TITLES FOR WOMEN.
ETIQUETTE GF 0.8. E. London, Jan. 1. The 1921 issues of Burke and Debrett, have swollen beyond recognition on account of war honors, which have added to the list 84 peerages, 200 baronetcies. 1940 knights, 18,219 companions, and over 26,000 members of the British Empire Order. Burke, declaring the title dame as a much-prized honor, ij;ates that the correct use the title is to prefix the Christian name, for example, “Da mo Mary Smith.” Debrett states that some British Empire dames object to this style, using the title “Lady,” which is distinctly unautnorised, confusing points of precedence, and detracting from the personal character and honor of the title.
