in is Alfonso XIII_.

b. Titles used in place of the name with reference to a particular
person or to the present holder of an office.

_I hope when in Rome to see the Pope._
_He hoped some day to become pope._

c. Familiar names applied to a particular person.

_the Father of his Country._
_Unser Fritz._
_the Little Corporal._

d. Orders of knighthood and titles attached to them.

_Knight of the Garter_,
_Knight Commander of St. Michael and St. George_.

e. Titles used in direct address.

_Good morning, Mr. President._

f. Academic degrees in abbreviated form following a name.

_David Starr Jordan, Ph. D., LL. D._

So also letters following a name indicating membership of certain
scientific and artistic organizations.

_F. R. G. S._ (Fellow of the Royal Geographic Society).
_R. A._ (Member of the Royal Academy).

So also in the United States and Great Britain, _M. C._ (Member of
Congress) and _M. P._ (Member of Parliament).

Where a person has many titles the following of this rule involves
certain difficulties. Such a name as

_John Smith, A. M., D. D., Ph. D., L. H. D., D. C. L., LL. D._ is by
no means impossible.

In such a case the titles become much more prominent than the name and
the page is disfigured by the spotty appearance of the text. Small
capitals may sometimes be used with good effect in such a case but this
should not be done without obtaining proper permission.

The difficulty of handling these long and numerous titles in the
composition of title pages is sometimes considerable. Three methods of
dealing with the difficulty are open.

a. The honorary titles may be put in capitals regardless of the
unsightly appearance of the line.

b. The honorary titles may be put in a small size of the same face and
justified in the line. This lessens the undue prominence of the titles,
but puts the line out of balance.

c. The honorary titles may be put in a separate line, or lines, below
the name, set in small type, and spelled out in full. It is not
necessary to capitalize _jr._ and _sr._ in lower-case text matter unless
so desired by the author.

In compound titles capitalize each word if it would be capitalized
separately.

_Major General Leonard Wood_,
_Chief Justice Taney_,
_Commander-in-Chief Field_
_Marshal Sir John French_.

38. Names of things personified.

_Nature_, _Vice_, _Thrift_, and the like.
