Spelling WOmen's Names.


Many, II not a majority, of the names of the
eight or nine hundred girls from the public
schools who have been examined for admission
10 the Normal College give us the impression
thaI tney Delong TO mere household pets rather
than to young women who are approaching ma
tur1ty, and who are engaged In serious work.
THESE girls apparently prefer the n1cknames by
which they are known in the family circle and
were christened, and therefore take pains to
adopt them In their signatures
In so doing the public school girls are not
exceptional among our young women, for it is
quite the fashion nowadays for them to grow SO
enamOred OF their nursery appellations that
they cling to them as their fixed and proper
names They may even be offended when they
they imagine are less pretty than these bet di.

Inc fashion Is American; but our patriotism
cannot make us grow fond of it. The nick.
names Whlch appear In so large share of these
public school girls signatures would do very
are used to express the affecttonate regard Of
near friends and relatives they also may be
pretty ana appropriate, but they look very silly
IN d toTa 81 Signature and surely do not bet

only here's and there a Mary, much more
into Carrie, Ellen 1nto Ella. Elizabeth into
Lizzie and Bessie. Katherine into Katie. Martina
into Matte. Margaret into Maggie. Anne and
Anna into Annie, and Harriet into Hattie, Such
ABSURD names as these appear quite frequently:
Chattie, Idle, Mile. Title, Kttte, Rosie sadie.
Nethe, Bibbie, Aggie and Margie.
Inc great aim seems to be to manufacture a
name which ends In lie, and In accomplishing it
the finest expectations for women we have
names renowned in poetry and In history, and
OF sweet and melOd10uS sound, ARE Chopped IN
into childish diminutives. They convey an idea
OF pettness. and do not rightly belong to girls
OF dignity and characteristics like those who
are going to the Normal College, so many of
whom Will have their living to earn. And yer
these girls think It is pretty to be known bv
such pet names. and so discard as ugly and Old
lasn1oned the names by which they are Christi

register which gave the young mems names as
mie. and Dickie? ~'
This fashion is extending among women and
girls are even named with nickname5 oniy. as

women are contending for higher consideration

NOthings.

Only some withered blossoms,
Crumbing to dry decay;
Only glove half -toru in two
And idly thu own away
Only heart that's breaking
That is, if hearts could break;
Only man adrift for life,
All for woman's sake.
Only few such tokens
Priced by love-sick fool,
Nanght but the ashes that strew the ground
When loves hot flame grows c ol
Not the first man by thousands
The dupe Of heartless fiirt;
Not the fret time that priceless love
Was treated like common dirt.
Only in Jest! You KNOW
Now, though it's rather late;
Rather too late to turn in your life
And seek another fate
You're not man. like thousands.
With heart that will veer and twirl
And feel glow at the word and glance
OF every flirting girl.
Finished forever and done;
Wrecked by q treacherous smile;
Following madly will-o' the-Hisp,
Happy, if but for while.
Only heart that g broken
That is, if hearts could break;
Only man adrift for life,
ALI for Woman's sake. GEO.
