New York, the Senate bill passed TO

The sundry civil bill was announced
as truly enrolled, and received the

O'clock the session of Monday was

PAPA" AND "MAMMA.1

An early instance which occurs to me
is in the "Beggar's Opera" Q720,
where Polly Peachum, I think it is,
speaks of her "papa." The modern
change from "papa" and mamma" to
father and mother among the upper
classes, which began about thirty years
ago, seems to have been reaction
against custom which had gradually
crept in among persons Of lower grade.
As soon as common peoples children
began to say "papa" and "mamma"
those of higher class were taught to
say "father" and mother" It was
among my high-church friends that I
frst noticed this adoption of father
and "mother." One does not see the
connection, but such is the fact. When
I was young "papa" and mamma
were universal among what may be
called the middle and upper ranks of So
ciety, and to this day "ladies of GER
tain age" still use the words. King
George Ill, about the year 1852, adj
dressed his mother as mamma" so |
find in the ''Grenville Memoirs. But
I do not think that Charles III, unless
he was speaking in French, ever ad-
dressed Henrietta Maria by that endear-
ing name, and feel tolerably sure that
the Lady Elizabeth never called Henry
VIII. "papa." On the other hand
would observe that "papa" and "mam-
ma" are fast being supplanted by the
old original ''father" and "mother." For
ten. or perhaps for twenty, years last
past, children in the upper and upper
middle classes have, so far as my obser-
walton goes, been taught to say "father"
and ''mother;" and "papa" and imam
ma" which are words of extreme ten
derness to those of my generation, seem
now to have sunk into contempt as
"note" of social inferiority Notes and
Queries.

WIGS FOR CHILDREN.

Impossible as it may be to understand
the survival or persistence of fashion In
dress, the use of false hair has been
re!egated to the gentler sex of this, the
last quarter of the nineteenth century.
Unless for tie absolute protection of
head utterly bereft of hair, men to-day
rarely wear wigs Tho prosperous days
Of the barber waned when he no longer
found supplementary calling in wig
making. If that preponderance of false
hair on women's heads. in vogue some
few years ago, has been curtailed. small
tags of sham curls, fastened on netting,
fattened on female foreheads, has been
for some time a la mode.
There is. however, one fashion getting
into vogue which common sense and the
least appreciation of the fitness of things
ought to abolish. If ridicule could kill
it, it deserves to be laughed out of exist
ence. You are passing house, and
child is seen as If set in the frame of the
window. You admire the beauty of the
child, and expatiate on a glory of hair
tumbling down on the rounded shoulders.
Your wife, who has noticed your expan-
siveness, will not be moved, for she re-
marks in dry, matter-of-fact way, 'It
is a wig, Why, don't you know that
any number of children wear wigs? You
can buy wig of that kind for $25. Very
nice ones, assorted to childs complex
ion, made to order, come higher" You
look horror stricken, and you ask re-
proachfully, Have you been shopping
for children's wigs? Is our own little
innocent to wear wig % 'sNo," is the
reply, g l only asked the price. Where
was the harm !? Why, there are thou
sands Of little girls in New York wearing
wigs. I should not be surprised if in
time all of them would have to wear them.
Some of the fashionable doctors, it is
said, recommend wigs-they prevent
colds. 1t is even quite likely that chill
dren will wear wigs this summer, be-
cause they will be thought to be cool "
There are, unfortunately, many vulgar
people who think. that the earlier they
begin to make their children humbugs
the better it is.--Nea0 York TaaslRa
