bad with the maiden líame cAub. Undaunted by ;thé
harrowing experience of the 'passport division of
the state department with thé maiden name travel
ers, the copywright division of the patent office has
undertaken to get away with high hatting the maid
en authors.* It has refused to copywright the pbems ,
of a married woman in Denver except under her
husband’s name. ;

What earthly reason can it have for wanting to
ring in the presumably non-poetical husband as
co-partner of the verse children of his wife is a
good deal of a mystery. If' its sense of propriety
demands this course, then - the only ooàèlustah is
that its sense of propriety is in need of a good air-
There aren’t so veiy many of these maiden name
ladies who have to fight the matter out with hotel
clerks, passport officials, paymasters and copywright
registers. But what they lack in numbers they made
up in determination. ' They seem to represent the
irresistible force which refuses to recognize that
there can be such a thing as ah immovable object.
If they can upset the apple cart of a g'ov'erimrent
bureau we guess they must be wbat they seem'.
While custom and convention are chiefly against
them the maiden ladies appear ta have the law 0n
their side — or at any rate the lack of it. » The
statutes arq said to be singularly silent about re
quiring a blushing bride to take on the groom’s
moniker along with the other baggage included in
the formula, “ With- all my wurdly goods I thee
endow.” They have moreover on their side the
growing disposition to recognize that the best way
to get along with them is to give them what they
want whether it is within reason or not.
Let the oopywright bureau beware. -
The Gaudy Clothier
We dislike to he disagreeing with the intellwfr-
tuals all the time, but we have just read about O.
A. Studdert Kennedy, chaplain to the king of Eng
land, who, in an address before?,-the national student
conference at Milwaukie the other day delivered a
tirade against “ the monkeydom of some Americans
who primp in fine and gaudy clothes, while millions
walk in rags and tatters.”
If the reverend chaplain means this merely as a
kindly plea to rich Americans to avoid a practice
common to concentrated wealth whenever found we
may accept his castigation of “ man’s passion to
show” as an excellent point. But if he intends to
imply that it is more common in America than ene-
where in the world and therefore needs special at
tention, then we think he might look closer home.
It'is probaW that he would consider the same kind
of “ tirade** against his royal patron as exceedingly
bad taste.
For some unexplained reason it appears to be
the custom to regard the use of recently acquired
wealth as vulgar while that possessed through gen-'
erations of inheritance is eminently respectable. It
is considered vulgar ostentation for the wife of the
mushroom millionaire to deck herself with diamond»»
hut it is in _perfectly good teste for a duchess to
sport a gem-studded tiara. It is an insensate luxury
for the lucky stock market speculator to build a
milliter dollar palace, but it is merely consistent
with the design of an all-wise providence for a duke
to occupy a cgstle which, represents the price of a
king’s ransom?
