Those Silly Tags.
Mrs. or Miss, which are you?

Mrs. or Miss, which are you?
q That 1t doesn't matter and that it ISM
any ones business, and that such titles
as Miss and Mrs. are just silly tags any
way. is the opinion recently expressed BY
Helene Berg. the brilliant Danish student
of sociology. who is in this country al
the present time studying conditions"
Helene Berg-one simply has to cal
her by first name for she says that mar
Sriage is a private matter and should be
treated as such. and accordingly doesn'i
let us know whether she is Miss or Mrs
has the courage of her convictions; fol-
when the bill that will enfranchise al
Danish women is signed by King Chris
tian on June Helene proposes to run
for member of the diet. and she hasn't
a doubt that she, among other women
will be returned to this legislative body
In the meantime no silly tags for
Helene. "A woman is herself whether
she is married or not" says she en-
phatically, land does not need to be
labelled
Well perhaps this holds true for Helene
and her ilk-perhaps whether or not she
is married doesn't make any difference
to her one way or the other But doesn't
she show a little lack Of imagination. a
little lack of observation-disclosures when she
ter for any woman-and brands as use
less and foolish the custom-severaI CEN
turtles old-of indicating by a woman S
appellation whether or not she is mar
ried? OF course. marriage is a private
matter in a way, but so are names pr-
women have no life outside of their
private life. Their home and their circle
of intimate friends are their world.
To more than ninetynine women out
of a hundred marriage is stilI-and
mayhap always will be-a vocation and
ing and home keeping-and the Mrs.
before her name in these cases is like
the DR.. or the Rev, before the names
of physicians and cIerEymen. 1t tells
you something of her vocation and call
ing in life. For the one woman in a
hundred who has a public career out
side her married life what Helene
Berg says may be true.
But in the meantime why sputter
and fume about it? Did a woman ever
have to sacrifice anything in the way
Of a career just because she was
labelled" with Mrs. before her name.
is she whit less of an individual
just because her name tells you
whether or not she has a husband?
There would be rather more sense in
spending energy in an effort to label
men, too. with these silly tags" What
a deal of time anxious mammas would
be saved were all the young men but
thus classified; and how frequently our
curiosity would be satisfied were there
but something in the appelation of a
man that told as much as the Mrs or
Miss in a woman's name.

Some Don'ts for the Refrigerator,

Don't set hot cooked foods with strong
odors in the refrigerator. Cool the food
before putting it in the box.
Don't put meat directly upon the ice
It is safer in the food chamber. II the
amount of ice is very low. place meat
on granite pan and place pan on ice.
Don't use water from refrigerator for
drinking purposes.
Don't make the refrigerator a catch
all for odds and ends Of food. Keep
these used up in some way and save the
space for fresh material.
Don't leave food in box until it tells
by an offensive odor that 1t needs atten-
ton.
Don't cover shelves nor ice, as this
stops the air circulation.
Don't open ice compartment unless alb
solutely necessary.
