So far us the etiquette of the

unvarying rule for women, married
and single. 1t is never right, nor
good form, to sign ones name with
the addition of Miss or Mrs. You are
Mary Emily Jones, not Mrs. Patrick
Fitzgerald Jones, to whomsoever you
may be writing. fit be necessary to
notify your correspondent Of your
married style and estate, you may do
50, and in one of several ways. Please
observe that correspondent should
not be left in doubt as to this, much
embarrassment being frequently
caused by the omission, in letters
between strangers, Of exact informa-
ton as to whether the writer is
married o: single. You may easily
indicate all you wish to tell. You
may place [ Mrs. T. FL before the
Mary Emily aforesaid, in brackets.
You may write Mrs. Patrick Fitz-
gerald out fully and plainly, in the
leit-hand corner of your sheet, below
your proper signature. Or you may
simply enclose your engraved visiting
card in your letter, this being on the
whole the most1 elegant and also the
most convenient method of showing
ones relation to society. The exception
must be remarked here that the visit
ing-card is out Of place in an ex.
clusiyely business letter, one which

The truth is that England has no
reason to object the annexation The
only part Of the British empire that
would have reason to deplore the
proposed union of Hawaii and the
United States is Canada, or, to beck
plicit, the Canadian Pacific RAILROAD.
That transcontinental railroad has
been trying for some time to divert
Hawaiian traffic and the Asia tic
trade which touches at Honolulu
and the transcontinental lines of this
country to Vancouver, and thence
through Canada. A very consider
able opposition to annexation was
worked up in Hawaii by this Cana
dian hostility, but at last it has been
baffled and overcome. England
hardly took note of it, and has no
thought of going out of her way to
be party to it. The idea Of making
a Canadian railroad the great artery
of commerce with the United States
mounting into millions is spresumptu-
GUS. Canada already has more than
it's share OF American railway traffic,
and if Mr.. Cleveland shall pursue the
wise policy herein laid down Ivy Mr..
Harrison the time is not far distant
when the Canadian Pacific railroad
will be as anxious for annexation to
the United States us are the great
property interests and more intelli
gent people Of awaii.-Chicagd
