WHEN PROFESSIONAL WONIENS NAMES
ARE SWALLOWED UP IN MATRIMONY
A Question
for Men

the city directory, where Mrs. John
Jones is allowed representation in
parenthesis after her husbands name
as Mary Smith Jones. But the pre-
Yelling rule throughout the United
states is that facilities for finding her
are as limited as In New England,
where a postmaster recently issued
the ulttmatum that he would no
longer attempt to deliver letters adj
dressed with the given name of mar
ried women. He says, and with rea-
son. that while he can locate a Mrs.
John Jones, he knows of no available
record whence he can learn the abode
o. Mrs. Mary Smith Jones.
Lucy Stone as long ago as 1855 re-
volted against this loss of identity.
When she took Henry B. Blackwell
for her lawful welded husband. she
declined to take his name. Actresses
have always followed this custom.
Other professional and business wom-
Ell are beginning to adopt 1t. 1t
would seem to be enough of an
achievement when you have made one
name known without attempting to
struggle up through the mists of OBJ
scurity all over again with a second
one. And there is really no more rea-
son why Miss Mary Smiths career
should be interrupted by change of
either name or title than why Mr..
John Jones's career should be SINH
larly checked

Wasn't 1t Woodrow Wilson who
said with real democracy that no
class could be trusted to make laws
for any other class? That's just why
women are finding so much to set
right now that for the first time in
the world they are coming into their
own law making. In the present year
OF the Lord, 1914 in America. one has
become a comparatively free woman
so long as she stays In a state OF
single blessedness. But upon assum-
ing the yoke of matrimony, her dis
abilities become so numerous that
even her right to be herself is more
or less effectually cancelled says Ma
bel Potter Daggett in the Pictorial Re-
view. Need one wonder that the self
supporting young woman OF the per-
iod pauses with reluctant feet where
maidenhood and wifehood meet?
suppose she is Mary Smith who has
made her reputation as sculptor.
an artist lawyer or a doctor. Shall
she consent to become lost to fame
and clients as Mrs. John Jones?
That's the handicap she fares Even
the city directory may contain no
record of one Mary Smith, recently
passed out of her own personality to
accept the protection OF John Jones's
name. In two cities offering excep-
tional opportunities. Seattle and Ia
