Formal Name
of Divorce
liy MRS. CORNELIUS BEECKMAN

10y OhNELIOS DEECANIAN
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
I would like to know the cor
rect way to address a letter to
a divorced woman? Mrs. Lii.
liam Williams is divorced from
Robert Smith. Please tell me
how to address her? I have
asked at least 10 people, and
nobody is sure about it!
READER.
The correct form of name for
a divorce to adopt is the sur.
name of her maiden name pre-
fixed to the surname of her
married name. That is, in this
case, the use of the name Mrs.
Williams Smith.
Let me explain why this Is
the best form. In the first
place, it is not correct for a
married woman, a widow or a
divorced woman to use her
first name with Mrs. in her
formal name. The formal name
of a married woman is Mrs.
Robert Smith. The formal
name of a widow is also Mrs.
Robert Smith. And the formal
name of divorced woman is
Mrs. William Smith.
For any of these women to
use, for her formal name chat
is, the name she would use on
her visiting cards, the name
we would use on envelopes ad-
dressed herr, the name Mrs.
Lillian Smith, is extremely bad
taste 1t just shouldn't be done.
So many women. when they
are divorced, Immediately adopt
their names with the first
names after the Mrs.-Mrs.
Lillian Smith. This is incor-
rect. The form of name that
is thoroughly dignified and cor
rect for them to use is a form
that will dignifiedly indicate
that they are divorced. The
use OF the surname OF the
maiden name with the surname
Of the married name does this
Mrs. Williams Smith.
If a divorce feels that she
Just must indicate her first
name in her name in some way
(although she shouldn't feel
this way, then her only re-
course is to use the initial: Mrs.

LOVelOrn
He's Sorry
For Her
BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX

BY BEATRICE FAlEFAA
Famous Authority on Lone and
Marriage
Dear Miss Fairfax:
After a while, about five years,
I got tired of a married woman
who left her home and came to
seek my protection. We were
both too young then to realize
the folly of that arrangement,
which had all the trials OF we'd
lock, with none of its advan-
tages.
When I told this lady that
our association together was no
longer possible she left me with
out a scene or a single accusa-
ton. 1 was all ready for q
scene, and it was horrible to see
her getting ready to go and say
ing nothing but "Goodby; !
hope you'll be happy"
Since then she has known
humiliation, want, hunger; but
she has never applied to me.
Her family has cast her off, she
occupies a mental position, and
I meet her sometimes on the
street, looking forlorn and old
for her age. This gives me slabs
of conscience, and I go home to
my charming young wife with
o sense Of guilt.
If the woman I deserted
raised Cain and made demands
and scenes, somehow I should
feel better. It's my opinion
that the man pays, and as IN
my case, pays in a very debased
type of coin.

VuuNVAOAS
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
Will you please advise me il
it is correct to rise as a mark
of respect when introduced to a
man Of about As years Of age
who happens to be a religious
instructor?
The person who wishes to
know is 18 years of age and
studied with this instructor
She is a girl, if that makes any
difference. F.
First let me say that, even if
the girl is 10 and the man As.
the man is introduced to the
girl. And it wasn't necessary
for the girl to rise when she
acknowledged this introduction.
However, if she wished to
rise, as a mark Of respect. 1t
would not be incorrect for her
to do so.

Utilities Commission Opens
Quiz to Eliminate Con.

AID is PROMISED
IN REROUTING LINES
Hearing to Consider Use of Ar.
lington Memorial Bridge for
Virginia Systems.

Efforts to force four city and sub
urban bus lines now using downtown
streets for terminals to obtain off,
street stations were begun today at a
hearing before the Public Utilities
Commission at the District Building.
The hearing is the outgrowth Of a
special study made by a co-ordinating
committee that began its investiga-
tions nearly a year ago. Interstate
bus lines already have been forced not
only to cease using curb parking
spaces, but also have been forced out
Of the congested area south Of New
York avenue.
Four bus companies now are using
curb stations within a comparatively
small area in the congested zone and
it is these that the commission hopes
to force to establish off-street ter
minals.
They are the Alexandria. Bancroft
and Washington line, using both sides
of D street between Tenth and Eley-
enth streets; the Washington, Virginia
and Maryland line, known as the
Arnold Line. on Twelfth street between
F and G streets; the Arlington Fairfax
line, on Tenth street between D and
E streets, and the Washington Rapid
Transit Co.. on Twelfth street i'm
mediately south of G street.
Traffic Statistics Offered.
The entire opening session was
taken up with the presentation of a
series of maps and statistical tables
indicating the effect upon traffic and
parking Of the curbstone terminals.
They were presented by Fred A. Sager,
chief engineer of the commission,
who said each parked bus occupies
from 80 to so feet at the curb from
to 13 minutes during the rush hours.
Later Sager suggested to the commits
sion that when new terminals are
established that new routes be fixed
for the bus lines to avoid, as far as
possible, the streets on which street
car lines now are established.
He pointed out that in the area
between Seventh and Fifteenth streets,
five north and south streets now are
occupied by car lines.
Will Aid in Rerouting.
The commission already had indi-
Gated it will help to change present
routing when terminals are obtained,
but that it will do nothing to assist
in procuring the necessary new termi-
nal sites.
A number of business men whose
stores and shops are in the area now
congested by bus parking and who
have protested against the condition
were present, as we'll as about two
score representatives of the bus COM
panies.
In the call for the hearing the COM
mission also announced plans to give
some consideration to the use of the
Arlington Memorial Bridge for Vir-
ginia bus lines in order to remove
them from Key Bridge, the use of
which necessitates the use of M street
in Georgetown by the buses.
The co-ordinhting committee on
whose recommendation the hearing
was called was composed of w. A. Van
Duzer, director of vehicles and traffic;
H. c. Whitehurst. director of high
ways: Inspector B. A. Lamb of the
Traffic Bureau; Capt. Patrick j. Car
roll of the Park Police; Edward H.
Thomas, assistant corporation counsel.

life to the heroism of her 16-year-old
brother and Central High School
swimming star who yesterday saved
her from the icy waters Of the Po-
tomac River when the 24-foot cat
boat, Dbahj, occupied by Sea Scouts,
capsized between Hams Point and the
point at the Army War College
grounds.
The little girl, nine youths and the
Sea Scouts skipper, Arnold L. Larson,
20, 207 Sixteenth street southeast, .
f1rst-class gunners' mate at the Wash
ington Navy Yard, were all rescued q
little later clinging to the overturned
bottom of the boat by two officers in
a police boat from the harbor pre-:
cinct.
Pushed Out Of Cabin.
Inside the boats cabin, when the
ballast suddenly slipped and an extra
puff Of wind started it over on its
side, La Verne was pushed free Of
the cabin by her brother, James r.
Ritchie, a second-year student at
Central High School.
As she hit the water. James yelled
to Ballard Jameson, II, I'll Shepherd
street, Central High School senior and
member of the swimming team which
Saturday won the South Atlantic
championship in the school meet in
Baltimore.
Jameson, who had jumped. swan
quickly to the side Of La Varne and
with the aid of Larsen, the skipper,
and the child's brother, got her to the
side of the boat There they caught
the side and placed her on the bottom
of the overturned craft.
Meanwhile the others had succeeded
in reaching the overturned boat and
climbed up on the bottom.
Police Hear Shout.
Policeman T. D. Bailey and W. E.
Davis of the harbor precinct were
cruising nearby when suddenly Bailey
shouted: There she goes" as the sails
on the craft, laden with its youthful
pleasure seekers, dipped into the
water.
Davis and Bailey proceeded at full
speed toward the overturned "Dbahj"
and reached 1t just as the weight Of
those standing on its bottom had
carried it completely under the surface
in one of the deepest sections Of the
channel.
With the aid of boat hooks they
succeeded in getting all on board the
police boat and rushed them to the
harbor police station. From there all
returned home in automobiles and
today seemed none the worse for their
experiences.
Except for the little girl, all hands
on the Scout boat are swimmers.

D. c. ESTATESLAW
UPHELD BY COURT
NaturaIized Citizen Allowed
to Succeed Consul as
Administrator.

The District law governing estates
supersedes any international treaty
conferring right of administration OF
the estate Of an alien upon his con-
sular representative here, and an ad-
ministrator may therefore be appoint
ed in conformity with the local stat
ute, the Court of Appeals of the Dis
trict held today.
The decision is considered of i'm
portance, in that this principle is laid
down in this Jurisdiction for the flrst
time, although it previously has been
enunciated elsewhere.
The case grew out Of the death here
on December "a, 1888, of George Ka-
linoglu, q Greek national, proprietor
Of q restaurant, who was killed In an
automobile accident. He was survived
by his parents, two brothers and two
sisters, all residing in Greece, except
one of the brothers, Abraham, . natur-
allied American, . local resident, who
was temporarily in Greece visiting his
parents.
Consul Appointed.
Nicholas G. Lely, acting Greek con-
sui, was appointed administrator for
Kalinoglu's estate, but on the return
Of the brother, he petioned the court
for revocation Of Lely's appointment,
and asked that he be named adminis-
traitor in his stead. He was upheld
by the lower court, and the appeal fol-
lowed.
Lely fell back on the Greek consular
convention, holding that 1t conferred
upon him paramount rights OF admin
istration.
Quotes Cardozo.

In the decision written by Justice Gro.

Of several States, including those Of
