Show AnalyW With the New ScienjvertigiIlg Medil By C. J. COFFMAli rr Dean of All toe Enu merators I Frances "Frances her name, and frank her face Whatever be her lot. When comes her fame, her highest place. May sorrow find her not," You do not need to ever be a martyr. Frances, but von easilv ran be. In helping you, in advising you for this life, I would suggest first that you do not too eagerly eager-ly take offense when you find opinions differing differ-ing from your own. Rather assume the attitude Frances. Frank that if your side Face is right It will be demonstrated without much crying out on your part. On the other hand, If the other side should be right, the least you say the less there will be to retract. Ton have such a well-balanced face that I am sure you will see these things. Your picture Indicates Indi-cates that. Taking some of the old syllables from the days when language was based mostly on definite meanings, I find that part of your name means, "to be joyful, to triumph." I like to believe that this is what you are going to do, for you have the power. Another syllable in your name. CES, Indicates the ability to halt the actions of others. You have the power to do this in either one of two ways, by throwing discouragement discour-agement to their pathway, or by helping them to see a better way, and thus moving them out of the wrong way. Such a laborer in the fields of right was Frances E. Willard, great humanist and temperance organizer. organ-izer. On .the. male side of the lineage of your name (though not of your family) was St. Francis of Assisi. Though his ideals seemed entirely impractical, though he did what the world called a foolish thing, be did accomplish a great good among his people, and organized a great work. The great things of this world, Frances, do not all belong to some one else. Some of them may belong be-long to you. If you believe that, you will take. them. Fay Fay, the fairy-like. Your name rings a charm in itself and somehow some-how defies us to ttna anyuung concerning It in the ancient Greek or He-, brew. This Is because be-cause the most learned ' of us never learn anything any-thing about the vast worlds of childlike Fore-you, Fore-you, the fays of head of Fay, your fairyland. For Fay really means fairy. You can, if you like, go skipping lightly over the waves of life, with your fluffy hair and flying ribbons, laughing laugh-ing at all our learnedness. The childlike bulge In your forehead fore-head suggests precocity. And who shall, say that the inquiring mind of the child shall find less wisdom wis-dom than the sluggish mind of the sages? Taking tbe letters In your name separately we find that F stands for both Fast and Furious. It suggests sug-gests some of the fastest movements move-ments in the fairy dance music, as composed by some of the great masters. F provides the Fling and Flight-Iness Flight-Iness of the Forgivable little flashes of anger, followed by a kiss. Smiles through tears, that's the Idea. When we come to tbe A we think of the most useful word of all the language, fundi." We place It here because It comes between the "f" aud the "y," and It shall mean to us, Fairies and Youlhfiilness. "Youth and youthful," how often the world's most wise would claim those simple Y's. How perennially the effervescence efferves-cence hursts forth In the work of Fay King, philosopher-cartoonist, beloved of the millions. (. 1930. Western Newspaper Union.) |
