according 20 Henry G. Palmer. a LAWYER
Of Kansas City. who Is at the New Wii-
lard
Jackson says married woman
doesn't have 70 take tho name ~ her
husband unless she wants to. that a hus-
band can take the name OF his wife. If he
sees IT. or that both can change names
without even resorting TO the courts or
20 the legislature.
The opinion was rendered an a case
submitted By Secretary of state Denton
added the Kansas lawyer. "a woman
VINO was notary public married She
wanted 70 know y she could still serve
as notary under the commission granted
her in her maiden name The attorney
general held that she could. bur remarked
that since she was now married she
should drop the notary public business
and attend % her household duties.
i suppose these ar. peculiar views for
you people here in the East bur they
are looked upon IS logical and just out
