Olive Logan's Letter to Chicago 1imes.l
The Duchess of Edinburgh, who
left England at the beginning Of
the season, is now soiouruing with
her mother, the Empress of Russia,
at a pleasant watering place called
Yalta, on the coast Of the Crimea.
The young duchess will not return
to England until after her accouch-
ment. Her sailor hubby is cruising
round about those regions, and will
no doubt cast anchor very soon at
Yalta, on visit to his wife His
countrymen and hers were on DIFF
ferent terms from these loving ones
when the siege Of the Malakoff
took place and Sebastopol had to
succumb to the advancing armies
of the allies, France and England.
What shall the Duchess of Edin-
burg chri8ten the little stranger
should it be a girl? The poverty
of English girl cognomens, or
given names" seems to be terrible.
The army Of Jessies, and Dollies,
and Hatties, and Lucics, and Jen-
nies is large one already and is
constantly receiving new recruits,
In England every other girl is
named Victoria; in France, mother,
daughter, grandmother and aunt
are all Marics. Mary does pretty
good service as a name in America,
too, wish some one would invent
a new and pretty list.
When poor Parepa came to
America, and we discovered that
she bore the odd name of Euphro-
syne, | christened one of the female
characters in my play of Surf after
the sweet singer, and " Frozie
was always a success on the boards.
But | never heard Of any real cir
being so named, Did you?

"Well, ma'am, | never think Of

Eyes, but what kind of a lady
would suit you?" ard the widow
looked her sweetest.
1t was right here the Captain
wonderful nerve forsook him, but
setting his eve steadily at the wild
ow's he hardened his heart anC
replied: "Madame, she must b

"It is getting so chilly out her,
