Girls Name.

The popular name of girls" said Chief Clerk of Probate Sam Blake yesterday, lis unmistakably Mary. More than one eighth of the names in marriage licenses rejoice in that appellation The favorite names are in this order: Mary, Anna, Maggie, Kate, Elizabeth, Sarah, Carrie, Clara, Rosie and Emma.
 "The popularity and unpopularlty of names change as do most other things in this world. Names that were popu- lar before the war are unpopular now, but the leading name then was, as now, Mary. It seems to be a name that wears well, suitng all times and all cir cumstances.
 Margaret or Maggie and Katherine or Katie are both gaining in popularity. Sarah is another time name that holds out we'll. Current novels present a good many supposedly popular girl names, but the records in the probate office do not sustain the claim-such names as Adele, Beatrice, Constance, Dora, Deborah, Daisy Dollie. Fife, Hortense, Hannah, HIilda, Irene, Jessie, Nellie, Olivia, Sybil, Ruth and Winifred."

COMMENTS ON A.1N AND
 MATTERS OF THE WORLl

KN Rs. DE PERKINHEYsER IVl spatts was conceded to be ne plus ultra in the elect set of Titusvile. Her gowns were regal, her demeanor before the public most impress sive and her expenditures immense. She entertained as only Mrs. De Perkinheyser Spatts could entertain, said those who were invited, and her word was au- thoritative in all matters appertaining to the chosen few Mrs. De Perkinheyser deserved all the more credit for her sue cess in the social world because she had formerly officiated at lace counter It was the lnekiest moment in her life when the eye of MT. De Perkinheyser Spatts, the noted captain of finance and philanthropst, fell upon her. It had been matter of some five or six years since Mrs. De Perkinheyser Spatts was elevated to her present station by due process of marriage but you would have thought that 1t had been more than twenty. In fact, she had forgotten the occurrence herself and only the meanest of her aequaintanees reminded Mrs. De Perkinheyser that she had ever belonged to the shop girls union. The crowning triumph of Mrs. De Perkinheyser Spatt' S career came when she put up the bars against Mrs. Ellington Bangs. who had recently become the wife of a million aire, being a recruit from the chorus. It was inspiring to note the contempt with which Mrs. De Perkinheyser Spatts looked upon Mrs. Ellington Bangs. "The idea of such a thing presuming?' etc. Mrs. Spatts and Mrs. Bangs fought it out and Mrs Bangs eventually won, Now Mrs. Bangs is scheming to exclude Mrs. Cofington Barns, who was at one time cashier in a restaurant, but now aspres to social honors.

"The Liberty Bellies. I"

The first act of "The Liberty Bellies
usually puzzles the audience. At the
beginning it has no apparent cOnnec-
tion with the plot; there is a lot of
odd incomprehensible dialogue, an inn
mense amount of stage business of no
apparent connection with any plot.
A queer scramble for pie and cake and
pickles laid out on the floor and a rush
back to bed by 90 or % young women
in their nightgowns. One girl is dis
covered to have rugged an electric
light to take TO bed to read her novel
with; another has fastened the photo
of an actor to her bedpost; Cuban
girl is seen smoking cigarette before
turning in. 1t is bit of school life
which is not down in the curriculum
which is forbidden to every masculine
eye. Here dainty Miss Pink Pajam-
as and her night-robed friends hold
sway. The Chicago Herald said: st
is indeed marvel of stage manage
ment. One latest touch of suggestive
ness would spoil it, but instead,
throughout all is permeated the fra
GRANGE of innocent girlhood, and purity
is the keynote of the great success of
this play. Some forty people comprise
the company, including the Radiun
Ballet dancers, speciality performers
and comedians.
