Naming a Home.

Naming a country place Is more diff
| fcult than naming baby. There are
so many pretty names that won't at
and so many fitting ones that are not
pretty! The most important step in
naming a place is to get one. Then

"Hickorynook" and your wife isn't
| convinced until friend Of yours In
the same place calls his home "Hick-
| ory Ridge That puts you out of the
| hickory race about the time that your
| wife is growing enthusiastic. You sit
on the front porch in the evening and
suggest names like "Crestnook," Sun
| set Lodge" "Laughalot," Rose Cot
age "Edgewood," "Crestlynn," and
| "Wierwood" but your wife snlffs at
zach and every one Of them. Then
you search the House Beautiful" for
| suggestions and end up by consulting
| he dictionary, a book OF synonyms
and the Holy Bible, but to no pur-
| pose
| Finally your wife begins TO make
suggestions, and you sniff at all her
names just to get even. When there
IS danger of her overriding your aur
thority and settling on "Heartsease,p'
| Jr "Fernbank," you roar boisterously
to laugh her out of court After forty
/ or fifty names have been rejected, you
! go to bed and dream you have the
| most appropriate handle that ever
graced a happy home, but by morning
YOU have forgotten it and have 10
