A DIVORCES
SIGNATURE
IMrs. CorneIius Beeckmanl
MRS .BEEcKMAN:

nEAR MRS .BEEcKMAN:
~ / have been told that It
is not proper to use the prefix
Mrs" if you are divorced
woman and the man is married
again. Should / use Mrs. Edna
Wales" or Edna Wales" only.
I have two babies. e. w.
Indeed, most divorced women
use the prefix Mrs. AL DO,
unless they have especially re.
quested that they have their
maiden names restored. The best
form for a divorced woman to
use for her name is the last
name Of her maiden name as
the prefix before the last name
of her married name. This is
the form that most divorced
women use now, and / ithink
that it is very dignified form.
For example,: Edna Porter
marries Henry Wales and later
divorces him. She then uses
the name Mrs. Porter Wales.
This is the form that she would
use, for instance, on her visiting
card.
Her business letters she would
sign like this:
Very truly yours.
Edna Porter Wales.
MrsA Porter Wales),
nEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
IL What are the proper
clothes to be worn by young
lady for an afternoon wedding to
be held at hotel?
2. Same question as above for
a young man. G. B.
For a day wedding a woman
wears her most formal day
clothes. That is, either an after.
noon dress and coat, or, better,
an ensemble suit. Since a formal
wedding Is one of the most
formal of all occa sions she
should dress as formally and
carefully as possible. She should
wear her best looking hat, and
white or gray gloves. Very
light gray suede gloves are in
perfect taste for daytime we'd
ding.
2. A gentleman should wear
formal day clothes-that is, cut
trousers. His only alternative
and most informal substitute
it is and not at all correct-ts
the dark business suit.
nEAR MRS, BEECKMAN:
~ VIII you please advise me
whether 1t is proper for a
bridesmaid to wear white with a
colored flower on the shoulder
and colored shoes? Ii.
1t is not customary for the at
PENDANTS OF the bride to wear
white, even If some of the aces
sories Of the costume are of other
colors. However. one could not
say that it Is not proper for the
attendant TO wear white. If the
bride plans That she is to wear
it. But usually brides wish to
reserve the bridal color, white,
for their own gowns. Then, too,
the color in the costumes OF the
attendants are supposed to form
a background and contrast for
the bridal gown.
nEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
~ Is it proper to call law
, Yer counsel" or just Mr..
Brown" when addressing him?
GLORIA.
"Gr. Brown" is correct.

Firemen this morning were still pour

threatened To destroy the entire plant
Of the Seymour Cotton Oil Mill, to-
gether with its contents valued at

swered an emergency call and with
the Seymour company fought so val

down to about $4,000 TO the stock Of
linters. cake. meal and hulls and Sl5.-
GOO TO the plant.
The fire broke out in the hull house
on the north side of the plant and the
30 mile norther blew the flames over
to the main buildings, so that for a
time it seemed as ii nothing could
save them from destruction.
Some 5000 bales in the cotton yard
some 400 fee. away were also serious

held to % bales. Three Of six box
