So with Junior. An old Scottish gentleman I once knew tells this tale: In Scotland. on a craggy, rough and harren cliiif. a Scottish peer held a castle. He was rich in precious wares. lands and love of family: luck had heen kind to him. Raised and knighted hy his exalted king. loved hy a ladv of grace and wealth, and last. himself hestowed with a heing loved hy his people. The peer had two sons, line and handsome youths. .Xnd, as the story goes. thev had a name given them when young for convenience perhaps, hut at eighteen: 'mid festivity and song, dance and fun. when the whole country side turned out. thev were publicly named hy parents and given a title fine. ' The peer had a hahy son. lle had given much thought to the function and finally decided thus: The child would he named when a month old. even though contrary to the customs of his people for ages hack. lt seemed right to him. Time and thought had heen given hy many to choose a name for the child. until finally an old faithful servant cried. XYhy should he not he called Junior?
