ORIGIN OF THE TITLE MISS. :"
A Word That TriuEphed Over Evil
Associations.

From the London Spcctator-)
Miss" is commonly assumed 10 be an
abbreviation OF mistress and this may
be true; but it was not 4 corruption, nor
a form unconsciously introduced John
Evelyn has left a record of the date and
circumstances. In 1862 he goes TO see the
fair and famous comedian called RoSala-
na, from the part she performed" and
learns that she has been taken Tor the
Earle of ONford's misss, as at that time
they began TO call lewd women. In 1865
he speaks OF the ''foyle and indecent wo-
men who became misses and sometimes
wives of The young gallants. Again Eve
lyn Witnessed = king attended by
''misse, as they call those unhappy Great
ures."
Nerer did a word undergo a stranger
revolution. 1t would have been the dead
Hest of insults 10 call young lady miss
al that time But here is very strong il
lusuation of the rule that terms really
wanted viii gain place in the language.
be the objections what they may. Hither-
to there had been no distinguishing title
for young girls, saving those ranks of life
where Observation-Disclosures commonly
'demoiselle" current. Elsewhere, a
married woman and her daughter had
mistress in common.
We do net recall any allusion 10 the in
conveniences which must have folio yed
but the eagerness with which miss was
accepted. is the best proof that it was 1T
An attempt had been made apparent V to
naturaliZe madam" as the title OF mar
ried woman. thus freeing mistress TO-
the use of the girls exclusively. But Il
never succeeded with the middle c'aS5,
and il had become od-fashioned in the
time Of the Stuarts; never theless, some OF
US can reco!lect cid villagers sp akinE of
the great lady of the neighb5rh, oil, IN the
days Of their youths. Madam Sc and
So" But there was little help there, ard
the embarrassment must have groXn con-
tinually as social Intercourse became moe
general.
II is not extravagant to suppose that
the custom of designating mans wife as
his lady was an effort 10 escape it. One
must turn fifty pages cf Evelyn's diary o
find the name of married woman, unless
she had a title CT nCbility-always it is
ais lady But in the upper circles
miss won its way slowly. We may ven
ture to say that II does not occur in Lady
Mary Stuart WoFtley's correspondence,
nor does madam" aIp!isd to an English
woman. Little girls and their grand
mothers are Mrs alike. II Is to be oS-
served. however, that Pope uses miss
freely in the same era. Lady Mary and
others of her rank may probably have
learned of the shameful origin Of the word
in youth and eschewed it on that ac count,
while Pope would never hear the story
unless by chance.
Steele in the Guardian. addressed a girl
OF fifteen as Mrs" and Lady Butte left ii
ON record that she, born in 11lS. remem-
bered some old ladies who always called
her Mrs in the nursery. Under such
circumstances il is 10 wonder that miss
Iriumphed over its evil associations. \
word was never so badly wanted for the
convenience Of life and the purposes o.
civilized society.
