The Fairies Were Camping.

I'll tell you secrct-I don't think you know it. The fairies were camping last night on ths lawn. While you were all sleeping outdoors softly creeping found their white tents, but the fairies had gone. They were in a great furry, or why should they hurry7 To leave their white tents was queer thing to do. Maybe they come only at night when 'tis lonely. guess they are sly gypsy fairies, don't youi Agnes Lewis Mitchell in St. Nicholas.

WHAT TO NAME THE BABY.

From "socIety Fads." in Demorest's Mags-
sine.
The most serious problem that
now assails the fashionable mother
is what name or names she shall
bestow on her newly arrived little
daughter; for 1t has of late become
the mode for every young woman to
possess as many initials as q royal
princess. Happily there has become
an active revulsion against the di-
minutive, and tits proper that all
girls now be spoken to and Of as
Anne or Josephine, Catherine or
Eleanor, in place OF the silly and
stupid Annie and Josie, Kittie and
Nellie. No more does the we'll reg
ulated debutante venture to give her
name distinction by unique spelling,
as Edyth, Kathryn, Corah, etc. She
keeps her baptismal name pure and
simple; and now many q worthy
clergyman is filled with an aston
ished qualification when at baptism
godmother announces her little
charge as Deborah Patience Susan
nah Melville Jones. The whole OF
this extensive title is engraved on
the cards Mrs. Jones sends out with
her own to apprise her friends of Miss
jones' safe arrival. The Deborah
and Susannah are careful selections
from the Biblical list now 80 much
favored that we hear of baby Esthers,
Naomis, Vashtis, Judiths, and Rach-
els, by tho score. Patience 10 in
imitation OF the Puritan love for
naming girls after the virtues, and
we have Hope, Joy, Peace, Prudence,
Mercy, Faith, Deliverance, etc.,
along with tho new provision that
the mothers maiden surname, as in
Melville Jones, be hypenated with
the child's.
