All this in the pauses of the dance. When
they started up again the music had accelerated

Fashions in Girls, Names

The most important change in the naming of
girls has been the growing disinclnstion TO
give them more than one name, the object of
this being that when woman msrries she may
easily combine her full maiden name with her
new surname, writes Mrs. Hamilton Mott in
the March Ladies' Home Journal. three-word
signature is much prettier and more convenient
than one composed of four words. Then. too
immediate recognition Of her own, as well as
that of her husbands surname, and the con-
venience in genealogical research and legal
transactions. are two reasons of sufficient im-
portance to warrant the combination were there
no others.
With this fashion in girls names has come,
as in boys, disinclination to use diminutives
or pet names. Mollies, Maggies. Katies. and the
various feminine "ies " and "ys" are as scarce
as their masculine counterparts Jimmie and
Willie. Mary, Margaret, and Katharine have
taken the place of the former, and James and

Men With Nerves.

There is an old and often-told story of the
officer who claimed more credit for his own
conduct under fire than that of his men,
They were not afraid, and so they stood
steady" he argued but didn't run away,
although was most damnably afraid"
The reason of that contention is one that is
generally admitted, and the world is not slow
to acknowledge the virtue of the constitu-
tional coward whose courage lies in his force of
will. For there is such thing as constitu-
tional cowardice, and it can be conquered il
mans spirit is greater than the tremor OF his
nerves
When the natural tremor is the stronger, and
overcomes his will, then we write him down
q coward. But what can be said Of the man
who makes no effort at all, and cares not in the
least whether he be called coward or not?
AS yet one cannot believe that there are
many such men, but at the same time it is
impossible to ignore the fact that instances
of this weak surrender are growing more plen-
tiful, and that there is the tendency to
pslljate cowardice that now seeks to palliate
drunkenness and crime.
In the old days the drunkard and thief
were not overtenderly handled. 1t was held
that they snned through what the American
calls cussedness." and 10 was judged that Gus
sedness could best be cured by being whipped
or put la the pillory, Or otherwise strongly
repressed.
Now it has been discovered that the poor sim
ners are afflicted with mental disease, and seri-
GUS doubts are cast on the humanity of forci lie
restraint. even though that restraint tax cs the
mild form of short terms of imprisonment
With much more truth might it be represented
that the coward cannot command his nerves,
and that, as nervous invalid, he rather merits
pity than contempt.
Such view may be more humane and charit-
able, but it is far from being expedient By
all means let us hold it, if we will, with regard
to particular coward here and there but
heaven forbid that we should ever hold it with
regard to cowardice In generall 1t is not In the
least likely that we ever shall do 80, for the re-
suits would be so Immediate and 80 deplorable
that a healthy reaction would very soon set ia
