This is not ual, J. L. M., but neither is the situ- ation, and I shall be delighted to help you out, as you live so far away. First, let us take up the matter of your name. You have been wrong about the name, for from the time of your husband's death up to the time of your own or of your second mar- riage, you are and remain,Mrs. John Smith, except, of course, wheh signing a note, for at that time it is decreed that Mrs. Smith sign not Mrs. John but Mary Anne Smith.

First of all, the name may have been needed for somebody else, in which case you would hardly have wished to be Mrs. John Smith the first, and therefore to have been conscious always of having been replaced. And, also, you quite possibly would have un- pleasant recollections of the Mrs. John Smith era. In some instances a di- vorcee even goes so far as to take back the name of her pre-married state, and become again Miss Jones. Be that as.it may, you are at this moment Mrs. John Smith, and in a short time will announce that Mrs. Mary Anne Smith is about to marry James Brown.
