A prize fighter named Job caused
much more than the usual mirth al the

by reminders that he bore the name of

The name that fitted snUgly upon the
wee human sits but clumsily upon the
man or woman. While individual rights
are the blazing topic II seems that
chld's right should be considered.
Names might be tentatively given.
The child might be named Nary or
John with the provision that when said
child reaches the age of twenty
years ne or she may become Reginald
or GWendOlin, f the developed roman
tic tendencies do not accord with plain
names for practical folk. Or II for no
reason more definite than that some
persons dislike cauliflOwer and that
cabbage does not agree" with others
the names bestowed at birth smite pain
fully upon their ears-if for some rea-
son they prefer TO be Frank Josie, then
by all means graciOusly grant them the
privilege. Life furnishes enough han
dicaps without the embarrassment Of
an iu-fitting, or the irritation OF an
uncongenial name.
