INFANT A GIRL.
Giving'Fitting: Cognomen to
Imperial Child Made Occa-
sion for Great Ceremony.
When the stork hovered over the
palace of the Prince Regent and
,Crown Princess of Japan on December
7,Aaan entire _nation was 'expectantly
awaiting to learn Whether an imperial
• bejl?,woul,d be born or only a -girl baby.
Although the arrival of a baby prin-
cess was 'announced by the booming
of two cannon shots in Tokio and by a
twenty-one gun 'elute in Kobe„ the
event was not nearly as auspicious
nor the rejoicing -so spontaneous as
would have been :the case had the
chidrcd beer a boy
birth. of a male child is always••a much
more important event hi any family
than the arrival ce a mere girl and
especially so- in the case of an lin-
- perial
in--perial birth, when a boy .child means
en heir to the imperial throne.
ITad the child born to Prince Hiro-
hito and Princess Nagako been a -boy,
a three-day general holiday wound
have signalized the event, and the
sentences of all prisoners in the En1r
pire would have been reduced True,
there were phbltc and -private oele-
Ations tllroughouttthe land on the
official naming day, seven days after
tll'e -infant's birth, but no holiday was
• declared and the prisoners, were doom-
ed to disappointment.
Weeks before the princess• was born
the newspapers ' were giving great
prominence to news about the ap-
proaching confinement of the Crown
Princess.'
-Emperor Sends Gift.
As soon as the news was flashed to'
the palace of the Emperor announcing
that a granddaughter had been born,
an imperial mese•nger was sent to the
palace of the Crown Princess with the
Emperor's first gift to the child, wh4ch,
according 'toancient custom, was 'a
short sword with a blade about nine
inches in length.
The most important ceremonies in-
cident to an imperial birth are those
-held en the naming day. The child
rejoices• in the name Teru .no Miya
Shigeko Nal-Shinno, which means "the
enduring lustre of the sun and moon."
The name was selected by the Elm -
press from three names submitted by
the Minister of the Imperial House-.
hold after profound consideration.
The -.name day ceremonies, started
early in the morning when the infant
was bathed by alma. Shimazu, head
lady of the court, assisted by two mid-
wives and Dr. Mikami, of Imperial
University. During the battling rites
selections were read from the Nihon -
she'd, one cf the oldest of Japanese
backs.
Selected by Empress.
Later the name selected by the Em-
press was conveyed by Count Toku-
gawa, grand chamberlain td the. Em-
peror, and to the palace of the Prince
Regent and Crown Princss, Count
Chlnda, stward to. the Prince Regent,
receival the imperial messenger in the
Crimson Hall, and Count °hinds pre-
sented his tname, written on a sheet
of -lino paper and inclosed in a lacquer
'box, to the Prince Regent in the audi-
, mice hall. The 'naming ceremony was
performed to the, accompaniment of
the twanging of ancient bowstrings.
A bulletin announcing the name • of
the child and the origin of the name
was Issued shortly before noon, and
the Prince Regent dispatched messen-
gers to inform the Emperor and Em-
press of the name and also to apprise
the imperial ancestors at the Imperial
Sanctuary.
Throughout the morning school
children carrying special name -day
fins thronged in front of the palace
of the Prince Regent, and a procession'
of 5,000 members of the young men's
societies of Tokio marched from the
imperial palace to Hibiya Park, where
a military band played in honor of the
occasion. -
Flags were displayed from private,
homes and office buildings for seven
days after the imperial birth, and the
palace was deluged with official and
private messages of congratulation,
No Fame After Death
Motion'pioture producers at Holly-
wood are perplexed by the faot that
while the public will pay ,money to
read a dead man's music, see a dead
man's plays,. or hear a (lead man's
music,, it invariably epurne the acting
of a i1101 star who has. died.
When one. of the most popular come-
dians of early "movie" days died dur-
ing the height of his fame, it was ac-
cepted as a foregone conclusion by
officials of the company that had "fea-
tured" ,>)l that his death was ah op-
portunity to demonstrate a great
"movie"rinlracle—.the power in the
alms to make a men live on beyond
the grave, as lifelike to the spectators
as if he never bad died.
But the public dropped him, The
company found his pictures- were' a
da+ng on the market. He was, dead;
end film enthnedasts deol`ined to pay
money to see the shadow of a man
scarcely any of them bad ever seen in
the fleslm;,
That was an earlj' instance of a
truth. which Later experience has eau.
firmed over andover again.
Fortune gives too much to many,
but to none enough.

..Why Crosses Mean Kisses.
. Whatever your sex, at some time or
other iiou have probably written a let-
ter and put'some "crosses" in it—for
kisses. But have you ever wondered
why a cross should be used as the
written symbol of a kiss? -
This story is interesting and takes
us back to the times when few could.
read, and still fewer could write•. In'
that reepectthe nobility were no bet-
ter than those of a lower station of
life; bat'tipeds transferring, property,
wills, and other documelitshad -to be
signed somehow., So those who could
not write names "made their mark,"
and this, in an age when religious
synlbolisan was very much in evidence,
usually took the farm of a cross, From
motives of reverence the shape used
was not that of the cross.of Calvary,
but the St Andrew crosses, which re-
sembles the letter "X.
Having duly made their mark, the
signatories• of a document kissed it
partly as a' pledge of good faith and
partly as ah act' of reverence, And so
a cross marked on: Paper became.as-
sociated with a kiss.
KEEP LITTLE ONES
WELL IIS WINTER
By Regulating the Stomach. and
Bowels With Baby's Own
Tablets.
•
Winter is a dangerous season for
the little ones. The days are change-
able—one bright, the next cold and
stort)y, that the mother is afraid to
take the children out for the fresh
air and exercise they need so much.
In they are often cooped
up in overheated, badly ventilated
rooms and are soon seized with 'colds
or grippe. What is needed to keep
the little ones well is Baby's Own Tab-
lets. They will regulate the stomach
and bowels and drive out colds, and
through their use the baby will' be able
to get over the whiter seasmm in ger-
feet safety.
In 'using Baby's Own Tablets 'time
mother has an absolute guarantee that
she is giving her precious little onee
eonle'liing that is absolutely sale and
somi ,:ling that cannot poselbly do
harm to even the newborn babe, as the
Tablets contain not one particle of
opiates or other dangerous drug. They
are sold by medicine dealers or at

Why Boys. Won't Wash.
The small boy whose knees and
hands are always dirty ie far more
likely to be a success In life than the
"mother's darling" who is always neat
and clean•,
According to a statement made by a
well-known doctor, dirt is the black
badge of juvenile independence. The
boy of eight says: "I am now old
enough not to have my hands s•erubbed
by mummy." Then he reasons:' "If I
keep' my bands as clean as mummy
kept them, nobody would realize how
grown-up I am."
'!In the same way he does not wipe
his feet on the doormat, is unpunctual,.
and careless," adds the dootor,' All
this is quite healthy, but the boy of
the same ago who can be described as
a "model child" arouses the doctor's
suspicions. "That perfect little gen-
tleman is failing to realize ,the sense of
emancipation and will presently shirk
his responsibilities."
