OId-FOShiOnGd Names

Araminta and their ilk have fallen into
cold disfavor. Evidently good mammas

Mary is a name more often heard now
among girls of IS and Whereabouts than
since their grandmothers were girls. Ii
Is a good, strong title, with a. grace and
character Of its own which has been
quite overlooked in the food OF more
ornate cognomens.

Devotion to Blooded
Horses VaniSheS After
First Real Ride.

Blanche Bates, famous as an eques-
trienne, has for several years raised her
voice in bitter protest against the motor
car-both as an incident TO sport and as
a means Of locOmotion. The horse she
declared was good enough for her, and
the arguments Of friends who have
succumbed to the seductive tcot Of the
automobile horn and joined the ranks
or the motorists seemed to have but
little effect upon her.
Last summer. which Miss Bates spent

Almost without exception the coats
are fastened with regular buttons, in

The fashion is an attractive one and
the coats look far better.
On velvet and fur coats the jeveled
silver and rhinestone buttons are most
effective. while on the more fanciful
waists the jeweled buttons add greatly
to the finished effect.
But there are not many buttons used
at one time, and, apparently, they are
not intended as trimmings, but merely
to combine the practical with the ef-

Tennyson's Cynic;an,,

Sir We're de We're was the eldest soE
Of Sir Aubrey de We're, the sonnctecr
and friend OF Wordsworth. His broth
er, Aubrey de We're, was a more than
we'll known, famous poet, and to
him in his youth Walter Savage Ian
dor addressed the eXhortation:
Mako thy proud name still prouder for
thy sons.
He had no sons, however, never hav-
ing married. Neither had his brothers,
We're and Stephen. Thus the name, as
family name, disappears.
The De Veres were early friends Of
Tennyson's, and it was from them
that the poet took the name which he
made proverbial and symbolical Of a
class-"the caste Of We're de Vere"
Lady de We're, the only Lady de We're
Of fact then living, was inclined to
complain that her name should be be-
slowed upon the black hearted Lady
Clara Of fiction.
Tennyson wrote dainty verses, but
was not master Of dainty manners. He
growled: "Why should you care? But
Of course you don't. 1 didn't make
your namesake ugly, and didn't make
her stupid. I only made her wicked"

She Was an EASY Mark"

"Did you intend to give me this?'
asked a steward on one Of the steam
ers Of woman passenger who just
, tipped him. "This" was bright new
penny.
The woman, looking amazed and
embarrassed, said: "No, ! didn't give
you that. l gave you $3.50 gold
piece. didn't I?' -"
"Thats what thought you meant to
give me. | was sure you had made a
mistake" said the man. The woman
with an apology. took the penny and
gave him gold piece. Then she went
! back to her stateroom to count her
money and to try to understand.
1t came to her all right. She remem-
bered two years before on her home
ward trip a fellow passenger had told
how the steward had come to her with
new penny given him by mistake,
the steward said, and she had made it
good.
1t was a little late then-she had
been an "easy mark" and she knew it
and it wouldn't do bit of good to
object. She did tell the purser, who
promised to Investigate. She knew,
too, what that meant-New York Sum-

The Rise of a Painter.


Only painters looked long at the pic.
ture which Eugene Carriere exhibited
at the salon of 1877, and for dozen
years afterward, while his portraits
and his studies of children and women
steadily gained in distinctive charac-
ter, they puzzled and repealed the un-
wary, says Henry Copley Greene in
the Century. Their merging varied
colors in single tone, their dissolving
of sharp contours in smoke hued mist,
suggested either insincerity or myopic
vision. Yet little by little Carriere i'm
pressed first few artists and critics,
then part of the public, then even
the ministry Of fine arts. In 1880 he
was decorated, and in the next year,
when his paintings were seen at the
then new Salon du Champ de Mars
isolated in single group, Carriere be-
gan to be more widely understood. Els
fervid sincerity reverberating, as it
were, from picture to picture destroy
ed all suspicion of pose, and as his
technic grew familiar the SCULPTURE
esque sondtty of his heads and figures
appeared through that mist in proof Of
bis genius Of eye and hand.

They Needed the Medicine.

Some years ago a railway was be.
ing made in the west Of Scotland, and
it was arranged that each Of the nu.
merous laborers employed should pay
a penny per week to medical prac-
titioner, SO that they might have his
services in the event Of accident or
medicine in case of illness.
During the summer and autumn nci-
their illness nor accident occurred.
But when a severe winter followed
all at once the 'navigators'' began to
call on the doctor for castor oil.
Each brought his bottle, into which
an ounce was poured, until the oil was
exhausted, and the doctor was forced
to send to town for further supply.
When that, too, was getting low the
doctor one day quietly asked a healthy
looking fellow what was wrong with
the men that they required so much
castor Oil.
Nothing wrong at all, DOCTOR" he re-
piled, "but we grease our boots with
it."-London Chronicle.

Another Reason.

An English clergyman visiting in
this country told of jilting that had
happened in his parish. He said that
he. had an appointment to marry a
couple at 4 on certain afternoon. He
appeared duly, and the bride appeared,
but not the bridegroom. The clergy
man and the lady, silent and embar-
raised, waited in the quiet church
from till g. Then they sadly depart
ed. A week later the same couple
wrote to the clergyman again, ap-
pointing another afternoon at 4 for
the ceremony. And again the clergy
man and the bride were on hand duly
and again the groom failed to turn up.
AS the two waited time passed slowly
in the still and empty church. 1t
grew darker. Five o'clock sounded,
then 6. And then the bride broke the
silence with fierce ejaculation.
"Drat him!' she cried. "'Tain't his
trousers this time, cause I bought
him a pair"
