LORD PASSMORE’S DECISION. LONDON, October 16. 'A “gentleman who g°es under the fantastic miinq of Lord Passfieild,” as Mil's Sidney Webb once referred to her husband when the veteran Fabian wa* Secretary for th e Dominions in the last Labour Government, has dropped his 'title. The familiar names of Sidney and Beatrice Webb appear as those of th'e authors of .a forthcoming book entitled “Methorts of Social Study,” says the “Daily Mail,” indicating that the famous literary partnership is being resumed. “‘I never altered my name," Lord Passfield told >an interviewer. “I qm Sidney Webb to my publisher, my banker and my tailor, and when I lecture I am Sidney' Webb. “I make mo protest, against titles, but lauthoiyj have g odwill to consider, and Sidnev and T lattice Webb must continue with their names unchanged.”]
