Holland.
Every day passenger trains run from Ho-
land into Germany Formerly they We're carry

taken away from travellers, even cakes of soap.
When the train reaches the Dutch border
station passengers are not permitted to go into
the railroad restaurant to eat one more hearty
meal before proceeding 70 Germany. 1t is
'verboten'. But in the freight yards are train
loads of feed being shipped into Germany with
official sanction. There are carloads Of meat,
vegetables cheese and butter. Even the Off

trains into Holland to receive the food which
Holland permits to be exported. The Dutch

Spanish Woman Does Not Lose
Her Maiden Name at Marriage.

The brides maiden name is valued
In Spain and is not set aside by mar
riage. When a Spanish woman mar
ries she merely adds her husbands
name to her own. But never does she
lose her identity by dropping her
name entirely and taking over that Of
her husband. And to her intimates
she is known more by her maiden
name than her husbands.
More than that, an unmarried per-
son is known by both the mothers
and fathers name, Joined by the let
ter 'y." That makes the formal
name. Informally, a son, for instance.
is known only by his fathers name.
Thus person may be Smith y
Brown, or its equivalent, the father
being of one surname, and the mother
in her maiden days of the other. When
that person marries, to avoid compli-
cations the mothers name is dropped,
and the husbands name tackled on
with the aid of the prefix de" In
that way the "senorita" or "senora" is
unnecessary to distinguish married
from unmarried women.

Dinner ran off uneventfully, If enli-
vened by the quenchless animation Of
the Dowager Dragon, but Miss Car
teret, manifesting little appetite, sat
out the meal with downcast eyes, mute
save when courtesy dictated speech.
Later she found herself seated by her
Dragons side on the lee of the prone
made deck, in darkness save for the
beams from lighted ports. For a little
the girl relished all this with gladness.
But presently her spirits sagged again
and she grew drowsy, and fingered
from her bed only to please the
warm-hearted old woman who had
adopted ner pro tempore-'on suspi-
cion," as Mrs. Beggarstaff put 1t, not
without little harmless malice.
