What is a lady's title?
It started in France as "Madame" Young unmarried women are "Miss" and women's lib changed it to "Ms" so you don't know if the young woman is married or not married. "Mrs." is for married women and I don't mind the "Mrs." one darn bit. Even today many younger women are preferring to keep their own surnames in marriage and not take on the surname of their new husband. I can see this if a woman is famous or has started a company under their single surname. Some women will have her surname linked with that as your husband's" Mrs. Ryan-Jones.

Mrs. is when a women is married. Ms. is when they are not married. Miss is when thay are younger.

When addressing a sympathy card to a widow do you use Mrs. her name or Mrs. his name?
If you are writing to a widow whose last name is different from her husband's, you should use the title "Ms." with her name ("Ms. Brown," not "Mrs. Brown"). Even though she may use a different name from her husband's, it is unlikely that she would be upset if you used her husband's name ("Mrs. Smith" instead of "Ms. Brown"). After all, that name connects her to the man whose loss she is grieving, so she might like it.
If married is it mrs or ms?
This is a matter of personal preference. Many older married women prefer Mrs. and, in fact, many still prefer Mrs. "husband´s first and last name" -- ex., Mrs. John Smith rather than using their own name. Younger generations go either way and it´s a matter of choice. Many women keep their own surnames these days. In that case, the use of Ms. is appropriate. If you are addressing both: Mr. and Mrs. Smith; if the woman has kept her own surname: Mr. John Smith and Ms. Jane Brown. I usually use Ms. on all correspondence unless I know for certain the individual prefers Mrs. I'm a 21st century female.
What is the original word for Ms?
Since Women's Liberation came into play during the 1960s some women do not want to be titled as Mrs. or Miss so they have shortened it for both married to single women to Ms. It is not that common now to use 'Ms' but a good idea to use it in a letter if one does not know if the person they are writing to is a Mrs. or a Miss.
