In setting type for one paragraph of last week’s coi imn, a mistake changed the • ntire meaning.

Also, the Fred Stimsons did not get home to Ridgecrest last week as reported, but do expect to be here early this And. quite unintentionally some good friends were o initted last week from the U=t of Christmas visitors.

Me Murray Chevrolet Co., Inc. BLACK MOUNTAIN, N. C. Mir. No. 110 PHONE NO 9-3141 Dealer No. 2291 This is the Law By Robert E. Lee (For the N. C. Bar Association) Names of Widows and Divorcees What name should a widow use? The same name that was proper and correct for her to use while her husband was alive. A man gives his name to his wife for life—or until she herself through remar riage relinquishes it. What name does a widow vvlio has remarried use? Her name is no longe'. i dentified with the name of her former husband. If Mary Jones marries John T. Smith, and he dies, and subsquently she m a r r i e s Henry D. Brown, ,the proper form of her signature would he “Mary J. Brown” or “Mary Jones Brown.” She does not use either the sur name or the initial of the surname of her former hus band in her new name. What name does a divorcee use? A North Carolina statute says that a divorced woman at any time after the grant ing of a divorce “may resume the use of her maiden name or the name of a prior de ceased husband upon applica tion to the clerk of the court of the county in which she re sides.” An amendment to this statute in 1957 permits the same things to be accompli di ed by petition at the time the divorce decree is granted in favor of the woman. The inference to be drawn from this statute is that a divorced woman in North Carolina should, in the ab sence of a court order, use the surname of her divorced husband. But since a person may as same any name which does not interfere with the rights of others, a divorced woman should be able to resume her maiden name even without a court order. Courts elsewhere have generally so held. In deed, even from a legal view point in North Carolina, the name which a divorced wo man should have would seem to be a matter of choice with her. Emily Post says that it is socially correct for a divorcee to take her own surname in place of her ex-husband’s Christian name. For example, if Mary Jones becomes di vorced from John T. Smith, it would be in good taste if she calls herself "Mrs. Jones Smith.’’ Continuing in her on Etiquette. Emily Post says: “If her husband’s surname is distasteful, she sometimes takes her own maiden name to which she prefixes that of her mother. If her mother was a Miss Brown, her daughter calls herself ‘Mrs. Brown Jones.’. . . A seemim’-’-- ac cepted custom is tha' ■>" a widow who r»mar' divorces her sec' r h n 1 and takes hack he • -t ’ms hand’s name. Th propriety of this maneuver depends u pon her motive, which is usually that of wanting to have the same name as her children.” This is the last of a fall series which have appeared weekly during the past three months. They have been writ ten for the non-lawyer as a public service of the North Carolina Bar Association. Another series will be started in the spring.
