Show Naming the Child. (Baltimore American.) Now. necessarily, when the new girl baby arrived there was much discussion-among discussion-among the members of the family as to what her name should be. "We will call her Geraldina.' " said the fond mother. "Why not call her 'Esmeralda'?" asked the first grandmother. "I saw that name in a story once, and always wanted to try it on a baby." "Oh," murmured the second grandmother, grand-mother, "that would never do. Let us call her 'Fanchon.' " "But don't you think 'Eltessa' is a pretty name, and so odd, too?" put In one of the aunts. "Excuse me, ladies," ventured the poor father, who sat near by, "but you seem to forget we are trying to find a name for a human being, and not for a 5-cent cigar." |
