a husband and many daughters and sons,
after whose names appear now the word

has a long list of activities Of which any
woman might be proud. But, strangely
enough. they are all given as having been

That is because she left her old home on

3 Despite the fact that so much is said
and written of the right of women to keep
their own names after marriage the wom-

however the name of the woman is CIV

There are many pathetic little touches
in the book. woman who has spent
her lifetime in writing says that she has

than that of the woman who, wishing TO

that she has written many letters to

One of the old jokes Of the comic papers
that women cannot be prevailed upon
to tell their ages-would seem TO be dis
