Nice New Launch.
The young man who was Johnny on
his yacht last year Is Johnny on his

and duck trousers and was going to
have his yacht later. he made good
~s TO the yacht. and his nautical toys
are fortunately but little the worse
for wear, says the New York sun.

store he tried TO think OF name--
something just right. not 30 swift as
Arrow, Meteor or Comet. not 80 domes-

boastful as Dreadnought or Storm
King something neat and approprists
for just that sort OF boat and II posi-
BILE something different from the name
OF any other craft anoat.
In his perplexity he sought out the
summer girl who had admired his ap-
pearance In his breezy sea toys last
season and asked her 10 think up =
name for his new craft. which he do

requesting an early reply as to the six-
nincance Of the name.
Mr.. Munroe answered promptly. He
wrote that the name was highly ap-
