HOW a married woman should sign
her name has puzzled more than
one OF Ewes daughters The following
points concerning signatures may be
OF assistance to those in doubt:
Only when brackets are used may a
woman write the prefix Mrs. or Miss to
her name when she is signing a COM
munication.
If she is corresponding with persons
who are strangers. whether the matter
be business or personal, she may fire.
quently write her note in the third per-
SON. In business 1t is always advis-
able to do this For instance II wo-
man wishes an article from a dry goods
shop or the grocer she should begin
the letter by saying Mrs. William
Brown wishes etc. The address is
then placed at the end Of the note.
Should she write in the first person to
a shop and wish to sign her name she
may do it in either of two ways. If
she prefers to use her individual name
the signature should read INdrs.1 Mary
Brown or Mary Brown. putting direct
Iy underneath in brackets MRS. Will
liam Brownl.
The latter-that is. both Signatures
is the form always used when writing
in the first person to social equals who
do not know the name. For example.
a woman may have occasion to write
to another woman concerning a serv-
ants reference. and the one receiving
the letter being a perfect stranger and
perhaps never having heard of the
writer must be treated with the ut
most formality. but. of course. as an
equal Therefore the writer should
sign her note as she would to a friend.
putting beneath 1t her married name
An unmarried woman, having but one
name would sign hers in full. putting
Miss in brackets beside it
There is no place except on a hotel
register or when writing a visiting card
that a woman signs her name with its
prefix without brackets. When she
wishes to use her married name. her
husbands. her own must be written in
full. with the married name beneath in
racketS.

T is a txuism of the dressmakers that
gowns come back into fashion
every five years. Although this is not
literally true, there are certain subtle
changes in styles from year to year.
and up to date women like to include
them in their wardrobes. But it often
does seem wiser to put a really good
gown away when the fashions demand
some decided change and wait until
the same period of styles comes around
again. The sort of making over that
involves the entire pulling to pieces of
a gown and recruiting it is rarely good
policy in these days of high priced

THE NEWEST
IN COIFFURES

A FASHION that win be welcomed
by women who object to wearing
large quantities of false hair is that
of filing the troublesome space at the
back of the head, which often occurs
between the hair and the hat with
puffings of tulle to match either the
couture or the head covering.
Another item of news is to the effect
that the soft" fringe of hair on the
forehead has come in again This does
not mean that heavy bangs are to be
worn nor that the heavily frizzed ef
feet that the Englishwomen love viii
be in vogue but the short. babylixe
hairs which grow on every woman's
forehead and which can be easily
brushed down and trained to fall in a
becoming line are likely to be popular.
Some women may have to clip few
hairs to form this fringe, which must
appear neither skinny nor heavy. A
fringe Of the right proportions is the
most becoming fashion that can be
imagined for softening and adding
youthfulness to the face.

tight skirts Of last spring are quite
impossible now.
In some of the big shops they are tell
ing customers that the new skirts on
tailored suits are as close fitting as
they were last season, but If the
straight line is followed the skirts con-
tain more material In the way of set

another material. Both OF these ideas

thus cause suffocation as 1t is to curl
