yernlng W- know my . sentiments
tn regarda to the Lucy Stone League

' efit of the hicks I
will exclaim is the
1 e a g u e . that , is
fight ins tor the
right of -wife, to
p, their" own
original name no
matter how many
times tay get
married. ?. 1
Like for inst.
suppose -you was
b'o r n with . the
name Evelyn Hoops, why no matter
If yon married Geo. Flint, Asa Gault
and Simon-Aldrich on. 3 successfnll
Saturdays, your name is still Evelyn
Hoops.
Well
If- 1
' ' : kee
friends as a red he blooded
American that loves the great out
doora , I must say that the proposl-
ion looks dangerous to me looking
at it from- all angles though . theys
and some of my. best friends 1 Lucy
Stonera. . ,
But suppose for Inst, that theys
party, some night nd amongst the
attendants at same is a lady who la
the , wife of ' v man - named J ulea
Clark but she is traveling under her
called maiden name of. ..Edith
Grabble, i "Well Julea Clark la unable
to, tend the party on acct, of Mm be
ing the night editor of & morning pa
per and this ain't his night off.
"Well amongst the other guest la'
gil named Wilmar Floy who has got
a i kind ,of peculiar ' habit, namely
when she gets a. certain No. of cock
tans into her ' she' wants- to ten all
abont other partys she haa been on. i
, ;J -A; ... e : - ,
"Well she ', haa been Introduced td
thla other dame by : the name of
Edith.; Grabble and she aint got no
idear that; Edith is married to thla
here Clark, So it happens that her
and Edith gets parked together near
the came ash tray' and all of a' sud
den she opens up and says: :
.This is some party but wished
yon could of been along, on oae we
a great deal to: bo said on both sides bad at Atlantic City . the last Ume
the Elks wajf there. . I met a man
that had a at. n either hip and all
ready boiled' and before I could say
yea or no he throwed his arms
around me and said I was the only
girl In the rm. His name was Jules
Clark and he was the night editor -of
the Morning Planet... It was some
party." - v ' '"
Those kind of possIbOiUea la the
kind of cases where it makes a he
blooded red American atop and think
and wonder If they aint carrying a
Joke too tar. . " i r ,
But on the other hand suppose
theys a gal hamed Lena. Spits which
is. more truth than poultry, because
khowed a gal by that name. Well
she gets a proposal from a man
named Harold Lambeth, as pretty, a
name as you can find. . She .agrees to
marry JIarold and then what hap
pena? ." ; , ' ; : ;'
Why If she calls herself Mrs. Har
old Lambeth her sisters In the Lucy
League will say what a fine back
slider yon are to take your husband's
name and loose your own Individu
ality. Where as It she decides to be
knowed .-. under" her own. original
name,. why every time she Is Intro
duced to somebody . theys a vulgar
gall of merriment. : '.-"I'-'J -v .
On the other hand leave us suppose
your name is Chas. Settles and the
gal's name is Madoa Rash. ' ; Ton
agree and then Marion spends the
rest of her life in . mental' tortures
wandering if she would be better off
If I got rid of the rash said tried the
nettles. . - " '
Laying all Jokes to 1 side or the'
other, I would suggest that In the
case where the man's name Is more
ridiculous than- the dame's, why she
should keep hold of her own and vice
versa. Where as tf the 2 of thera
haa both got ridiculous names they
should ought to giro op the. name ,
Idear entirely and go by cumbers.
Convicts don't seem to be bo worse
oft by being knowed by numbers so
a man that wants to get married. .
should ought to be allowed to take
a marriage license number the same
like you get when yon buy an auto
mobile. .. :",
Like tor Inst, suppose you are mar
ried in 1922. why from then en your
name Is 19ZS-47S-SO and your wife's
nam. Is l::-47-lStt and yoa can
call her 4 :for short. Or halvy. ;
But when all Is said an' doae I
dont know If ' the whole question
makes a whole lot of difierents la a
person's happiness through life and
I know of several cases where a
woman calling herself Gertrude
Pulver Is haveing Just as miserable.
a time aa though ah called herself
lira. Ralph Clay, and on the other
hand I know a husband right here
on Long's Island that calls his wife J
all the names he can think of and It
don't seem- to make them friends,
Theys a catch somewheres. -
