NAMES AND PEOPLE What's in a name? Nothing, Absolutely nothing, Names more often describe the christener than the christened, Certain types of par- ents are partial to certain names and unless the child inherits the traits of its parents its Christian name may have no connection whatever with its character or physical make-up, Parents name their children before they have the slightest notion what the child will turn out like, By the laws of choice and chance some children are appropriately named but as a whole the prevailing method of christening is haphazard and inaccurate, It is hard to believe the "authorities" who maintain that one's name has a lasting in- THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, FRIDAY, AUGUST 3, 1928 fluence on one's whiole life and that the child's destiny is sealed on its day of christening, In refutation of the theory are the common. place names. that have become famous and the commonplace people with unusual names. Under the system of christening a name is not a description, but merely a means of identification. The Thomases are no greater | doubters than the Johns and Henrys, nor are the Violets more modest than girls other wise christened. Who would have expected an. Algernon to turn out a Swinburne and whe would have looked to a John Keats to . write the "Ode to a Grecian Urn" The practice of literary men, artists and theatrical people of discarding names their parents gave them for names of their own choosing is no proof that names have a mysterious influence on lives, Rather, it shows that man is always trying to see more than actually exists. EDITORIAL NOTES Women always look their best to find a man, If you must reduce, try being a dejected lover, Some individuals do not know how to get along amiably because they never tried it. Worrying about the past is wasting the present given you for looking forward to the future, The harm others may do to a man's repu. tation is not so serious as what he can do to his character, Even an old-fashioned girl hates to think a man married her for nothing but a talent for manufacturing meals, Twenty years ago what man believed the Police Gazette would ever be routed from bar- ber shops by Vogue and the Woman's Home Companion? Bit of Verse BROKEN DREAMS If all the dreams of your heart get broken, And all the laughter of life lies dead; If words you crave are the words unspoken, And nothing seems left but the battle for bread; If days swing by, but you've lost their beau- ties, And feet plod tired, where they used to dance, Remember you still have a brave soul's ties Where nothing is chance, du- left to a blundering You yet can smile, tho' your lips may trem- ble, You yet can sing, and can hide the break, And, facing your world, you ran get dis- semble And show pluck's cheer, tho' your heart may ache, Jobs can be done, and be done with valor, Chums can be helped, and be helped with grit; So spite of the loss of a golden glamor, Tackle your work and get on with it!

POCKETS (Hamilton Herald) A female correspondent of the New York Times suggests that it is time that men had a proper cos- tume and suggests the adoption of a two-piece garment consisting of loose-fitting trousers and a belted tunie of the Russian blouse type with bishop sleeves and a low, at- tached collar. She thinks endless variety and charm might he effect. ed in the materials used and in the decoration of the belt- collar and cuffs. But she says nothing about pockets. What are garments with- out pockets? She does not realize that the persistence of the present type of masculine clothing 1s due to its capacity to carry the maxi- mum number of pockets. When a woman knows the joy of having fifteen pockets concealed about her person she will demand the use of the masculine garb inde- pendent of style and beauty and all other attributes. GREAT CHANCE HERE (New York Times) Among the devices of English newspapers to win circulation by offers of insurance and hy other inducements, a new form of éomn- test, is reported. It is the proposal to award £4,000 in prizes to read- ers or subscribers who will send in photographs of themselves, with first place to go to the ugliest face and the next, next. If this is not meant as a joke, it is precisely the reverse of the ordinary 'heauty contest." In the scheme there might he a subtle appeal to advertisers as well as purchasers of the paper, To the address of each homely con- testant, the face-lifters and the beauty specialists would instantly send their preseriptions. There would he a rush to show how twist- ed lips could he straightened and tish-like eyes filled with soulful emotion, Thus ugliness could be made for good trade. It is not stated under what con- ditions the photographs are to he taken and sent in. ould an appii- cant be allowed to distort his fea- tures, or must he be snapped un- wittingly "as 18?" One could eas- fly imagine that the first prize might go tn a lady who was taken registering' 'intense disgust when asked to be a candidate among the ugliest women in England. CAN'T AFFORD IT NOW (London Daily Mail) Our young women are discover. Ing that the modern young man gives far fewer presents to the girl, or girls, whom he adores than did his father or his grandfather. Although Victorian young women were 'always warned never to ae- cept presents fromr men they did very well indeed in the matter of flowers and hooks--the form whieh gifts usually took in those days. Thirty years ago the arrival of an admirer with a bouguet in his hand was a matter of course, and many were the baskets of flowers which London florists were instructed to leave at Miss Adorable's house, That pleasant kind of gift almost to heve vanished. The florists have few such orders to fulfill nowadays. Instead. the modern young man offers choco- lates, a eweet which the modern girl who wants to keep her sylph-like figure is shy of eat- ing! or be gives her the casuar freedom of his cigarette case. The reason for this change we are told, is that in the old days a young man spent practically noth- ing on entertaining a girl, but now, with dinner for two at a fashion- able restaurant, stalle at anything up to a guinea each. and then a dance club. there is no money left for flowers.
