"who's first?" asked Clerk Watson,
glancing at the three young men
awaiting their turn when the mar
riage license bureau opened for bust
ness at o'clock yesterday. There was
a marked hesitancy on the part of the
three applicants. Then Leonard ".

ed his name as the first person to OBJ

which provides that numerous ques-
tions heretofore propounded by the
person performing the ceremony shall

Several applicants did not know the
maiden name of their prospective
mothers-in-law, and the telephone was
frequently brought into use. AS
general rule, however, the first days
work under the new law was carried
on smoothly, the only Objectionable
feature being the length of time neces-
sary to record the information and pre-
pare the license. Thirteen licenses
were issued yesterday, only one-fourth
as many as were recorded Friday
which marked the record for any one
day since the establishment of the
bureau.
