Yes, the first point I wish to make is that a woman child, once baptised Margaret, is thereby insured of a suitable name. Be she grave or gay in after life, wanton or pious or sullen, comely or otherwise, there will be no possible chance of incongruity; whether she develop a taste for winter gardens or the higher mathematics, whether she take to golf or clinging organdies, the event is provided for.

"Miss Hugonin pouted. 'You needn't, be such a grandfather,' she suggested helpfully." "Regarded them with alert eyes" THE EAGLE'S SHADOW I This is the story of Margaret Hugonin and of the Eagle. And with your permission, we will for the present defer all consideration of the bird, and devote our unqualified attention to Margaret. I have always esteemed Margaret the obvious, sensible, most appropriate name that can be bestowed upon a girl-child, for it is a name that fits a woman--any woman--as neatly as her proper size in gloves.
