Thursday afternoon by Mrs. Thomas
Cochrane and Miss Cochrane.

with pink roses and palms, and the
mantel was effectively banked with
green's. The chandeliers and doorways
were festooned with smilax. In the
library were bouquets of magnificent
white chrysanthemums. large and

flowers. The women were all gowned

wore a lovely green gown, and white
chrysanthemums at her corsage, and
in her hair.
Mrs. Rudge poured coffee and Mrs.

ferns and white chrysanthemums.
White candles in crystal sticks were
daintily shaded with green, and the bay
window was filled with ferns and flow

Literary Notice.
There viii shortly be issued from
the press Of the John Murphy Com
pany, Baltimore, o book entitled The
Lords Baltimore and the Maryland
Palatinate, being six lectures on
Maryland Colonial History deliver
ed before the John Hopkins Univer-
sity dnring February and March,
1902. by Clayton G. Hall, Esq, of
Baltimore.
AS the title implies, the lectures
give not only some personal accounts
Of the several Barons Of Baltimore,
Proprietaries Of the Maryland Prov
ince, but also review OF the His
tory Of the province itself, and the
relations between IL and the Pro
prietaries. BY reason Of the palati-
nate character Of it's government,
the colonial history Of Maryland
presents many features Of special
interest to the student Of political
institutions in this country.
The study Of Maryland's colombia
history has been greatly stimulated
and facilitated in recent years, by
the admirable publication Of the
early Ms. Archives, by the Mary
land Historical Society. under the
auspices Of the State Of Maryland,
which has been in progress since
1882. Twenty-Five years ago, the
only important printed books avail
able on this subject were Bozman s
History Of Maryland. published in
1887, which brings the history OF
the Province down to the year 1850
only; and Mcmahon : Historical View
Of the Government Of Maryland
which appeared in 1881. But these
books were practically out Of print,
and copies were not always easily
obtained. During the last quarter
Of q century the subject has receiv-
ed renewed attention at the hands OF
historians.

aIarrIed Nyonen.s Names

In several OF the smaller towns in
Wisconsin, where strong organic
cd movement has been made to get
the names Of women on registry
lists, CONSERVATION has been caused
by the discovery that a married wo-
man is not legally registered il the
Christian name by which she is des-
ignated on the list is that of her hus-
band. Thus, MRS. John Smith, :"
whose given name is Mary, can
not vote unless she is registered as
Mary, or If she does vote, it must
be by the troublesome process of
swearing in" Socially. married
woman always goes by her husband
full name, prefixed by Mrs, until
he dies, unless the pair are severed
by divorce. Legally however, it
is only his surname which becomes
hers by marriage, and her Christian
name continues to be an essential
part OF her formal designation, sup
plemented, if she chooses. by her
patronymic. III she is public char
acter-za writer, a speaker, physi-
cian-she is generally known by the
name which she bore previous TO
her marriage with her husband s sur
name appended. Thus Ella Wheel
er became Ella Wheeler Wilcox.
Thus Elizabeth Cady became Eliz-
abeth Cady Stanton. The whole
nation knew the great woman suffra-
gist by that name, but comparative
ly few people knew her by the name
of Mrs. Henry Brewster Stanton,
though Henry Brewster Stanton,
her husband. was in his day a we'll
known man.
