Why Wives ehange Name.

The custom which makes it proper
for the wife to assume the name Of
her husband at marriage is involved in
much obscurity. A recent authority
advances the opinion that it originated
from Roman custom and became
common after the Roman occupation
of England.
Thus, Julia and Octavia, married to
Pompey and Cicero, were called by
the Romans Julia of Pompey and o.
tavia Of Cicero, and in later time the
married women of most European
countries signed their names in the
same way, but omitted the "of.''
In spite of this theory, it is a fact
that as late as the 10th century and
beginning of the 18th century a Cath
crime Parr signed her name without
any change, though she had been twice
married. We also hear of Lady Jane
Grey, not Dudley, and Arabella Stuart,
not Seymour, ETC., says the Philadel-
phia Inquirer
Some think that the custom orig
mated with the Scriptural idea that
the husband and wife are one. This
was the rule of law as far back as
1868, and it was decided in the case
of Won VS.. Smith, in the reign of Eliz-
abeth, that woman by marriage
loses her former name and legally re-
ceives the name of her husband.

The Average woman.

'The average woman" does not
sound like a phrase of high compli-
ment. Yet the average woman is
doubtless the most needed woman in
modern civilization. 1t is interesting
and inspiring to see that she has made
marked progress during the centuries.
She is much more capable and more
lovable than three hundred years ago.
Her advance is somewhat due to the
work Of those few leaders who make
new paths and encourage more timid
souls to follow them. But for the
most part it can be traced to the

The following resolutions, prepared
for the occasion and read by A. L.
Lennon, were enthusiastically adopted
by the audience:
We, Irish-American citizens, assem-
bled to pay tribute to the memory Of
the martyred Emmett, and to cherish
and perpetuate the principles which he
advocated and for which he sacrificed
his life, do hereby affirm:
First-We are conscious Of the dig
nifty and glory of American citizenship
and the duties and responsibilities
which that citizenship imposes, we are
proud of American institutions and of
American love Of liberty, justice, and
equality; and we would not only trans
init unsullied to future generations
those lofty ideals and priceless treas
ures of liberty, but we would extend
our sympathy and aid to other peo-
pies who are struggling against ty-
ranny and oppression to obtain the
| tights Wu1SlL VIC CuJOy.
Second-We favor honorable peace
with all nations but entangling alli-
ances with none. We believe there
can be no universal peace until there
is universal justice. So long as the
tyrant, the oppressor, and the land
grabber exist war is not only justi-
fable, it is necessary.
We are unalterably opposed to any
pact, agreement, or alliance with other
powers that would shackle indepen-
dent thought or action in matters con-
ducing to the nations greatness, and
we believe that the unparalleled great
ness and prosperity of this nation in
the past has demonstrated the wis
dom of Washington's advice to avoid
entangling alliances.
We are especially opposed to an ar
bitration treaty with England at this
time, as we believe it is intended as
an entering wedge for an alliance Of
fensive and defensive, instigated by
the pro-British element, and having
the unqualified approval of our pro-
British secretary of state. Such an al
lance could only have for its object
the rehabilitation of English prestige
among the great European powers and
the bolstering up of England's totter-
ing empire. While it would strengthen
her hands in the nefarious work Of
exterminating and robbing weaker
peoples, and crushing out the spirit of
liberty, it would make this nation "par-
ticeps criminis'' in such acts, and
suppress censure and rebuke Of the
same. 1t would create a co-partner-
