And Husband May Become Popular Fad at Convention
The San Francisco Chronicle notes a fad from the biennial convention where delegates may list husbands on hotel registers by writing their business title as “husband.” Mrs H T Howe of Marshalltown Iowa and others led the practice. Mrs H Perkins of Placada followed, listing “Mrs H Perkins and husband Placada” at the Manx Hotel. Perkins is described as a designer and decorator with notable work in regional exhibits. California women are seen adopting the suggestion.
