"All parents have the right to call . €& ‘eb 2 THe, thelr children what name they like, but unconsciously they are forming tho character of that child by their decision. . "For instance, the parent who names his unfortunate child Algernon ts unwittingly causing him much future suffering "Very few Algernons succeed In life, and this has been so for years, How it began no one knows, but probably in the remote past some Algernon was a fool. "Now what the world assumes a man to be, the man, unless ho {s a very strong man, usually becomes. And to name an infant Algernon handicaps him severely. "On the other hand Alexander is a name which those who bore it In the Past have made famous and successful. Witness Alexander the Great, and the feminine of it, the present gracious English Queen. Consequently a person bearing that name {ts assumed to be Boing to be great and, finding this, generally manages to live up to the exbectations of his or her friends and relations. Augustus and Frederick are other Instances of successful names. "So it ie with girls. Fancy a girl with the name of Peach Smith-Pea ch is becoming quite a common name, I am told.

From girdle to Strap the clinging satin {s lald in close folds that shimmer with every motion of the wearer and fall in waves of shadow and glistening light down upon the floor. Of course the blue hat is trimmed with black velvet and black Plumes, with a gold and green cabochon upon one side almost big enough to cover the bluebooted foot that peeps out from the hem of this one-piece gown. Blue satin forms the foundation of tho ekin-Ulght robe in figure C, Just why Let me whisper D lue? the secret that blue-If dark enough-tends to make a woman look several times as slender as she would appear if swathed in brown, or yellow or almost any other color This graceful gown, then, Is built to make a thin woman, tgnorant of the arts of dress, look like a telegraph pole, while any other woman would appear in it exquisitely fragile and willowy. Black gauze is draped and drawn over blue satin so that the movement of the combination is like that of a wave with the shadow of a cloud resting upon it. It is fitted to the figure means of folds laid in the gauze down the right side toward the front, and the left sido toward the back. One must be born with a figure or a purse to dare attempt so strong an accent upon clearly-defined feminine outlines. In a long point, at front and back, hangs the black gauze overskirt, not the least marvel In its conStruction belng the full drapery that falls from beneath the lower folds. Glittering from the dusk of black and blue shine two big buttons of gold-knotted braid, and the bottom of the overskirt is en- riched with a broad band of gold embroidery picked out with blue. Gold-embroidered black lace forms a yoke of very mesh which terminates in sleeves, faced in the edges The startling note of the costume is the band of pink satin that lies acréss the bust. <A dark facing to the hat of Neapolitan straw renders more vivid the touch of pink in the garnitures of blue and gold with the Frenchy and fashionable twist of black velvet around the crown, that make up the trim- mings usual open open of this finishing touch to an un- costume. Good-bye to gaping plackets and Placket-fasteners that aro forever coming off and disclosing the present lack of underwear to any passer-by on the street!

That doesn't mean that there {s no more dress to be mentioned. Far from it! In lleu of side gores hang double pleats from the short-walsted bodice to the foor. sash that passes upper part of the lower skirt and appears outside the front and back of the upper one. Fancy a sash that is hidden on each side by curved points of the gown coming up and fastening to the bodice over it!
