Men who contemplate marrying young
girls without the consent of the latters par.
emf, will do well 20 remember that the mar
rage license law passed at the last session
of the Maryland Legislature, fixed the ear
lest age at which girl could marry with
out her parents consent at sixteen and not
eigh cen as is generally supposed This be-
ing the law here there is but small need OF
elopements to distant cities to get married.
1t appears somewhat strange that our law
makers should fix the age Al which a CIR
can marry at the early age OF sixteen when
those of the steTner sex cannot under the
same conditions until they are twenty-one
Our Legislators evidently have "A good opin-
ion of the discretion of the inisses of sweet
sixteen"
