Succeeded, and at the beginning of the

on Il new career of prosperity by means
of his great wealth. He had only one
child, a son, and his plan was to mar

MOST FEMININE OF TREES.
The Birch Seems to Take a Delight In
Theatrical Effects.

The birch, above all our American
trees. delights in theatrical effects.
And If that sentence is objected to on
the ground of pathetic fallacy,' we
will commit the whole sin at once and
add that it is the most feminine Of
trees.
In earliest spring. when the hepati-
cas- are pushing up last years leaves
and our Berkshire mountain sides are
looming their frail, delicate wells Of
color. the young birches are c%onspicu-
GUS for the startling brightness of their
new foliage, a green so much lighter
and more vivid than all the other
green's that it would arrest attention
even if it were not borne on a o
white stem.
Your young birch has all the daring
of a debutante.
Later. when the summer thunder
storms come, the birch has another
trick up its sleeve. Some afternoon q
dark. gunmetal thunder head will mass
behind the crest Of Il hill, and sudden
ly an old birch on the summit will
leap into startling prominence, so that
il focuses the entire attention, like a
single splendid streak of chalk white
lightning.
Again, in midWinter. when the birch
by rights should be protectively color
ed and inconSpicuous, ii is the other
trees we do not notice, and the birch
tree rises by the edge OF the frozen
stream. perhaps, or against the dark
wall of the pines and displays all its
snowy limbs to best advantage against
evergreen or Sky. Walter Prichard

The object of the player in the mid

the whistle which is really blown.

In and Out of the Children's Playroom
where NAMES COME FROM.

Once upon a time given names were
the only names in use. One was Tom,
Dick OF Harry, and that was all there
was about it. Our present
arose from nicknames. says the Amer
lean Boy. Thus Tom the Tailor be-
anne in time Tom Taylor, and his de-
scendants used Taylor as a family
name. The most familiar of our sur
names We're taken from the occupa-
ions of u forefathers, as Smiths.
Bakers. Brewers, etc. Many men NOV
ing to new towns had the name of the
place from which they had come fas-
tened upon them. Others took name
like Pope. King and Bishop from play
ing those parts in plays. Hogg and
Bacon are simple. Purcell developed
from lourcel. meaning little pig. Tod
lean fox. Fitchie was polecat. and SO
the keen student of language traces
the beginnings of our names in the old
dialects.
