new craze for ancestors and family names, we cannot say. But about ten years ago the cus- tom of writing one's name in full, which had up to that time been restricted to the English nobility and a few literary and public men, became kind of a social fad, and spread rapidly among all classes. Itis now the com monest thing in the world to find a successful grocer, who has always been known as P. P. Jenks' renting a better house and heralding the movements of him. self and wife as those of MT. and Mrs. Paul Pangbourne Jenks.'
 "Unlike most fads, the writing of ones name in full is a sensible and proper one. There is no use in giving a man a name if he is to bury 1t in pair of initials. Full names are also much less liable to become confused. The passing of initials, while not yet complete by any means, is mak- ing rapid progress, and we are glad to see it,
The Green Forest tribune., 1903-07-11
A Sensible Fad.

The Atlanta Journal discusses what it terms the passing of initials in this vein:
 Something over twelve years ago a Georgia business man who now and then mounts the lecture platform declared in public address that the two most ridicu- lous things connected with civil ized customs were the two buttons on the back of mems coats and the initials in front of mems names.
 Who knows?' he inquired, what the w. stands for in Henry w. Grady?'
 "Since that time, slowly but surely the middle initial has been replaced by the full name. The first initial had fallen into disuse some years before. I'll. w. Long, fellow had become Henry W. Longfollw.' This in turn, after the poets death, was succeeded by Henry Wadsworth Long fellow In like manner it was not until the brilliant Georgian had passed away that the world knew him otherwise than as Henry w. Grady The query of the lecturer above referred to would now be pointless, as the name of Henry Woodfin Grady is today familiar to every intel ligent person ii the United States.
 '"The use of initials instead of the full name seems to have had it's origin in a desire for brevity, as the necessity for much writing grew without any appliance for shortening it's labor. The cus- tom was at it's height about a century ago. e. Washington, , B. Franklin'-these are the sig natures that we find on old papers. The use of initials was almost universal up to the latter part of the last century. Thomas Babington Macaulay called himself T. B. Macaulay.' Gen. eral Grant was known. as U. s. Grant The war president sign ed his, name A. Lincoln
