SHE CAUGHT COLD IN HER FRONT NAME.

I have seen a young lady try faithfully for years to live down one of

these flimsy, cheesecloth names, but the harsh world would not have it.

A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and while I can

imagine your little girl in future years as a white-haired and lovely

grandmother, wearing the name of Mary or Ruth, with a double chin

that seems to ever beckon the old gentleman to come and chuck his fat

forefinger under it, I cannot, in my mind's eye, see her as a household

deity, wearing a white cap and the name of Rosette or Penumbra, or

Sogodontia, or Catalpa, or Voxliumania.
