The most important aspect of this reading ol the tablet, however, is not the identification of Adam and Noah, but the acquittal of Eve of Adam's temptation, and if this is accepted womankind is relieved of a grievous burden which has been borne for many centuries." Kansas, the glorious Sunflower State, has taken the lead in giving to woman all that she wants, and possibly something more. In that Stale here are some tilings that a woman can legally do: Can lake back her maiden name after her husband is dead, without any legal process or legislative act. Can keep her own name when she is married. Can persuade her husband to take her name and give up his family name, if she does not like it. Can keep her maiden name and her husband keep his. Can retain her maiden name for business transactions and use her husband's name for social affairs. If wife does not like either her own or husband's family name they can change to a name thai does suit. A woman can weara man'scloth ing without any restriction except that she must not pose as a man. Site can vote at every election. She can hold any office in the State and run for ('ongress.
