The name comes from the Roman divinity, Janus, who presided over the beginning of everything. He opened the seasons and years, was janitor of heaven and on earth, guardian of doors and gates, In time of war he went to battle with the Romans and aided them against the foe. In time of peace he abode in the temple and watched over the safety of the city. Janus was sometimes represented with two faces and sometimes with four. He carried a sceptre in his right hand and a key in his left. aie Sc se ig IS SS SS THE MIRROR | '4 SUDDEN DEATH OF FINE YOUNG GIRL Helen, the bright and cheerful young daughter of Mr. and Mrs. L.
