There are some affectations, ' Mrs. James worthy, which . give me a hor izontal pain in my shoulderblade, and the worst of them is this thing of givng foreign spelling and pronunciation to our home grown names, There isn't a finer or statelier name in the city di rectory than Mary. The most dis tinguished woman this world ever saw had that name, and It was good enough for her. “Any woman who tries to rear range such a name as that has some thing wrong with her intellect, and I’d be afraid to have her under my roof. At any moment she might be come a gibbering maniac. “When I was young all the good old fashioned names were in evidence everywhere. The woods were full of Elizabeths and Dorcases and COUGHS AND COLDS often tenacious, are a drain upon the vital forces.

Just today 1 was gf–ncing over the newspaper and saw some mention of a woman who calls herself Elyzabeth. Now, I wondel what that ‘s’ is doing there. Sane people don’t spell Elizabeth with a ’y,’ and in the grand old days the people wouldn’t have stood for such an in novation. But in these modern times ail the institutions of our fathers and mothers are being overturned, and If a girl is so fortunate as to receive a stately name at her christening, she devotes the best years of her life to overhauling it, so it will look like something escaped from a feeble-mind ed institution. “There is no law to prevent women from maltreating their names, so we can’t rebuke then* by process of war rant, but we can at least set our faces against the fool custom and close our doors to the guilty parties.. I am a man of hospitable instincts, and would welcome to my abode the veriest beg gar or social outcast, but no Marie, Kathryn or Mae will ever enter this house while I have strength to resist. When I see them coming I’ll sell my life as dearly as possible, Mrs. James worthy. "My sainted mother was the smoothest woman I ever knew. Tak ing her by and large, pro and con, she stacked up about as high as anyone. She never tried to cut a swath in so cial circles, for she had a profound contempt for everything that was tri fling or superficial and she had a rev erence for old ways and customs. “Her front name was Isabella, and she wore it, without any frills or fur belows, as long as she lived. She never sent that name to the upholster er or taxidermist to have it made over. She realized that famous queens and other great women wore that name, and she was proud of It. You might have argued her into having her hair shingled or her front teeth pulled out, but If you had suggested rearranging her name she’d have thought your proper place was the booby hatch. Her name was a treasured possession, an heirloom morel precious than the fam ily jewels. “The name Isabella lends Itself to mutilation and transposition more than any other. Modern women, blessed with that magnificent name, can't rest until they have telescoped It, so we have Isabels and Isbells and Ysobels and half a dozen other variants, each being more Idiotic than the others. Whenever I think of the way my moth er hung on to Isabella I feel a new respect and admiration for that grand old woman, and I wish she were hero today, to make the round of the Chau tauquas, and point out to young wom en their duties and privileges.” The Road to Happiness You mu st keep well If you wish to be happy.
