For days Helen had been dreading the

BY MABEL HERBERT URNER.

Since the baby's birth, nothing had
been said about its name. For weeks
before, Helen had thought of count
less names. She had spent many hap,
py hours dreaming of what she could
call her baby-her beautiful, golden
haired, blue-eyed baby!
She had made a list of names and
talked them over with Warren. If it
were to be boy, she wanted most of
all to call it after it's father. But War
rem had vigorously protested. One
Warren" in the family. he said was
quite enough! And he believed in
giving children individual names of
their own. and not those of their par
ents.
This had killed secret hope that
Helen had long cherished that if it
should be little girl, he would insist
on calling it after her

But with their own names elimin-

certainly around many others. War
rem was inclined to the strong, old
fashioned names like John, Mary and
Elizabeth.
But Helen wanted something more
modern, and, as Warren said, more
romantic and novelish." Richard and
Winifred headed her list Warren
laughed. and said as long as she did
not insist on Reginald and Geraldine,

II was the first time any member

ansrilly.

Warren flushed. but refrained from
making any comment. There was
nothing to be gained by antagonizing
his father. He only wanted TO molIify

any further scene. He succeeded at

And do what young man may;
And l didn't believe thing
That the parsons have to say.
] didn't believe in a God
That gives us blood like fire,
Then filings us into hell because
We answer the call of desire.
And l said: Religion is rot,
And the laws of the world are nil;
For the bad man is he who is caught
And cannot foot his bill
And there is no place called hell;
And heaven is only a truth,
When man has his way with a maid,
In the fresh keen hour of youth.
"And money can buy us grace,
If it rings on the plate of the church; ;
And money can neatly erase
Each sign of sinful smirch.''

Hotfooting the road of vice;

lacked the necessities of life in order
that he might enjoy seeing his name
on the billboards with an imposing
row of figures after it.
All cared more for their own crea-
ture comforts than for the well-being
OF the wife who supplied them. All
complained loudly OF a little pain, and
there was not a man among them who
did not say often to his wife, Look,
what a burden our marriage has put
on my shoulders" taking no note OF
the greater burden bending her back.
All were selfish thinking only of the
qualification of their own desires and
showing a regard for others only in the
degree to which they supplied them.
There were few who had both physi-
cal and moral courage, and almost
none as good in their thoughts as the
law compelled them to be in their ac-
lions.
Then there passed before my eyes a
procession of women, patient under
long suffering, brave when every one
around them faltered, denying them
selves that they might give to those
they loved, cheerful and smiling when
there wasn't a scrap of hope left, in
spring, cheering, urging on the men
who walked beside them and throwing
arms of protecting tenderness around
husband and children,
