"'That a school month snail

q The county board of educa-
ton shall not authorize the pay
ment of the salary of any teacher
or school official for q shorter
tenn than one month, unless ne
or she is providentially mndered
from completing the term.
"And upon those statutes l ad-
vised Superintendent ERWIN that
the law does not provide for the
payment of teachers salaries for
a period of less than a school
month of 20 teaching days. There
was no fact or suggestion that
any of the teachers had been
'providentially hindered from
completing the term

state school commission has
sought an opinion from this de-

It's usually taken for granted
that the close relatives Of the

for the bride-to-be.
It's apparent that this spon-
Soring Of showers by such close
relatives gives too much the i'm
preston that the party is a
promotion" However, this is
for the hostess to decide for her
self. In better taste is a lunch.

Is 1t ever good form for o
married woman whose husband
Is living, to be addressed as
Mrs. Mary Smith?" A says

B Is correct. An envelope ad-
dressed to a married woman Cor
to q widow should be addressed
with the formal name: Mrs. John
Smith. It is not good form to
use the first name in the formal
name.

Throwing Light on Lights"
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
Mr.. Jones escorts Miss Smith
to a dinner party. Miss Smith
asks for a cigarette. Mr.. Jones
hands her one and takes one
himself. In lighting the Gig
arctic, he takes the first light
and then lights Miss Smiths
with the same match. Mr..
Jones feels that this is the
proper thing to do, because he
gets all the sulphur. However.
Mr.. Brown disagrees. his opin.
ion is that the cigarette should
be lighted before it is handed
to Miss Smith. I do not think
that this is one bit sanitary.
Which Of the three is cor
rect?-T.
The proper thing is for the
man to light the match, and
hold it while the woman lights
her own cigarette. There isn't
enough sulphur to make this
