SOOTHING 70 Feminine pride.

when a woman is married in thh
country her maiden name Is seldom
mentioned Many people TO whom she
Is very well known have never heare
a. In Belgium marriage does not ex
tinguish T.. for many married women
often combine the old name with the
new. Moreover. they put the maiden
name last. thus giving Il the greatest
distinction. We can illustrate this by
supposing the custom 10 prevail 10
this country. 10 that case Miss Brown
when she married Mr.. Robinson
would have her visiting cards printed;
Mrs. Robinson Brown" This double
barreled arrangement does not give
the Belgian wife better social
status than the English wife's. but 10
