the rest of them, nave had Il name added t.
their stylish list by our contemporary, thu
week-Mr. Donish. Whether Mr.. Donisl
has adopted the accent upon the first syllable
and made his patronymic, Do-nishs anC
whether the DO i'll this division is pro-
nounced sd-umidut-u,' 'du,' or simply doe;
or whether the accent is to come upon tn,
tDon' and be sounded as done so that oul
friends name will have the horrible porten1
of sdone-ish;' whether we are to imply
that he is to be called sDon' with sIsh' SPELL
ed with a lower case IL in derision; OF
whether we are only to pronounce the Sd
and then give a sneeze with q Technology il
fish, we are not informed. We hope gu
%neighbor, down the street, will elucidate thu
matter for us clearly. because we dislike very
much to fail in anything appertain1ng to thu
etiquette Of names. Until we are more ad
vised, however, we shall continue to writ
our friends name, Don. Ish, even at the risl
Of offending against the latest euphemism o
asthetical nomenclature.
