New York and Chicago had invaded

to her very doors. they carried their
audacious fight for business; cut her
territory clean away with their broad
sword of low prices. Like other lag
CARDS, she exulted over the victory
she had tried to make defeat and
called aloud: Come all good Ameri-
cans, come all the world, help us cele-
brate. Even the Sacramento "Clar-

and announced to the world the names

San Francisco, but in spite of her,
had accomplished the achievement of
the age.

HAVE RIGHT TO RETAIN NAMs
Advantage English Women Possess
Over American Sister.

"The English woman has at least
one advantage over her American sis
ter said young woman who has
just returned from a two years stay
in London. The English law does
not require a wife to take her hus-
bands surname. She can please her
self. The point was settled several
years ago when Mrs. Fenwick Miller
was elected on the London school
board. She had never taken her hus-
bands name, merely altering Miss
into Mrs, and formal protest was
entered against her election because
II was claimed that she had not stood
under her legal name. This protest
was referred to the law officers OF
the crown and they decided in her IA
vor. Now, there are a large number
OF society women in England, most of
them widows, who have never taken
the names of their husbands. They
refuse to give up the title and position
they already possess for the sake of
using their husbands names. OF
course, the question of changing the
name and thus losing their identity
in marriage is even more important
to the professional woman whose
well-known name is often of CONNER
cial value. In America, where the
women use one name for business pur.
poses and another for society. IL
would seem dreadful never to take
the husbands name at all. yet II is
much simpler. and the almost invari.
able rule among English women"
