m cadhall, m ean­
ing “Joy." T he fashionable miss of to­
day who spells her good old-fashioned
nam e “Maybelle" does not realize th a t
she is try in g to paint th e lily ; no
nam e more redolent of poetry exists
today th an Mabel.
Mabel ap p ears flrst as Meadhbh.
T he d au g h ter of Eocbaid Freidhleach,
king of Erin, w as so called and was
such a beloved heroine of Irish ro­
m ance th a t t ’ongal Claen, according to
the old story, bid th e men of Can-
naught, h er husband's kingdom, to
“Rem em ber Meave In b attle."
Meave, the dim inutive of Meadhbh,
becam e popular in Ireland and. In
honor of Its first possessor, was be-
stowred on th e Queen of the Fairies.
Irish se ttlers brought her fam e to E ng­
land. where she w as made im m ortal
by S hakespeare and Ben Jonson.
Mabel m eans "beloved," a signifi­
cance probably given by th e Irish who
a re naively fond of fairy stories. In
F ran ce she Is called Mnbelle. The
nam e Is too K eltic to appeal to the
L atin countries, so she has no equiva­
lents In Spain and Italy. Maybelle is
m erety an affectation and has no
rnlson d 'etre except in the realm s of
fnshlon.
Coral Is M abel's talism an stone. It
gives its w earer wisdom and bodily
strength, possessing the pow er to fade
in color as a w arning of fatigue or
disease.
If it is broken or even
chipped, th is pow er vanishes. Monday
is M abel's lucky day and tw o her
lucky number.
