"Low far are you going" asked my follow traveller, as we came across the St. Gotthard, He looked puzzled. To Paris," I replied. Thea I recollected that he was an Italian and that he had told me he had never been out of Italy before. "Parigi," I said, smiling, and he knew at once what I meant.

She has saved up to buy it, and that is always so endearing. Her young man likes her in it, and thinks it adds distinction to their bearing as they walk out together on Sundays. The wealthy woman or girl pays for owes) the £200, and spends some of her time in wondering whether she would not have preferred some of the other costly conte displayed for her selection, There is more equality in things than the superficial observer might imagine.

Presently a long and important-looking train thundered in. On it were boards "Berlin- Mailand." I regarded them idly, wondering where Mailand was und why I had never heard of it before. It was only when I saw a friendly Forter wildly summoning me to enter, and heard guard crying out "Chiasso, Como, Milano," that I realised the situation and understood Mailand to bo German for the city we call Milan.

THE TROUSSEAU UP-TO-DATE.
The newest notion in trousseaux is a very sensible one. In view of the drastic changes in fashion that the last two years have seen, the modern bride contents herself with fire or six gowns the wedding and going-away freaks, a good tailor-made suitable to all occa sions, a gown in which to receive calls at homo, a serviceable tweed cr homespun for morning shopping and wet weather, and, lastly, a dinner dress, supplementary to the wedding gown when it shall have been cut down or otherwise adapt- od to evening wear. Sho has already in her wardrobe sufficient frocks to fall back upon for any extra needs, a little theatre frock, a high demi-toilette (so useful nowadays, when it way bo worn at dinner or the theatre), de.
PUZZLES FOX TRAVELLERS.
The Italians havo, it is true, their own names for various German towns, bet at all events they lead them a certain charm, Oue would certainly not recognise Leipzig under the disguise of Lipsia, nor understand in an instant that Colonia meant Köln (Cologne). But the Italian perversions are not lacking in beauty of sennd. The music of their amocth, soft speech exhales from them. I once saw this advanced us à reason in favour of keeping up the "Think how inharmonious Italianised namOH. it would sound," the argument fan," to hear Italians sperk gattural German or ugly English names," Certainly "Io vado a Monaco fees bare a pleasanter ring than "Io vado a München." But that is a frivolous argument to set against the inconvenience caused.
In this matter of muddling the unfortunate travellers from all countries are equally to blame. Many places, indeed, have different names in Britain, Italy, Germany, and France. For example:

Nowadays, when all the work goes abroad for to admiro and, for to see" as well as ou business, which every year becomes more cosmo- politan, it is strangely backward to keep up a practice dating back to the ages when there was little intercommunication and when names were spelt anyhow, as fancy suggested. It would be thought absorb to call Horr Rothbarth Mr. Redboard in England, M. Barborange in France, and Signor Barbarossa in Italy. Is it not equally ridiculous for the United States to be referred to in French newspapers ng Elats. Unis, in Italina as Stati Uniti, and in German journals as Vereinigte StateuP New names are accepted all round. We do not speak of San Paolo as Saint Paul, ex do the Germans call Chicago Chikadig. Nor does the Italian turn Manchester into Mancastria.
All the corruptions date a long way back. They were invented in the days before the historical sazee was born. It was a childish instinet which made foreign names seem strange and uncouth. And the places were so far off that it really did not atter much what you called them, Now we have outgrown that spirit of provincialise. We realise that names are interesting, oren sacred to minds capable of themselves back upon the past. They casting have histories. They enshrine noble memories. They ought not to be tampered with and twisted out of recognition.
Since all nations are equally at fault, the reform will be easier to bring about, the short comings of others being so much more obvions to is than our own. What le needed is beginning. Who will lead the way?
