CHANGES IN PROPER NAMES.
Transformations Through the Medium
of Different Languages.

From Scottish Nights
Proper names undergo singular changes
in course of time, and when Influenced by
foreign tongues. 1t has been asked which
is the proper way of spelling the surname
Steward. But this question, it would ap-
PEAR, is not easily answered, seeing We have
about thirty different ways on record in
English, Gaelic, Latin, French, Italian,
Spanish and Dutch. as follows: Steward,
Steuard, Steuart. Steuert, Stewort, Steort,
Steubllard. Steubhart, Steubhartt Stub
hart, Steyyard, Stiurt, Steward. Sturgard,
StUyarde, Styward, Stuardus. Seneshailus,
Estuard, Estuard2a, Stivard, Stivardi.
The well-known name John Smith, good
strong ard honest English name, is some
times transformed into John Smyth, and
Smythe, and even Smijthe; but transformed
il to other languages it seems to climb the
ladder of responsibility. thus: In Latin ii is
Johannes Smithus; the Italians smooth it
off into Giovanni Smith, The Spaniards
render it Juan Smithus; the Dutchman
ter it into jean Smeets and the Russian
sEeeZes and baIks Jouloff SIN ttowski. When
John Smith gets into the tea trade at Can
ten, be becomes Jahon Shmmit. If he
chambers about Mt. Heekla, the Icelanders
say he is Jaime Smithsen. If he trades
among the Tuscaroras, he becomes Tom Ga
Smitha. In Poland he is known as Ivan
Schmittiweiski. Should he wander among
the Welsh mountains, they talk OF Jihom
ScEmidd When he goes to Mexico he is
booked as Jouth F'Smitr. If, of classic
turn, he fingers among Greek ruins he
turns TO Ion SElikton; and in Turkey, he
is utterly disguised as Yoe Seef.

ticularly becoming background to bright
assembly, andsnever before has 1t been the
scene of n more beautiful or distinguished
gathering Of women. The large table was
laid with forty covers and adorned with
great banks of pink roses and carnations
while round table decorated with GRIM
son roses in the form Of a heart gathered
the unmarried guests.
Mrs. Thompson occupied the head of the
table. and on her right was Mrs Adlai
Stevenson, the honorary president of the
daughters of the Revolution, and on her
left Mrs. Howard Townsend from New
York. president of the Colonial Danes Of
America.
Among other noted guests were Mrs
Washington Augustus Roebling, wife of
the builder of Brooklyn bridge and presi-
dent OF the Georgetown Alumnae; Mrs.
Gilman, wife of Mr.. Gilman, president of
the Johns Hopkins University and chair
man of the jury of awards for the exposi-
ton; Miss Miller and Miss Lawrence of
New York, two distinguished Colonial
Danes; Mrs John B. Gordon, Mrs. Nelson,
wife Of the bishop of Georgia; Miss Wash
ington of Virginia, and many others.
Quaint and Pretty Decorations.
In thorough keeping with the occasion
were the quaint candelabra, with their pink
tapers and empire shades, and the favor
cards at each plate were miniatures in love-
knot frames of the famous beauties Of
colonial days. These exquisite works of
art were painted in water colors by Caro-
line Lowell. young southerner and de-
scendent of the great Malbone, who is her
helf fast becoming celebrated a minia-
ture painter and illustrator. The order for
these cards was given by Mrs. Thompson
twelve months ago for this especial oc-
cas:on, and therefore. the artist had plenty
OF time to choose her subjects and select
the best portraits or miniatures for repro
duction. The cards are all copies of famous
paintings and each counterfeit presentment
was an enchanting study in quaint, Gemure
loneliness. From its frame of blue ribbon
smiled the face OF Madame Bonaparte of
Baltimore who shared with the rest Of
the women of that name an unhappy fate.
Martha Washington was there in her we'd
ding gown, and again in cap and kerchief.
There were many others, perhaps the most
famous being Mrs. Charles Carroll, Mrs.
Winfield Scott, Mrs. Ralph lizard, Mary
Randolph, Caroline Frazer Grincess Mu-
raO Rebecca Mott, Elizabeth Calvert, Eve
lyn Byrd and Nellie Custis. With this and
other great functions in their honor the
Danes and Daughters have every reason
to feel themselves fiattered by the attention
shown them.

FATHERS DOMESTIC HEADSHIP.
No Success Will Atone for n NeEli.
gcnce of Home Responsibility.


While, perforce of ordinary circumstance,
the fathers duties will hold him consider
ably apart from the contacts of home life,
yet whatever successes he may achieve out
side will not atone for any failure on his
part to regard his home as the prime sphere
of his obligation and the point around which
his devotements will cluster in distinguished
earnestness. and constancy. Whatever he
may have achieved in his art, trade, profess
sion other engagement, the man who
stands at the head of a household has been
in the broad sense of the term failure if he
has not been a true husband and a wise,
strong and devoted father. 1t cannot be a
successful home where the mother looks
after the children and the father looks after
his business. The most productive services
rendered are always personal, and any
amount of eXertion expended outside in pro-
viding for the necessities Of the home will
not take the place of that tuitional ministry
which comes only by the direct and continu-
Gus contact of father with child. However
complete woman may be mother there
are qualities of character which the father
will communicate to his children that the
mother will be less able to do well as less
intended to do.
