evidently been influenced by their
surroundings, for lynching is not a
Mexican custom. AS this occur

it is a matter of doubt whether he

The House judiciary committee
has reported favorably the bill to
fine minors for visiting saloons

becomes law it will prevent the

From Harper'S Bazaar.

From Harper'S Bazaar.
So far as the etiquette of the sig
nature is concerned, there is one
unvarying rule for women, mar
ried and single. 1t is never right, not
good form, to sign ones name with
the addition of Miss or Mrs. You
are Mary Emily Jones, not Mrs,
Patrick Fitzgerald Jones,tO whom
soever you may be writing. If it
! is necessary to notify ali OF your
correspondents of your married
style and estate you may do so, and
in one of several ways. Please re-
member that a correspondent
should not be left in doubt as to
this, much embarrassment being
frequently caused by the omission,
in letters between strangers, OF eX-
act information as to whether the
writer is married or single. You
may readily Indicate all YOU may
wish to tell. You may place (Mrs.
p. F0 before the Mary Emily afOre-
said in brackets. You may write
Mrs. Patrick Fitzgerald out
fully and plainly in the left
hand corner of your sheet, below
your proper signature. Or you may
simply inclOse your engraved visit
ing card in your letter, this being
on the whole the most elegant and
also the most convenient method
of showing ones relation to society.
The exception must be remarked
here that the visiting card is out of
place in an exclusively business
letter, one which has not even re-
mOtely a social bearing.
