The death of Betty Cruise occurred the second day after her baby was born.

In a way, this lamentable occurrence solved a knotty problem and pacified two warring sexes, so to speak.

For, be it known, the women of the Doraine took a most determined stand against the manner in which the men, viva voce, had arrogated unto themselves the right to name the baby.

Not that any one of the women objected to the name they had given her; they were, in fact, pleased with it.

But, they protested, this was a matter over which but one person had jurisdiction, and that person was Betty Cruise.
