Gays is taking turn toward the good
old-fashioned names of our grand
mothers. The name is supposed in
some way to denote the character Of
the child and many times the selec-

There are names and names and all
OF the auntS and uncles and cousins
and friends have each a name for the
baby which is just the right one and
the question is usually settled by nam
ing her after some dear friend or rela-
tive The study Of names is quite an
interesting one and has a great deal
more significance than most people
suppose. In the English speaking
countries, as in lands where other
81 languages are spoken, there are Ger
tain feminine, and also certain mas
.culine first names that never will go
out of style. These of course, include
practically the entire list of Scriptural
names. Speaking here Of the feminine
more particularly, Sarah, Ruth, Mary,
Martha, and others that will at once
occur to the reader, are rooted deeply
in the worlds affections, although
they may take on somewhat different
forms IN Q1fferemt countries. IS some OF
these names, as, for instance, the Eng
lish Mary, the German Maria and the
Fernch Marie are. differentiated in
sound only by characteristic national
dialects Margaret is another name
that can be traced practically through
the nomenclature of all languages.
But, especially with regard to English
feminine names, there are certain
originals and deTivitives that from
time to time have come in and gone
out, disappeared and returned, like
fashions in general. One does. not need
to go back very far in literature. to-
find Nan and Peggy and Matilda and
Maria (English style) and Kittie and

parts. A little farther back judy,

there was a period of Henriettas, An
astasias, Juliets, Clarettes. etc, in
dicating that the French romantic
school held sway in names as in other
respects. Let it be said to the credit
of the colonial states of America that,
as rule, they have not been moved
by fads and fancies in feminine names.
They have clung, for example, to such
good old names as Dorothy, Hannah,

London Mem i'm Gray.

The gray tall hat was a popular
thing in this country in the '70's, as
many reader will remember. He will
be interested in the fact that the gray
top hat has come to its own again in
London this summer. Such hats are
regarded as "the thing" in the house
of commons, and are to be seen in in
creasing numbers at all fashionable
open-air gatherings, says London
special to the New York Herald. The
gray beaver follows the latest style
Of the ordinary tall hat, but is made
of felt with gray silver band instead
of black silk. This is revival of the
old order of things, but 1T used to be
the fashion here for young men to have
wide black bands encircle their gray
hats. Cool and pleasing is the thought
of London clad in gray hats and light
gray morning coat and trousers. The
gray hat came as the elimination of
the gray suitings, as II were. The top
notch Of London fashion adds gray
spats, socks and tie to complete the
picture.
