The prominence OF women in bust
ness and public life and the growth of
women's clubs and societies makes it
desirable that there should be change
in the etiquette regarding names by
which women are distinguished. As
it is now when Miss Mary Monday
marries Mr. John Tuesday She be-
comes Mrs. John Tuesday in the social
world, but she must sign her name
Mary Tuesday in all business trans
actions and her name is so enrolled on
the books Of the various church, liter
airy and social societies to which she
belongs. A stranger might read in
the local papers that Miss Mary Mon
day was the champion tennis player
in Plunkvllle and few weeks later
from the same source learn that Mrs
John Tuesday entertained her friends
at delightful tea aud that Mary
Tuesday was elected secretary of the
Peck-a-Boo club without ever a
thought that the three references were
to one and the same person. This di-
viding up Of women's personality
into sections IS mistake aud an all
most inexcusabe one. too When
Mary Monday marries John Tuesday
she should not lose the name BY which
all her world Of friends and admirers
know her she should simply add her
husbands sirname and become Mrs.
Mary Monday Tuesday. There is no
reason why she should be simply the
wife of John Tuesday anymore than
that he should be simply Mary Mon
days husband. 1t may be some time
before any leader will have the cour-
age to start this reform but it is
bound to come sooner or later.
