SIGNING ONES NAME

Ills it proper for me to use my maiden name after marriage as a middle name?
 Eff my husband was dead ought l to use his name and initials as Mrs. John s. Smith or Mrs. J. s. Smith, or should I use Mrs. Eliza Smith.
 3--Does it show love my husband less or have less respect for him by using my name Mrs. Eliza Smith? (Answer)--1--It is not unconm on nowadays for married women to sign their own Christian name, their maiden surname and their husbands $ surname as their signature. There is value in this, as it preserves the family identity of the married wo- man, but the question of it's legality may always be raised The fact, however, that "a divorced woman. while she may continue to use her husbands surname, should replace his Christian and middle name with her own Christian and her maiden surname, is, one strong objection to it's usage by happily married wo- men.
 2--You violate no canons of good Smith. It is usually understood from a card inscribed Mrs. Eliza smith that the bearer thereof is a widow However, when the mother of a mar ried son who bears his f@+i-c--'~ name in full finds herself a widow, it is somewhat more dignified for her to resign the Christian names of her late husband to her daughter-in-law.

THE MANCHESTER
 GUARDIAN IN U. S.

The Manchester Guardian, pub Eshed at Manchester, England, is be- ginning a campaign for readers in America. That paper probably made a greater advance during the war than any other paper in the world To many newspapermen, 1t now stands out as the foremost English paper, having supplanted The London Times in the estimation of a great many.
 So thoroughly and carefully did The Manchester Guardian handle the war news; so complete an under standing did it have as to conditions at all times that its views were sought by men the world over generally and itsc o1umns were quoted everywhere.
 With the war of the armies ended, that paper is now taking up the pro- blems of peace in the same manner in which it handled the problems of war. It is getting out a weekly edition, and men who want to keep in touch with the best English thought could not do better than to subscribe for that paper. The paper is authorative and independent, serving no faction, creed or clique, it's columns always serving the reading public
 The paper has opened an American office at 220 West 42d street, New York.

. She's your very best friend, and you want to give her something dainty and personal to assure her that you consider her your very best friend. Then make her an exquisitely intimate thing like the negligee pie tured today.
 Make it of marquisette, or chiffon, Or crepe georgette, and trim it with worsted spider webs. Jade chiffon with peacock blue worsted and a pea cock blue cord and tassel around the waist, and after that some satin tea roses sprinkled here and there ought to make a perfectly delectable little garment of this.
 As far as cut is concerned, this adorable bit of intimacy hasn't any thing about 1t that you can't see quite readily for yourself, nor that is any too difficult for successful amateur re- production. Two lengths of material wide enough to stretch from wrist bone to wristbone when the arms are extended will suffice for the making. The two pieces are tackled at the shoulders, and twice again along the arms. Then a slash is made at each side, and back and front are scanned into graceful semblance of sleeve. Thereafter comes one long slash at side front, providing means Of en- trance, and finally appears most charminglv irregular hem line.

CHARITY SISTERS HOLD DONATION
 DAY

Sisters of Charity of St. Vincent's hospital are making their annual ap- peal to their friends and all those interested not to forget them on Thanksgiving Day, which is the reg u1ar Donation Day of the society. The hospital has no fund of endowment and must depend entirely upon vol untary contributions with which to make Improvements in the building, and enlarge the various wards.
 The following appeal is sent out by the society to the public:
 Because of the pressing indebted ness of our hospital; of the constant need for renovation and repair of ex- isting buildings; and, principally, with the hope of raising funds for a new wing to relieve congestion in wards and rooms, we have thought it necessary to appoint one day in the year, and that day Thanksgiving Day, as a Donation Day, when those who are charitably disposed may present their offerings.
 Unlike many hospitals of the present day, St. Vincent's hospital has no fund of endowment, but must de- pend upon the voluntary contributions of it's friends for any improvements. We are aDOut to open our new 1SOIa- ton building for the treatment of contagious diseases, and during the past year we have remodeled our kitchen Cbecame inadequate for our growing needs), and installed a cold storage and ice-making plant.
 "Itwould be our pleasure to present to our patrons a perfectly equipped in- stitution, with facilities for carrying g on our work in the most advanced methods, and for the realization of this, we ask that you give generously on this one day.
 Many of you are acquainted with our hospital and its manageme lent; others are to meet us in future afflic- tion and sorrow. Shall we be disap- pointed when in other cities of even less population and prosperity, an ap- peal such as we now put forth has been met with a. universal enthusi- asm We await your answer.
 ''To all we pledge our best efforts, and pray that the hundredfold may be yours from the Giver of all good gifts

MARY BERRY.

Miss Mary Berry, who died in Lon don in 1852, was the last link be- tween the closing 18th century and the mid-Victordan era. She was an authoress, and gloried in being the correspondent of Horace Wa1po1e. Indeed, this celebrated gentleman made her a, fervent offer of his heart and his hand, but Miss Mary Berry declined the honor. With her sister she took up her abode at Twicken- ham, near Strawberry Hill, WaIpole's estate. It was Miss Mary Berry who prevailed upon Walpole to give to the world his famous Ren1iniscences of the Courts Of George l. and II. ;" Brave as a lion she defended the name of Walpole before the savage attacks of Macaulay in the Edin- burgh Review. We owe to her some of the most charming Letters of Wal pole.

. Giving Up Ones Seat in Street Cars. --Is there any rule that makes it inn perative for a man to give up his seat to a woman in street cars?
 (Answer) There is no such rule or formal etiquette compelling a man to resign his seat to a woman unless she is elderly, lame, has a child in her arms, or appears overburdened with parcels. When a man wishes to yield his seat, he rises, and by a glance or touch on her arm indicates his in tention, lifting his hat at the same time and moving off a little distance, thus signifying that he wishes to take no advantage of the slight obligation she is under.

When you have a fair quantity on hand, fry the lengths until brittle and golden brown, pour off the hot fat and use for dripping, then put the crisp pieces through a mincer.
