your former husband for a number of
reasons First of all, the name may
have been needed for somebody else
in which case you would hardly have
wished to be Mrs. John Smith the first,
and therefore to have been conscious
always OF having been replaced. And,
also, you quite possibly would have un.
pleasant recollections of the Mrs. John
Smith era. La some instances q di.
vorcee even goes so far as to take
back the name of her pre-married
state, and become again Miss Jones
Be that as it may, you are at this
moment Mrs. John Smith, and in a
short time will announce that Mrs.
Mary Anne Smith is about to marry
James Brown. Complicated, possibly,
but correct as custom DEGREES.

to be wrong-and to ones glory"

We have just had a note from
widow who is 10 remarry, and with the
note q number of queries about the
how. when and why of this second
marriage, which is, as she says, not to
be like the first, but in just what way
does it differ? Also, this reader wishes
us to assist her in the matter of
selection of an article that is to be
a gift, that she may merely write to
a firm here and have the article sent
after / have selected It. This is not
usual, J. L. NJ, but neither is the situ-
alton, and l shall be delighted to help
you out, as you live so far away.
First, let us take up the matter Of
your name. You have been wrong
about the name, for from the time of
your husbands death up to the time
of your own or of your second mar
riage, you are and remain Mrs. John
Smith, except, of course. when signing
a note, for at that time it is decreed
that Mrs. Smith sign not Mrs. John
but Mary Anne Smith. You should
have used your husbands name all
these years, to have been correct in
the matter, but that is over and done
now. In the future. II Will not be a
question to worry about. AS for the
announcement, you Will announce
your coming marriage by saying that
