In England there is great variety OF
personal nomenclature. and, though We
have plenty Of Smiths, Browns and Ron
insons, we have nothing approaching to
the poverty, In this respect. which char
acterizes many localities In North Brit.
ain In certain parts OF Scotland, not
only have the surnames been few. but
there has been strong disposition TO
ring the changes ON very few Christian
names, with the result that the commu
nifty in its desire to distinguish between
persons Of precisely the same name, has
been obliged 10 provide each with a spe
cial label. or 'to-name. by which he
can be known. A contributor 10 The
Scotsman says that in the official list of
voters in Scotch fishing town occur
such "to-names" as Deadly" PUN, ,
"Den," Cock" Post "Bo," "San

Such appellations as these. are not nee.

sometimes they refer to individual occp

Christine Terhuns Herr,sk.

A daughter of Marion Harland. who
has made place for herself by her own
work, has a double claim upon the In
terest Of American women.
So familiar has the name Of Christine
Terhune Herrick become upon the covers
of books, and in newspapers and maga-
zines. that il Ia difficult TO realize that
her first article was written only five
years ago. aud that she In one Of the
youngest in the army Of American women.
writer's. Marion Harland educated her
daughter almost wholly at home, and
trained her. as she insists that every
woman should be trained, to be self
supporting in case of need.
But, curiously enough, the vocation
for which she was trained was not that
OF writer, but OF a teacher. She was
thoroughly trained In English ltera-
ture. Anglo-Saxon and philology, for n
chair in English literature, and she
taught her favorite subject in a New
England woman's school long enough to
become accustomed 10 teaching methods.
She understands French, Italian, Ger
mN and Latin. besides English and
Anglo-S,xon. But all through her girl
hood there was no thought Of her writ
ing. 1t was not until she had been mar
ned nearly year, and was keeping her
own house at Springfield, Mass, after
Dr. and Mrs. Terhune had removed to
Brooklyn, that she sent her first article
TO domestic magazine. That was ac-
cepted. and was followed by several
others, when their author found her
work in demand. a demand which has
increased from that time to this.

All dainty women are fond of scent
Some Of them use 1t very extrayagantly.
They saturate their dresses with per-
fume. so that when they are taken out
OF the wardrobe they are as fragrant as
bank of violets. Lilac, heliotrope
blossom and violet ara all popular per-
fumes. but violet takes the palm. A
saleswoman in IA Regent street perfumer's a
told me that fashionable women spent
more ON perfumes for the bath than for
other PURPOSES. She could not tell me
what fashionable woman's scent bill
came to in year. Some women bought
their perfume in bulk. by the half gallon
or the quart. A three half pint bottle
OF opoposax costs three guineas. The
young woman said that some of their
wealthiest customers frittered away a
small fortune In year on expensive
toilet trivialities.
There's long list OF things in a fash
ionable toilet bill Scent is not the heav-
lest item. There's face wash, soap, pow
der, vinegar, pastilles for the breath. and
rouge and other things The principal
items in the list-facc wash. soap, powder
and toilet vinegar, that is--are made 20
