He was so philosophical that the girl

EYPHsNATeo NAMES.
Some Are Gsnuine. Others simply stand
FSr RnSbbsry-How to Distinguish.

Rome Are GGnuine, Others simply stand
Fsr Rnsbbsry-Hov to Distinguish.
Hyphenated names in Europe may he
ivided into two categories-namely,
those wherein the hyphen is mere piece
of snobbery and affectatiOn, and those
wherein it is consequent upon legal
obligation. The latter are i'll the minor
i.v and are borne almost invariably by
legatees and their descendants, who have
inherited property. usually real estate,
contingent upon their tacking the name
Of the testator on to their own. or else
they are men who have married heireSses
and been accepted as husbands for the
latter on the condition that they should
append the family name Of their wives
to their own patronynic.
People in the other category, who use
the hyphen merely with the object Of
creating the impression that they arc Of
more ancient lineage than is really the
case, invariably prefix, instead Of ap-
pending, the additional name. and IL Is
this that enables one to distinguish the
bona fide double barrel, " as Lord Ran
dolph Churchill used to call them. from
those who are not, for yOu have only TO
ask Mr. Pousonby-Jones for the name Of
his paternal grandfather in order 10 find

Jones, devoid of the aristOcratic PonsOn-
by, whereas in the case of surnames
adopted in Difference to testamentary
dispositions one Will invariably find on
inquiry that the paterual grandfather
and ancestors bore the first of ths two
patronymics
The persons who make use of hyphen-
ated names without being compelled TO
do so are usually the owners of patro-
nymics excruciatingly plebeian, who
hope, vainly, it is true. To redeem the
commonplace character of their name by
prefixing t'-crcto one calculated, they
trust. to create the impression that they
are connected with some Of the great
houses Of the nobility. Thus II is quite

MOMENTS WITH MELONS.

The woman who has watermelon patch
in her back yard, or even single example
of the seductive fruit in her refrigerator,
need not hesitate to embark upon summer
entertainment requiring refreshments"
Of all delicacies specially adapted to the re-
quirements of the lawn lunch the water
melon is supreme and the table upon
whose proud center rests the noble fruit,
its green and glossy side cleft to show the
rosy pulp within, is already decorated.
Upon the cutting of the melon depends
much of its success, and there are many
ways. A favorite and decorative fashion
is to divide it by cutting about the center
in points, separating the fruit into two
pieces with "vandyked" edges. What
could be more fashionable? If the fruit be
firm and pink the choicest pieces may be
cut into little cubes and these be piled on
a platter spread with napkin. Such a
platter must stay in the icechest to the last
moment, that the edges Of the rosy cubes
may not wilt. Folks there be who will in
sist on eating sugar with this fruit, and
others. more sensible, demand salt; so, to
please all, both may be at hand, but 1t
would be an insult to the melon to say that
either is essential. Jamaica ginger-weH,
that isn't to be served, but it's well to
know what shelf the bottles on, for like
other mediums of dissipation the melon
sometimes brings blue moments.
Every one knows that when the center
of the halves have thus been cut away the
hollow left may be filled with wine, the
halves returned to the icechest, reappear-
ing with the rounded ends cut little so
the fruit will stand firm. A dainty dipper
and scoop are used to serve this water
melon punch, and the delicious, almost
frappe liquid. with little scooped-up pieces
of the fruit afloat IN it, is served in cut
glass, or just as well in the tall, thin
glasses that can be bought so cheaply and
are so pretty. A little slice of lemon, one
of orange and perhaps tiny tuft of mint
will decorate the top of the glass and coax
the vanquished participation to take great
deal more than he should and so prove
the punch a success.
While no fruit is more decorative, every
care must be taken that the dishes upon
which it is served must not become sloppy,
nor the fruit saturated with mess of
floating Juice and seeds. Either the Juice
and fruit, cut or scooped, must be regarded
as dish in itself and be served as from the
hollow of the fruit itself, or else the meat
separated from the rinds must be kept dry
and be freed from seeds. The rind of the
melon cut in little new moons, the pink
pulp all smoothly removed, may be boiled
till it is clear pulp, green and all, but not
long enough to let it begin to fall to pieces.
This allowed to cool in a punch of spiced
sherry and the whole brought to an almost
icy temperature will then separate, the
new moons, now delicious, quivering, half
transparent segments, to be eaten with
cake like an ice; the punch, so delcately
favored that only connOisseur will recog-
niZe the cause. to appear in cups.

FASHIONS FOR MEN.

Not very long ago I was considerably
amused at hearing certain young man
announce that all his clothes came from
Poole, and his air and manner indicated
that we should be duly impressed; but his
clothes-well, no one would want an Eng
lish outfit If his are correct over there. How
ever, perhaps his garments did come from
Poole, for the great original and ''only"
Poole has been dead a considerable time
and the establishment has gone to pieces,
none of tne swagger set ever going there
now, as there are half score of tailors far
more fashionable; SO, my young friend.
when you cross the pond next time patron
ize some one else if you want to appear to
have any shape or style to you.
The principal fault of the New York
tailor is his intense love of padding, and
only quite lately has he begun to discard
much of it, and the admission is generally
made. even by Britishers. that our best
tailors finish clothes better than theirs do
and they certainly should when the i'm
mense difference in price is considered.
But, again, the English tailor carefully
studies the figures of his. patrons, while
ours are frequently careless. For instance,
a rotund figure is not improved when
attired in rough coat, and short man in
long-skirted coat cuts an absurd figure,
although many OF them are evidently not
aware of this fact.
I have heard the remark that London
clothes are all loose and baggy, and have
huge checks. To be sure, many garments
come to this country that are correctly so
described, but where did they come from?
I mean who made them? Everything de-
ponds on this. Many Americans return
from the English capital with hideous
garments because they went to the wrong
man.
We scarcely ever see in our streets the
patent-leather buttoned boots SO generally
worn in Piccadilly and in New York. They
look well, but wiring sensitive feet terri
bly,.
Speaking about London at this season of
the year make, me think of the Thames,
and that reminds me of fashion, in vogue
some ten years ago, of wearing, when boat
ing, white shirts, high collars, black and
satin ties Now this style has lately been
revived in this country; indeed, it was
only few days ago, while visiting Belve-
dere, that saw one of our rising young
