Throughout the impressive serv ice Mrs. Richard Deane softly played “Silent Night. ** The service closed with the sing ing of a verse of “Joy to the World. In early England one expedient for measuring time was by wax candles, three inches burning an hour. GRIFFIN DAILY NEWS GOD REST YOU, MERRY GENTLEMEN m We are made familiar with car ols in many various ways at this season of the year. Yet, although the word has been for a long period particularly as sociated with Christmas, it was not always so. Authorities differ as to its derivation, opinions varying between Latin, Celtic and French. In regard to the latter che word “carole” is undoubtedly old French, and it is still used in the Marne to signify dance and fete. In olden days a carpi was a ring dance with song accompaniment— a ring of men and women holding hands and moving round in danc ing step, singing as they went. There are many references to the word “carol” in old English lit erature, as for instance, the fol lowing, from Chaucer’s ii The Dethe of Blaunche the Duechesse” (1369). I saw her daunce so comely, Carol and sing so sweetly. And this from Shakespeare: This carol they began that hour, With a hey, and a ho, and a hey nonino. As to the association with the word Christmas, Bishop Jeremy Taylor says: “The oldest carol was that sung by the heavenly host when the birth of the Savior was announced to the shepherds on the pUips of Bethlehem. The earliest Christmas caro^ was written in the fourth centur) by Aurelius Prudentius. The old est English carol is the “Angelus ad Virglnem, »» contained in a church manuscript of the thir teenth or fourteenth century. The first English collection of carols was published by Wynkyn de Worde in 1521. Proof of the antiquity of many English carols is to be found in the manner of times the source or origin is simply given as “Tradi WITH WOMEN OF TODAY A number of women in this country and abroad are greatly concerned over the question of be ing allowed to use their maiden names although they have hus bands living. Members of the Lucy Stone League are bent on carrying the fight to the courts of the land and Mrs. Helena Nor manton, English lawyer, is coming over to this country to aid in the fight. f i \ ••• * < i v , : ;X-.. ■ . ■ i >: S V' | J fe m I Mrs. Helens Normanton In getting her passport Mrs. Normanton insisted it should be made out in her own name and refused to accept one made out in the name of her husband, Mr. Clarke.

The first named has beqn, and is, frequently distorted by a mis placed comma, making it read: 44 God Rest You, Merry Gentle men.” Even in Dickens’ classic, “The Christmas Carol,” the incor rect version appears. The sense intended is “God Rest (or keep) you merry” at this .time of year.

Of these 65 are reported married, twelve unmar ried, and the matrimonial state of the remaining forty-five is not reported.
