binding contract with her husband
Should he neglect TO comply with the
terms she has a right to institute suit
10 compel him.
The case to which this decision applied

Simon D. Bronson on 5000 note which
Bronson had given to his wife. She in

The question before the court was 70 de-
termine the validity OF the note.
In his decision, Justice Robb says in
part:
An examination Of the statute applica-
BILE to married women in the District OF
Columbia irresstibIy leads TO the conclu-
sion that section Isl of the code was
intended 10 authorize, and does in fact
authorize contracts or gifts from hus-
band to wife. excepting only property
acquired by the wife from her husband
IN prejudice of the rights OF his creditors
Indeed the language of the code is
broader and more comprehensive than
the language Of the statutes in the va
