Breeze?" ..tn -..' ~
Eyes, indeed; and 1t is most natural
name for the child" was the reply.

ito him. said the other. you see. the
family name is Storm. Before she was
married the mothers name was Wind
Augusta Wind. Upon marriage her
name became Storm, of course, making
1t Wind-Storm. Now, when the little
gifl was born they were puzzled about
selecting name. They could not agree
until some one said a little Wind
Storm might be called a Breeze The
little one fs just like her mother-and a
little 'Gusta Wind is"
But the new neighbor wouldn't stay to
