| her citizens must give notice of their inten-
ton to marry long enough in advance that
| three public announcements may be made.
Without this formality the German ambas-
| sador here could not indorse the applica-
| ton for a marriage license which the law
| of this District ordains in the case of a
| foreigner. These details, which are bother
some enough for those who have to over
