series of questions before a license to
marry can be issued. These answers
constituted fair biographies ofthosew who
proposed to marry, and newspapers
awaited themselves of the Informal
ton therein contained in their we'd
ding notices. Audit having been ascer-
tanned that the practice OF publishing
the ages o those who receive marriage
licenses has proved q serious obstacle
