pediments to an individual career
outside the home.
This group of women following the
principle of only one name for one
woman is growing. 1t includes
some of the highest types of woman
hood. These feel offended at the
thought that others also avoid the
conventional in the same way but
for different reasons-as faddists
and self-exploiters. But with the
substantial element the departure
is regarded as a serious necessity
and valuable contribution to prop-
ress. They are fully aware that the
percentage of women who agree with
them is very low, as shown by the
fact that comparatively few mar
rled women even think of wearing
the wedding ring without the mar
riage name. But they say, with ear
nestness and truth, that every great
cause was started by a few who
suffered even stigma and the scorn
of nations while fighting for some
principle, considered outlandish then
but of common acceptance to-day
such as woman suffrage.

a MANTLE. which merely hangs
about her and which one may
safely twitch and pull, but a per-
fectly fitting garment, which, like
the skin, has grown over and
over, at which one cannot rake
and scrape without injuring the
woman herself"
To this philosophy many women
subscribe, including women in the
professions, who, however, do not
do so for professional reasons, but
on principle, like Miss Lucille Pugh,
lawyer. Miss Pugh was married
for eight years without the public's
knowing the fact. 1t transpired
only when she instituted suit for
divorce against Roy f. Pierce.
Secrecy sometimes exempliies the
idea that woman's status is
something strictly personal to her
and not Of public concern.
Miss Rodman, for instance, had
acquired a considerable reputation
as an opponent of the Board of
Education's bylaw that a teacher in
the public schools, if married, must
register that fact with the board,
an attempt being made then to bar
married teachers from serving.
Miss Rodman was married on Feb
ruary II, 1918, at Norwalk, Conn.,,
and the fact remained a secret for
many months; likewise, the fact
that she had adopted two children.
One remarkable fact in Miss Rod
mans case is that she was known
at the apartment house where she
and her husband lived, not as Mrs.
de Fremery or Miss Rodman, but
as Mrs. Rodman. Among the
prominent cases she stands alone in
making the marital prefix part of
her maiden name. Mr.. de Fremery
has since shortened his name to
Defrem.

Those Annoying Judges

Hence it is distinctly annoying to
learn of a courts holding that a
married woman can not be sued
under her maiden name, on the
ground that it is the name of ficti-
tious person! And when the court
holds that woman can not sign
away her dover rights other than
by use of her marriage name, the
offensive necessity arises for using
the conventional cognomen, offset
by an insistent inclusion of the
maiden name by way of addition.
Not the least embarrassing is the
dilemma Of the hotel register.
Where the woman whose maiden
name survives her marriage is widely
known the difficulty almost disap-
pears, but not completely, for one
Of the best known of these conven-
ton defiers was forced to blush
when questioned by hotel proprie-
tor who had never heard that Miss
So-and-so was the wife of Mr..

registered.
The women whose cases are most
interesting are those who stick to
their maiden names because of prin-
ciple. Countless others do SO, or
continue to use professional name
1T fanciful origin, for mere eco
nOmic reasons.
What prompts a>woman to f1out
convention and even face great en-
barrassment for the sake of an
empty principle?

maiden name retention say, is in sup

slight thing, but it is held to be
something of extreme Importance in
the case of men.
There are numerous situations
that reveal an unconscious recogni-
ton Of the fact that woman who
takes her husbands name at mar
rage renounces something Of her
earlier individuality; for instance,
the query Who is she now?' and the
provincialism, 'her that was Maria

fies her resentment Of Identification

IT she had to trade socially upon his

ga wife theoretically shares her
husbands name equally. But in real
lty the name always remains his,
because he possessed it so long be-
fore. SO in renouncing her maiden
name she does not get another in
its place that is her own. The hus-
band naturally feels an intensified
responsibility for whatever action
or expression of thought on her part
may attach to his name. Women
whose husbands were anti-suffrage.
TOR instance, in contributing money
to the suffrage cause often did so
anonymously, to avoid embarrass-
ment to the husband, yet thus suf-
fering a submergence on their own
account, which shows the impractical
blllty Of sharing the husbands name
tor all purposes. The wife must
safeguard his most ancient possess
slon-his name-from any conflict
ing association, while her own ex-
preston of personality and identity
IS sometimes foreclosed. She has no
individual symbol left beyond her
Christian name.

father she asserted herself an
American citizen and beyond the
pale of punishment by deportation.
Miss Goldman, married or not,
was always known as Miss Goldman.
Hers was not an unhappy marriage,
she says, but she felt that she was
unfit for the ordinary pursuits of
married life" because of the great
call she heard from the cause of
anarchism. The fire burned with
in her like holocaust that
could not be resisted, she said, and
before which all else must perish,
Her mission was to make anarch-
ism spiritual factor in the nation,
and until then, she felt, she could
not return to her husband. Hence
the prospects of reunion, should
he be alive, are rather remote.
Miss La Toilette has spoken on
radical subjects at many meetings
in New York. She, too, feels it is
mo business of the world whether a
woman is married." She was strong
ly pro-suffrage, and the ants used
to raise the question of her maiden
name, asking her whose name the
children took and whether, perhaps.
the girl took the mothers name and
the boys the fathers.
Similarly, the question was raised
against Miss Perkins on the floor
of the New York State Senate, when
her nomination as Industrial Com
missioner was up for confirmation.
Senator George F. Thompson said !:
"When she got married she con-
tinued to use the name that had
become identified with her agitation
She would not call herself by her
marriage name"
Senator Edward ]. Dooley said
"The United States Supreme
Court in 1883 held that there was
nothing in law to compel wife to
use her husband S. name"
Sometimes professional reasons
and principle combine to impel a
woman to reject her husbands
name. In the case of Mrs. Nina
Wilcox Putnam, who gained a repu.
tation as an author, she could not

vorced her first husband and failed
to ask for alimony.
II could not accept money from a
man no longer my husband," she
said, "and only the gravest necessity
warrants a departure from this
course-as where a woman has
children to support and has no
means with which to do So"

A name is kind of face, svhercby
one is kno,cM.-Thomas Fuller.
IF YOU keep closely in touch
with public affairs to know the
names Of the chief state Off
Gals of New York and should
chance to read in your daily paper
of some official action by Mrs. Paul
C. Wilson, State Industrial Com
missioner, you probably would at
once accuse the writer of the article
of ignorance of the identity of the
person in question.
And should you see mention of
Mrs. George Middleton, the we'll
known actress and advocate of the
rights of labor, you might puzzle
your brain to recall any actress and
advocate Of that name.
Certainly, you would feel that
either you were inexcusably ignor-
ant or the newspaper had fallen into
ludicrous error should you en-
counter reference to Mrs. Robert
J. Sanderson, author of some of the
most popular fiction of the day,
whose stories are regularly featured
in THE Saturday Evening Post"
Mrs. Herman de Fremery, the we'll
known New York teacher. might
mean nothing to you, and it, no
dou BIT, would mystify you to be told
that Mrs. Walter Fuller is one of
the most prominent of radicals.
Aided by the following explanation,
however, the situation will be clar-
flied for you:
Mrs. Paul C. Wilson holds the
Office of State Industrial Commits
sioner and is universally known
by her maiden name Of Miss
Frances Perkins.
Mrs. George Middleton, daugh-
ter of the senior Senator from
Wisconsin, retains her maiden
name of Miss Fola LaFollette.
You will recognize Nina Wilcox
Putnam as the "well-known au-
thor" although you didn't know
who was meant when she was re-
ferred to as Mrs. Robert J.
Sanderson.
And Mrs. Herman de Fremery
is Miss Henrietta Rodman, who
also insists upon being known by
her maiden name.
With these women, as with many
another, the marriage name is SUBJ
merged, rarely enough heard of and
purely incidental, if indeed it exists
at all. Many women who retain
their maiden names when they marry
are firmly convinced that the name
they cling to is the only name they
have, both in fact and in law, what
ever some judges may say.
