JEAN*
J
EAN la one of the many French
names which have come to be An­
glicized by dropping the final ending.
Though Infinitely p rettier when spelled
Jeanne, It Is apparently thought to sa­
vor too much of the G allic for English
ears. It is one of the sim plest of
fem inine name*—Its equivalent Jan e
being the sole exam ple of an ap p ella­
tive even less burdened with affecta­
tion.
Jenn means “grace of the Lord." Its
earliest predecessor was Joanna, wife
of Herod's stew ard. The Roman calen­
dar has two feasts in honor of Joanna,
the holy woman of the Bible, but the
real vogue of the name Is due to the
numerous St. Johns of the Scriptures,
of which Joanna Is re a lly the femi­
nine.
In the Twelfth century Jehanne and
Jeanne appeared In the south of
France and N avarre. The latter was
especially a patrician nam e and Its
bearers m arried Into m any of the roy­
al fam ilies of the times. The daughter
of Henry II. who m arried into Sicily,
was the first English princess so
called. The Scottish Jo an Beaufort,
whom the Scots called Jean , was the
maiden beloved by the captive Jam es 1.
The sapphire Is the talism anlc gem
belonging to Jean. It 1« said to attract
Divine favor for her and protect her
from all danger and disease. Friday
Is her lucky day and 2 her lucky num­
ber.

and you m entnlly «<>te that she w ill

bilt would pay for them all themselves
rather than go back on their word.

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
“ BUGABOO"
T ^V IIE V M aitland, the Eng-
- ” llsh w riter, blasphemously
asserted th at God w as “only a
bogle of the nursery" he prob­
ably came a good deal closer to
the truth—from the standpoint
of etym ology—than he Intended
for the word “bogle" or “bug­
aboo” D derived from the Sla-.
vonlc “hog," the name for th#
Supreme Being In the mythology
of the northern nations.
In Ben Jonson'a play “The
Devi! Is an Ass.” the devil Is
named I*ug—a creature which
bears a m arked relationship to
Buck but which, through Shake­
speare's having confounded It
with the spirit-of the-house. nas
come to be applied to a species
of house-dog. Buck, pug and
bug are all corruptions of the
word bog. sim ilar changes of
spelling being apparent In the
Welsh bwg i m eaning a hobgob­
lin. a ghost or a terro r), th*
Icelandic puke and the Gothic
puke.
From “bug." as used in this
sense and not In that of an in-
aect, ccme “bugbear." “bugaboo"
and "bogle" and It Is In thia
sense that Shakespeare us«*e It
In the fifth act of H am let: “Such
bugs and gohiina In my life.'
