THE NAME FOR A GIRL.

If we granted the following re-
quest, which comes to US from
Kentucky, we should do the baby
referred to poor service:
"Please send me some pretty name
for girl baby-something novel
and uncommon-and you viii much
oblige a reader of the sam"
Novel and uncommon or merely
pretty and fanciful names are the
ones of all others for you to avoid:
You may make your girl an OBJECT
of ridicule, and cause her mortihca-
ton which will do serious injury 10
her disposition, if you give her some
odd anu romantic name.
The old and simple and hcmely
names are the best foc giris-ths
names which have been borne by
women for thousands Of years, and
which are both beautiful in them.
selves and sweet in their assocla-
tions. There is a dignity about them
which BELTS womanhood, while a
great part of the fanciful names
which have oflate come into fashion
| are inappropriate except in fh'
nursery as the pet appellation o.
babies.
There are scores Of common
names which are far better thai
any Of those manufactured by 70
mancers. They are all good and al
suitable, and because thousands AM
, millions of women have beel
. known by them they are none tn
, less attractive. Those which ar
! most commonly used are, indeed
! the most agreeable to the ear-ik
Mary and Margaret, Catherine an
o Harriet, Jane and Lucy, an
/ Elizabeth. They are dignihet
: and their homeliness makes thel
al ali the more charming. Affectio
n viii never get tired IF them. The
Is will be as common thousand yea
/ from now as they were a thousar
r. years ago and as they are te~dsy.
m We therefore advise our friend
r give up his plan for distinguishir
a his girl by burdeniug her with son
m s'novel and uncommon" name, a.
d. if she grows to be sensible WON
a. she will thank us for our refusal
r. assist him in finding such an app
f. lation.-N. Y.Sun.
