Questions and Answers

Question-About a week ago,
I accepted an invitation to at
tend a dinner at the home of
a fairly close friend. Unex-
pectedly an out-of-town guest
has come to visit me. Would
it be permissible for me to tele-
phone my hostess and ask if I
may bring her along? I under
stand it is to be a fairly large
hotel? Mrs. F. j. M.
Answer-Under no circum-
stances place your hostess in
this position. She will ma
turally have to say yes and
from what you say. it is a
seated dinner and, therefore,
the addition of an extra woman
guest would upset her seating
arrangement. Only in a case
where you know it is to be a
buffet supper would it be per-
miSSible to ask such a favor
of a hostess. Even then it is

MODERN
MANNERS.
More About the Correct Form
On Enqrqved Cards, Signatures
By CAROLYN HAGNER SHAW

A few weeks ago we discussed
the calling procedure now in
effect in Washington. This has
brought forth many questions
from baffled ladies as to how
to have their cards engraved
and also how to sign their
correspondence.
Fifty years ago the question
of the correct engraving to be
placed on a woman's visiting
card was answered very simply.
Her status was either that OF
an unmarried woman or a
married one and the rules
governing cards in both cate
gories were cut and dried. The
correct signature to be used
in both cases also was easily
aScertained.
Today, however, the business
woman and the divorce have
confused both issues. The fol-
lowing review of the forms in
general use today will help to
clarity the situation.
A married woman'S visiting
card should always have her
husbands full name, preceded
by the prefix Mrs" engraved
thereon. For example, Mrs.
John Thomas Brown" is cor
rect; never resort to Mrs.
Mary Lane Brown" In sign
ing her name on a letter to a
business firm, or to an
acquaintance, her signature
would be Mary Lane Brown"
and in parenthesis, to the left
of the signature Mrs. John
Thomas Brown.
Signature for Friends
To her friends her signature
would be either Mary" or
Mary Brown. A widow follows
the same procedure in both
instances, exactly as if her
husband were still living.
The divorced woman places
her maiden name before her
former husbands surname.
For example, if Elizabeth
Smith marries Philip Jones,
her cards, after divorce, would
be engraved Mrs. Smith
Jones'" Her signature would be
Elizabeth Smith Jones'" 1t
is not correct to use the iden-
tifying Mrs. Smith Jones" to
the left of the signature in
this case, and it is not consid-
cred good form by some au-
thoritieS to place Mrs" in
parenthesis before the name.
Personally. this is another
case where L think common
sense should be resorted to
rather than strict adherence
to correct form. For the sake
of clarity to the recipient, I
think the prefix Mrs" in
parenthesiS, should be placed
before the signature of a d.
vorcee.
1t is the married woman who

business or profession, who
has the most difficulty. Her
business cards would be en-

her husbands full name should

The unmarried woman has
little to worry about. Her BUSH

much the same, with the ex-
ception of course, that the
name of the firm with which
she is associated is not men,
toned on her social visiting
card.
The full name should be en-
graved in both instances, pre-
coded by the prefix Miss. Her
signature would also be the full
name. This is another time
when the use of the identifying
prefix is not considered in good
taste. However, the placing of
the prefix Miss" before the
signature certainly makes it
easier for the recipient of the
letter when replying, and I
strongly advocate it's use.
Just a reminder: Never re-

7 NO.. Belief i'm God \
\ Is NOT Enouqh!" 4

Many people are risking their
eternal salvation on religion" of
their own -. which is actually no
religion at all.
oh, l believe in God" they say,
but don't go to church. I'm just
not the religious type"
Almost everybody, of course,
believes that there is a God. Com
mon sense tells us that this is so.
But if we actually believe there is
a God, should not this same COM
mon sense tell us we must do
something about it? And how can
we give expression TO our belief in
God if not through religion?
Religion is simply the conse-
quence of our realization of Who
God is. 1t is our striving to be
honest and consistent with this
knowledge = to learn and fulfill
our duties to our Creator.
Catholics believe that God Gre
ated us for a definite purpose
that He gave us the intelligence to
recognize what that purpose is
and the means TO fulfill it. 1t is
through our religion that we give
evidence of our desire to honor
and serve God. 1t is through re-
ligion that we approach God in
faith, repentance, love and graft
tude.
If you are living in the belief
that you don't need religion. that
all you have to do is TO believe in
God and live a moral life. we
urge you to ask yourself these
questions NOW: Why am !
living? Why did God create Me?"

sense answer is that you are living

Delegates Omit
Wire Tapping Ban
From Constitution

FAIRBANKS R-The wire4tap-
ping issue cropped up again Mon
day at the Constitutional Conven-
ton and delegates resolved it by
leaving out of the Bill of Rights
altogether a ban on both it and
invasion of privacy.
The session was a stormy one
because the delegates were in the
position of either rejecting or sup
porting a decision on the same
subject that they made Saturday.
They rejected it.
All SIS delegates were on hand
to vote Tuesday when a reconsid-
Grafton of vote brought UP the is
sue which only 48 delegates were
present to decide Saturday.
The amendment adopted Satur-
day and rejected Tuesday gave
protection against the invasion of
privacy as we'll as unreasonable
search and seizure unless a war
rant were obtained. This had been
adopted by a vote of 27-21 It was
defeated Tuesday, 37-18.
BY the time all the amendments
were cleared away, the delegates
found they were right back where
they started-With Section II of
the Bill of Rights article presented
by the Committee on Rights. 1t
reads:
THE right of the people to be
secure in their persons, houses and
other property, papers and effects
against unreasonable searches and
seizures shall not be violated and
no warrants shall be issued but
upon probable cause, supported
by oath or affirmation and partic-
ularly describing the place to be
searched and the persons or things
to be seized"
To date there is no reference in
the Bill of Rights of AlaSka's flu
ture constitution to invasion Of the
right of privacy.
