The East, however, reversed the ar
rangement and Natalia is popular
there. while her husband is forgotten.
Natalia was one of the favored
Greek Christian names. Russia adopt
ed her and, adding the usual con-
sonants Of its language, calls her
Nataliia. Nataschenka, and Natascna.
The first of the three names is ex-
tremely popular there today, or until
the Bolsheviki came into power and
withdrew the attention of etymologists
from the study of feminine names.
France is said to have secured
Natalie from Russia, though there is
record of a Natalie at Cambria in
1912 England preferred Natalie to
any of the other forms, rejecting
Natalia as too Latin in its influence.
Whether American Natalies are rep
resentative of the English, or taken
] direct from France, is a matter of
personal preference.
The pearl OF purity is Natalie's
! talismanic gem. 1t promises good
fortune for its wearer and makes her
gentle kind, and lovable. Thursday
is her lucky day and her lucky
number.

there are a lot of people neverthe-

that they do not give the subject sur

and again, Smith, know my mother"
To be sure this answered the pur-
pose and as every one was very happy
on the occasion it probably didn't
make much difference how the intro
duction was made. But the form was
far from courteous.
In the first place a man should al
ways present or introduce his men
friends to his mother, or any other
woman, and he should use form Of
introduction that shows that he is
making the introduction in this way.
Moreover the abrupt. manner of say
ing simply, "Meet Mr.. Brown" or
"Know my friend JONES'" which has
recently become so popular is really
too abrupt to be in good form for any
purpose save possibly for men to in
troduce men to each other in a pure
ly business connection. 1t should
never be used in introducing women.
The right way for the young soldier
to have gone about it would have
been to say, Mother, / want to pre-
sent Sergeant Jones'" "Jones," this is
my mother" or "Let me introduce
Sergeant Jones to you, mother; Ser
geant Jones I wish to present you to
my mother" In a case like this 1t
is not necessary to give the mothers
name. The only occasion where it
would be, would be in the case the
mother, through remarriage, bore q
name different from the one of the
son who introduced her. )

by a to 3 Score

Eight errors by the Amboy team
were mainly responsible for the VIC
tory of the All Collegians of New
York over the local representative
team in the game on the Raritan
Copper Works field yesterday after
noon. The final score of the game
was, 4-3. All four runs were handed
to The Collegians on errors, after
Amboy had assumed a two-run lea
in the first inning of the game.
Harry chunk" Apologize occu-
pied the mound for the Amboy team
and turned in one of the best per-
formances of the season. He allow
ed seven hits, well scattered except
in the first inning. Ten of the Col
legian batters famed the breeze and
nary a pass was issued. Scarlet, h
New Workers pitcher, was touched
for the same number of hits, and
three also came in the first inning.
He famed four men and walked
three. Kane and James led the
locals at the bat, while Keyton and
Massett featured with the willow for
the winners. Neither side made an
extra base hit.
The first three men to face Apple
gate got on base safely. the first two
on clean singles, and the third when
he beat out an infield hit which was
meant to be a sacrifice. The fourth
batter lined to Apologize who
doubled the lead-off man off third.

second when the right fielder let the
ball roll to the fence. Mickey"

when Kane's batted ball mounded in
a fuky and went through
the first baseman, the batter holding
first. Fullerton sacrificed Kane to
second from where he scored on
James single to left.
The visitors first scoring came in
the third stanza. After one man
grounded out. Keyton singled to
center, went to second on a passed
ball, to third when Kane fumbled
Ga1lagher's batted ball, and home
when Silver missed Mazurek's throw
to get him at the plate. Gallagher
went to third on the latter play and
home when Silver hit Little on the
back, when the latter runner at
tempted to steal second.
Two more runs were added to the
visitors count in the fourth after
one was down. James fumbled Mas
sett's grounder, and the Amboy first
baseman missed Fullerton's throw to
get Oberman at first, Massett going
to third. Silver's wild throw to sec
ond to get Oberman allowed Massett
to score with the fourth run Of the
game.

runner from reaching that station.
The failure of the Amboy team to

SOUTH AMBOY, July 1.-THE

to complete the trick. Up until the
seventh inning the score was tied,
and again in the ninth both sides
evened up, but the tenth told a diff
ferent story for pinch hitters were
used freely and with good results.
The main feature of the game
was the pitching of both Roberts, Of
the E%rnstons, who struck out fifteen
OF the Jnuiors batters and allowed
only a few scattered hits, and also
of Carl Mullins. Poor support for
Mullins when the game was nearly
sewed up lost 1t.

game will be arranged in the near
