QUAINT COLONIAL NAMES.

How the O6spring Of Our First Colo
nists Were Christened.
It Is an interesting study to trace the
underlying reason for many Of the Gu
rious names which are given to the OF.
spring Of the first colonists. Parents
searched for names Of deep signif.
cance-for names appropriate to con-
ditions. for those of profound innu-
ence presumably on the child's life.
The Rev. Richard Buck. one Of the
early parsons in Virginia. In days Of
deep depression, named his first child
Mara. This text indicates the reason
for his choice: Gall me Mara, for the
Almighty has dealt very bitterly with
me. l went out full, and the Lord has
brought me home empty" His second
child was christened Gershom - for
Moses wife bare him son and called
his name dcrshom, for he said have
been In strange land"
Many names have pathos and sad
ness which can be felt down through
the centuries. Dame Dinely, widow Of
q doctor, or barber surgeon, who had
died in the snow while striving to visit
q distant patient. named her poor babe
Fathergone.
The children Of Roger Clapp were
named Experience, Waitstill, Preserv-
ed. Hopestill, Wait, Thanks, Decide,
Unite and Supply. Madam Austin. an
early settler Of old Narragansett, had
Is children. Their names were ParyiS,
Picus. Piersus, Prisemus, Polybius,
Lois, Lettuce, Avis, Ansticc. Eunice,
Mary, John, Elizabeth, Ruth, Freelove.
All lived to be threescore and ten, one
to be 1O2 years old. Edward Bendalrs

Ing Clothes.

Some Needed Pointers as to Proper Evcn-
Vogue
There are certain rules or customs
which have come to be quite generally
accepted as regards the kind OF cnllar,
tie, waistcoat and shoes which are to
be worn with the two styles Of evening
clothes, and they must not be confused
or interohanged. To begin with the
collar, that worn with dinner jacket
may be of the straight.standing, poke.
pointed winged or high-banded, turn
down varieties, but that worn with
the long tailed coat should he only
either Of the first two mentioned shapes.
l have named four styles OF collars
which may be worn with the dinner
coat, but Of them there is choice,
and 1t lies between the straight-stan
ding and the high band turn down.
The turn-down is thu more unusual.
The winged shape, though becoming
more and more smart with morning
clothes, does not look well with the
tie which must be- worn with q dinner
jacket, and the puke. pointed collar is
more distinctly intended for full even
ing dress.
No other than white tie should
ever be worn with long led coat,
and no other than black tie should
ever be worn with dinner jacket. The
formula Is so simple, and by this time
IL should be SO we'll understood, that
mistake should be next to impu ssible.
The same rule may be laid down In
regard to waistcoats with this qua.ifica-
tion, that whereas q white waistooat
should not be worn with dinner jacket,
black waiatcoat is permissible with
the evening coat. / have been asked
as to whether OF not lie is correct, under

waistcoat with a dinner lnokes. |

is none. 1t is frequently done, | will

then the fact does not, In the slightest

with kid uppers is right for either.
Again, although pearl studs are smartes
for evening dress, plain gold are better
