Signs of the Times.

Women keep on pushing their way
into the business world, and nothing is
more remarkable than the manner in
which actresses are beginning to leave
the stage to take commercial positions.
Edith Kenward, who was a kangaroo
dancer,'' a skirt dancer and a clever
coincidence a year ago, has retired from
the stage to become the American bust
ness representative of George r. Sims.
Emma Mule, one of the prettiest chorus
women in ''1492, " has retired from the
stage to become secretary for Mr.. E. E.
Rice. Miss tombstone Bennett has been
representing an American manager in
Paris for some months on a salary, look
ing for French plays, and there are wOm-
en- advance agents, women press agents
and women business managers all
through the theatrical ranks who were
formerly behind the footlights. If the
migration keeps on much longer, the
men will have to forsake the business
end of the theaters and go on the stage
themselves.-NewY York Correspondent.

Fashions in Girls Names.

The most important change in the
naming of girls has been the growing
disinclination to give them more than
one name, the object of this being that
when a woman marries she may easily
combine her full maiden name with her
new surname, writes Mrs. Hamilton
Mott in The Ladies' Home Journal. A
three word signature is much prettier
and more convenient than one composed
of four words. Then, too, immediate
recognition of her own as we'll as that
of her husbands surname and the con-
venience in genealogical research and
legal transactions are two reasons of
sufficient Importance to warrant the
combination were there no others.
With this fashion in girls names has
come, as in boys, a Discrimination to
use diminutives or pet names Mollies,
Maggies, Katies and the various femi-
nine sies'' and 3'ys'' are as scarce as
their masculine counterparts Jimmie
and Willie. Mary, Margaret and Kath-
arine have taken the place of the former,
and James and William of the latter.

Toilet Covers.

If a room needs new toilet covers aft
er the spring house cleaning, make them
from white cotton point d'esprit laid
over color and edge each piece with a
frill of the same, run with baby ribbons.
A set seen recently was of white over
pale orange. Cut a piece of white mus
lin of cheesecloth the size of the top of
the dresser and other places for which
you want the covers, lay over them a
thin layer of cotton sprinkled with vio-
let powder, then tack on a covering Of

siderably larger than the Innings and
catch the extra fullness here and there to

follows: In the Saxons' time the estates
which the lords of manors granted to
the freemen were at first but for term
of years, with a render of a rent, which
