While "Misses" may be the plural form of "Miss", Mrs. is the proper abbreviation for "Misses". Married women are called Mrs because they have taken their husbands names and are no longer the property of their fathers--yes, it's an old and annoying fact that women were once considered to be the property of first their fathers, then their husbands.

It's an abbreviation for Mistress (the plural, by the way, is Mmes. - Mesdames).

Miss = Ms. = non married lady / girl
Misses = Mrs. = married woman
In Frence:
Madam = married woman
Mademoiselle= non-married lady/girl
