A Wife Is q Luxury.

The English law courts have formally
decided that wife is not necessity of
life, but luxury. There have been a
good many breach of promise suits be-
fore the courts lately, and in two prom
inent ones the defense was set up that
the contract was invalid because the
contracting parties were minors when it
by minor is binding at law, except it
be for necessity" In one case the
defense failed because the contract was
renewed after the youth attained his
majority, but in the other case tho young
fellow got off, the court deciding that a
wife could not be considered necessity.
