Uncle and Niece Married.

Marrying couples who wish to avoid
either from choice or necessity, the
foolish extravaganza of the orthodox
wedding, may avoid it and also the
parsons fee by simply going into either
Iowa or California and expressing, be-
fore witnesses, an agreement to become
husband and wife. There are about
twelve other States where this form is
also held valid. though Massachusetts,
Connecticut, Delaware, and Kansas
make the contrary ruling. 1t Isn't
safe to court girl warmly in any of
these uncertain States. A case has
just been decided in San Francisco
holding valid the marriage of an uncle
and his niece, contracted in this way
in Italy, as the law Of the country per-
mits relatives to marry.
