LEGALIzEs MARRIAGES.
Effect of New Deceased wife's Sister

Law I'm England.
The passing Of the deceased wife's
sister bill by the Parliament just pro-
rogued legalizes at least 1000 mar

riages in high quarters, for consid-
cradle number of men distinguished in
the arts, in literature and commerce
have married their deceased wife's sis
ter. r.. ....- ....I.
Paynter Allen, who, as secretary Of
the Marriage Law Reform Association,
has devoted the best part of life
time to- the cause that is only now.
after the labors of more than half
century, crowned with success, says:
I'm 1S47 the Royal Commission that
investigated the question discovered
there had been 500 such marriages an
nually since 1885, when the law be-
came what it is now. Since then the
number has become matter of deduc-
tion. If you have 500 marriages an
nually for period of eleven years.
when the population was half what it
is now, and if you have regard at the
same time to the fact that the act for
bidding such marriages was only then
recently passed. whereas now persons
have been encouraged by the attitude
of the House Of Commons to take
tolerant view of 1t, you must at least
double that number"
A clause in the bill will make the
measure retroactive In character, le-
galizing all marriages with the de-
ceased wife's sister that have already
been contracted. The agitation" said
Mr.. Allen, "could never cease until 1t
was recognized in this way; that our
objects from first to last have been to
benefit the children; you would simply
be Furnishing the children otherwise,
and the alleged guilty would so scot
free.
1T is" Mr.. Allen added. "a tremen-
dous testimony to the advantages of
the bill that such countries as the Uni
ted States, Switzerland and Germany.
that have approved Of similar meas
ures, have never had the slightest
doubt or uncertainty of their value,
and have made no attempt whatever
to go back upon what they have done.
Such marriages, indeed, become in
cases where there are children who
are cared for by the deceased wifes
sister, practically compulsory with
honorable men. Many sacrifice every
thing in their devotion to their dead
sisters children. These women could
not remain in the home If their BROTH
er-in-law married some ether lady, and
1t would be extremely cruel to turn
them out of doors. One would like to
impress the fact that from first to
last the cause has been not merely the
question Of marriage, but the interests
Of the children, and the grown-up chill.
