NAMING OF THE CHILDREN.
Absurdities of Present Customs are
largely Due to Ignorance.


Largely Due to Ignorance.
with the beginning of the next
century, 1000 A d., let us hope to see
a change of custom by the enlightened
people of that period as regards the
naming of children" remarked a we'll
dressed man in the lobby of an up
town hotel this morning.
Perhaps personal names may be
done away with by that time" sug-
gested another gentleman, 'and some
personal designation adopted which
will be more satisfactory and definite
than in use now; one BETTING the
great advance in civilization and re-
finement then attained. For instance,
let US offer a prayer that in 1000 A. d.

brief example there are in the Wash
ington city directory forty-eight
William JOhnsOns, eighteen John
Smiths .forty-fve William Joneses
and twenty-five William Greens, to
say nothing of the innumerable other
similar cases of repetitions.
Another senseless feature as re-
gard names is where an engraved
piece of paste board is flashed under
our plebieian eyes and our intellects
are benumbed with awe as we read
something like this: Mrs. Reginald
Ronaldson ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
One is as senseless as the other, and
II would certainly sound startling

strokes carTiagei' The hyphenated re-
peated name, alas, is growing in pop
ularity in some quarters, but ordinary
mortals look upon the affectation as
absurd and worthy of the ridicule It
receives.
"Repetitions and similarity Of names
result largely from lack of original
ity on the part of parents and also
from parental pride. The same old
titles are handed down from father to
son ad libitum for generations. In
a few generations more, if the prac-
tice is kent NJ, there will be, for III

be as much in keeping as John Smith,

"As confusing and objectionable as
is this practice, however, it is not so

similar coincidence, four of these IN
