MISS AND MRS.

There is an effort made in certain
quarters TO ignore the distinction be-
tween Miss and Mrs, as applied to
married and single women. AT re-
cent women's convention at Chicago
the presiding officer. who was an un-
married woman, had her cards print
ed with Mrs. preceding her name. 1t
is understood that this is simply a
symptom OF widespread movement
or course. the idea is to destroy this
class distinction. which induces differ
ent proprieties and rights. which In
both cases should be the same. This
would make the style the same as
holds with men, who use the WORD
Mr.. TO both the married and unmar-
ried. Now II seems If there should be
a distinction in naming women, in or
der to tell whether they are married
or unmarried, the same distinction
should be made with regard to men,

know, for social and business reasons.
whether a man is single or not. AT
least man should appear before So
ciety just what he is, married or I'M
married, for all the reasons. and
more, too, that women are so designat-
ed. 1t might be better reform for
the women to continue their classified
ton Of Miss and Mrs, and extend to
men the obligation of like distinc-
ton, so that the married men cannot
play off as unmarried, which is the
source OF so much complication.

he has remained there for II years.
He has heard frequently from his
friends in the West. He has followed
their movements and watched their
progress. He has heard how the town
he helped to establish has risen from
a shack to a growing, thriving, brisk
business center, with the surrounding
country peopled now by thousands
who are occupying the territory in
which he was one OF the first to help
plant the colony OF twenty or twenty
five. In his letter to an official of the
Department of the Interior. he says:

wonderfully since"
The young man when he went last
learned a machine trade, he has pat

go to Canada again. And he likely
will, but when he does he will find
greater change than he may expect.

good deal more. But he will find that
he can secure a homestead just as
good as any that were taken in his
day, and today worth $95 an acre, but
at some distance from a line of rail-
way, yet with a certainty of railway
in the near future, and he will find too
that he can still get land at SIS to $1S
