OF CIVIL MARRIAGES

THINK the civil marriage is a
! good thing, because many peo-
pie shrink from the trying ordeal
of a wedding in church or in a
home where relatives and friends
pursue the sufferers with rice and
old shoes.

of wheels in the street and then
waiting carriage at the door of Judge
Macs office. They say among them
selves. Its another elopement."
More clipping couples have been
made happy in this office than in any
other in America. For twenty-three
years Mr.. Macs has been a Justice of
the Peace. His fame has reached into
the far corners Of New York. Connect
cut. New Jersey and Pennsylvania. and
from all these States people come to
be married in front of the little iron
rail in his office. For twenty years he
has been so accustomed to being awak-
ened in the night TO marry young
people fleeing from parental wrath that
he always leaves the gas burning in
his front hall.
Sometimes people ask me why mar

be married have to comply with the
Ven Tor L. Of he
tracing parties must be a resident of
the State. or they must have secured a
license at least five days before the
marriage. The man must be twenty
one and the girl eighteen But I am
sorry to say that sometimes one of the
contracting parties gives an address in
New Jersey, when as a matter of fact
the real address should be Ne9 York
or some other State.
But 1 am not obliged to run out and
verify these addresses. And the old
trick Of the young girl or boy who says
that he or she is of age when there is
a year or so lacking, is still deceiving
ministers and justices.
But I content myself with the philos-
ophy that when two young people have
determined to be married it is no use
trying 10 stop them. and it is really no
ones business so much as it is the
business Of the contracting parties

either party is obviously too young to

justice, or a minister, gave their ages as
eighteen and twenty-five. and were
married.

couple that has sought me and failed
