"MARY JANE."
It is satisfactory-to note that "Mary Jane," or "Mary Ann," or plain "Mary" is no longer to ibe a term synonymous with the menial. "Mary" is a name which will henceforth be quite fashionable. For does' not Her Gracious Majesty the Queen rejoice in that poetic and illustrious title in nomenclature? And are not the "Marys" of the Empire—which, of course, embrace the "Mary Janes'/ and the "Mary Anns"—going to distinguish themselves by presenting their namesake with * an appropriate gift at the Coronation? There is, apparently, no particular virtue in heing a woman. *JI the merit lies in having boon christened "Mary." And, as "Mary" had a
little iamb, she would not object to the . *t3cing operation, if it be only to j<.-.it'y tdie insane whim of some ■ sociev woman at Home who wishes to bring herself into prominence. But what have the Georges done?
