Whether . very young widow
at the beginning Of her profess

bands name or may keep her own
is the subject Of this letter. II
left high school last winter to
marry, and am not yet 10. My
husband was killed in North Al
rica. I am going to summer
school to finish my high-school
course and then if possible move
on to college. Shall I use my mai
den name to go back to school or
should it be my married name?
I feel that Mrs will be very con-
spicuous in school, and yet I don't
want to give up my husbands
name!"
The answer to this depends
upon whether you are preparing
for a professional career. If you
are, the correct but rather con-
fusing choice is to call yourself
Miss Alice Formername in school
and college and In your future
career. and to be known as Mrs.
John Bravery by your friends at
home. In other words, you are ex-
pected to struggle with the confu-
sion of two names. Or you can
equally well choose to keep your
husbands name and be known as
Alice Bravery-and let people ad-
dress you as Mrs. or Miss as they
feel inclined. The confusion of
Miss Alice Bravery and Mrs.
John Bravery is difncult-unless
you are going into a business OF
your own in which you can be
listed as 'Mrs. John Bravery!
After writing all this, it is quite
easy to see why Miss Alice For
mername is the preferred choice
of most professional women.

Dear Mrs Post: Have you
written within recent months
that 1t was proper for friends to
give the bride (and groom)
checks instead of wedding pres
ents? I have been so informed
but since I read you regularly and
can't remember anything like
this, want to make sure before
send a wedding present. In this
case the bride is marrying a SOL
dier and they will not have q
place of their own until after the
war. I am sure money would be
most useful to her now-as her
family has very little-but I don't
want to do anything question
able. If money were out Of order
the family might feel insulted
and I certainly don't want that.
Answer-A check is entirely
proper If It's Of fairly large de-
nomination and sent by q men,
Der Of either the bridegroom's
or the brides family, or by an
old friend Of the bride herself.
At the present time, the ideal
present to send is a War bond
or even half-fllled book of War
Stamps, of any denomination
that one can afford.
\ i
Dear Mrs. Post: Does the bride
ever wear large nat with after
noon clothes, and If 50 wouldn't
wide brim prove to be in the
way?
Answer-A bride often wears q
large hat. It should not be In the
way unless 1t Is extremely wide
wider. for instance. than her
shoulders.

Select Practical
Vacation Togs
Bv Beth Blair

The problems Of travel increase
with the days. Many people are
spending their vacations in their
own backyards this year. because
they find it too difficult to travel.
Others find nearby resorts and
get there as best they can.
Whatever you do, your vacation
wardrobe must keep pace. and
should be versatile first Of all.
Your travel costume may well be
a suit or a dress that you will
wear later to the Office. Shorts or
slacks with separate shirts can
be used for lounging at home or
elsewhere.
Packability is the second watch
word If you're going away. The
wide array of pretty and prac-
tical rayon fabrics that are
available this season travel well,
and most of them will not have
to be laundered while you're on
vacation.
For travel and general daytime
wear, also smart for spectator
sports, are softly tailored suit
frocks or slim one-piece dresses.
Select them of crush-resistant
spun rayons In linenlike weaves.
shantung, gabardine and other
popular versions. Rayon mesh is
another ideal fabric for hot
weather wear that, when made in
tailored style, is wearable almost
everywhere.
Equally packable, space-saving
and wearable are shorts or slacks
with harmonidng shirts. They're
pretty and practical In the same
crush-resistant fabrics.
Blouses are a fortunate addi-
ton to your wardrobe at any
time, as they can be worn with
suit skirts, with the skirt Of your
suit dress at home as well as on
vacation. Soft long sleeved shirt
waists in brilliantly patterned
rayon jersey, firm acetate rayon
crepe or shantung have a dressy
look, and serve for evening with
slacks or long skirts.
Whether you're In town or in
the country, a simple street.
length dress is all you need for
evenings. Make it gay cotton in
bright print for country dances, a
soft crepe in a flattering color
for less vigorous evenings.
Newest is the bare backed
street length dinner frock, done
in informal fabrics so that with
its jacket 1t may be worn for
sports, for sun bathing. even fo4'
general daytime wear. With
out the bolero or jacket 1t is a
gay dinner frock, to be dressed
up with jewelry and flowers in
your hair. It's a summer sensa-
ton, and one that you're sure to
see at the smartest resorts.
Use extra jackets. colored belts
and bows, bright play shoes and
colored wooden or plastic jewelry
to vary your few vacation cos
tunes, and to give the contrast
YOU want.

100000 Shares Traded
On Reports Of Drastic
Anti-InfIution Measures
Bv VICTOR EUBANK,

Associa ted Press Financial Writer.
NEW YORK. June l4.-Financial
markets suffered A rather sharp
spill today as Wall Street shifted to
the selling side on reports of drastic
anti-inf1atlon measures being con-
sidered by the administration.
Stocks, relatively steady in the
morning, began to slide after noon
with rails and topnotch industry
issues in the lead Dealings picked
up brlsklV on the tumble when losses
of l to more than 2 points were
widespread. The pace slowed later
and here and there moderate recov-
cries were IN evidence near the close.
Transfe.s for the full proceedings
were around 100000 shares.
Action of the stock division last
week led to the thought of a good
sized correction of the upward drive
to new peaks since late 1889 might
be in the offlng. Expectations the
President would send a special mes
sage to Congress on policies for
combating mounting prices caused
some early trimming of commit
ments. Offerings seemingly were
punched midway of the session.
Armament-reted securities were the
first to give ground as the war news
continued highly encouraging Most
peace favorites, however, slipped
with the rest.

Before going any further we'd all like to give a rising vote of thanks to the people who are mak- ing the Special Service Program what it is. Such things as the BEAM, the Dedication Dance, the athletic program, and the Friday night dances will go a long way toward making Bradley better place in which to live, and field that will be remembered as Good >ld Bradley"
 One of our reporters tells us that they had a housewarming at Jack Batten's the other night before the dance. We weren't there, but from the results Wow! What a house. warming. It seems that some of the boys had a little trouble keep ing up with the tive, and boy, was that place crowded! There were twice as many people as everyone said.
 Besides having to scrimp and scrape to get this stuff together, we're always having to worry about the censor. We didn't know Con- necticut was close enough to the United States to have any fifth col umnists.
 For the benefit of those who are still interested in our athletic achievements, we've already had a
