Thomas Joseph Balenovich, who
said his fiancee objected to his name,
petitioned the District Court late yes

Most people mistake him for a
Russian, the 23-year-old social Sc
curity employe told the court, whereas
he was born in Youngstown, Ohio,
and is an American.
That was bothersome enough. But
then the young woman he hopes to
marry began to intimate that she
thought short name, like her own,
was much better than long one like
Balenovich, so Balenovich decided it
was time for action.
Justice James M. Proctor said he
would grant the request unless some

New Potatoes
And Peas

For a springtime lyric, there's
nothing more appropriate than
creamed new potatoes and peas.
The flavor of the peas and pota-
toes blend perfectly. This recipe
uses with them a thin white sauce
but many who have enjoyed this
dish for years prefer only cream
or rich top milk.

Boil peas until tender. Melt the

Etiquette
By MRS. CORNELIUS BEECKMAN

By MRS. CORNELIUS BEECKMAN
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
"Please tell me the proper way
to express my pleasure to a hostess
after having attended her lunch
con or dinner party. Should call
at her home, or call her on the
telephone?
How should a lady sign her
name after her husbands death,
Mary Smith or Mrs. John Smith?
"B,"
You may, properly, call on your
hostess, to say your thank-you. Or
you may telephone to her, eX-
pressing your appreciation Of her
hospitality.
Or, most graciously too. you
may write her, a day or so after
the party, a note of appreciation.
Something like this:
Dear Mary:
ut was a perfect party, and
you and George are perfect hosts!
I had such happy time, and my
heart is full of thanks to you two
friends. 1t was such a joy to meet
your charming friends, and to
share your hospitality.
Dearest love to you both, and /
do hope that I am to see you again
very soon.
"DevOtedIy."
The forms of name-formal and
informal - that a woman used
when her husband was living, are
the forms that she should use
when she is a widow.
Her formal name is Mrs. John
Smith, and this is the name that
would still be on her visiting card,
on the listing in the telephone
book, on all envelopes that are
addressed to her.
Her informal name is Mary
Brown Smith, and this is, in gen.
eral, the name she uses in the
indirect signature to letters that
are not to close friends.
To close friends her letters are,
naturally, signed with only her
first name.
Letters to people whom she does
not know very well, but who do
know her formal name, are signed:
Very sincerely yours,
MARY BROWN SMITH.
Business letters, professional let
tiers, letters to people who need to
be informed of her formal name,
are signed:
Very truly yours,
MARY BROWN SMITH.

puffed sleeves, slashed on the out

square neckline, and the train is

FLOWERS OF THE EMPIRE
The embroidery is remarkable.
The various motifs are taken from
the. emblems of the British Isles
and Empire, and woven into
really lovely floral design. They
include the rose of England, thistle
of Scotland, shamrock of Ireland,
the leek of Wales, maple leaf of
Canada, waffle of Australia, fern
frond of New Zealand, protea
flower Of South Africa, and lotus
flower of India. About the neck
line, sleeves and hem are the
typically British oak leaf and
acorn, woven into border.
Other gowns worn by the Queen
at recent courts include one of gold
brocade with matching train, en-
broidered in stones with precious
jewel colorings. Another was of
ivory lace with an ivory net train,
both embroidered in mother-of-
pearl sequins. This was over silver

The secret for its preparation
was carefully guarded. However,
today the types of frozen desserts
have increased more than four
fold. From the original recipe
for water ice, parfaits, frozen
pastries, salads, and pastries using
ice cream have all been concocted.
AS the warm weather ap-
proaches, these frozen desserts be-
come more popular. Many of them
can be quickly prepared and
frozen in the tray of the auto
matte refrigerator.
In order to have them smooth
grained, freeze quickly and use
whipped cream, beaten egg white
or whipped evaporated milk, in
preparing them.
Coffee ice cream is always
popular. This recipe is quickly
prepared:
