One of the Dilemmas That Con-
front the Married Woman.

What shall be a married woman's name?
This is the question one of the women's pa

as Mrs. John Smythe Rogers? Or shall she
keep her maiden name in full. and add to II
that of her husband. writing herself as Mrs.
Mary Jones Rogers? Or shall the wife and
selves Jones-Rogers? Or shall the woman
keep strictly to her own name. discarding
entirely that of her husband and call her
self Mary Jones or Mrs. Mary Jones? These
