THE AWKWARD “MRS.”
Single as Well as Married Women
Once Carried This Title.
A curiously awkward word. If it be
a word. Is "Mrs.” It Is not spelled as
it Is pronounced—no one but a Welsh­
man or a Pole would be equal to pro­
nouncing it as It is spelled—and ita pro­
nunciation la a clumsy contraction of
the good old English designation “mis­
tress.”
In the days of old. when leisure bad
not become, as It is now, almost a tor-
gotten luxury and people were less
anxious to clip their speech, the full
pronunciation was often used, and
“mistress” was not altogether elbowed
out of existence by the vulgar ‘‘missis.”
But nowadays “mistress” has drop­
ped out. and consequently the con­
tracted pronunciation of "Mrs." has
prevailed and holds tbe field.
Another point worth noting In the
history of the designation Is that about
150 years ago and earlier "Mrs.” was
applied quite Impartially to unmarried
as well as married ladies. Eveu chil­
dren were sometimes styled "Mrs.”
The burial of an Infant daughter of
John Milton, who died at the age of
five months, Is recorded In the parish
register of St Margaret. Westminster,
and her name Is entered as “Mrs. Kath­
erine Milton.” followed by a small “c,"

this may be regarded as an exceptional
use of the title.—St. Janies’ Gazette.
