destination. Horseback riding also is
excellent. In both of these muscular

exercise not continued beyond the point

Marriage Licenses.
Dear Miss Doom:

Dear MISS DoOn.
l would like to ask you to give me a
little idea about procuring a marriage IL
cense. Is it necessary to be accompanied
by the prospective bride, or can you get
one alone? Also, what are the hours of
the city clerk? Hoping to see an answer
in your paper, | remain, J. L. E.
Yes, you must be accompanied by
the prospective bride and either by
one witness who knows both of the
contracting parties or by two witnesses.
The marriage license bureau is open
from $50 a. m. until 4 p. m. every week
day except Saturday. On Saturdays
the hours are from $3.50 a. m. until

Members Of the bar In commenting
on the proposed reform without exoep-
ton commend it. They say that the
rules as they now stand, If rigidly en-
forced. would involve litigation In an
endless snarl, and that the present
rules have been tolerable only by rea-
son Of the disregard Of many Of them
which have been found impractical OF
enforcement In modern procedure. But
in such cases they say that special or
ders and short cuts In suits are made
to At the individual case and thus tho
whole procedure is "up in the air" or
in the discretion of the court," which
is in many cases just as bad.
No intimation was given by Chief
Justice White or either member of tho
committee just what form the revision
will take, but 1t is agreed that it will
look to the expediting Of causes, and
the relief of Htigants from the almost
prohibitive expense Of the present
equity procedure.
The committee is expected to report
its recommendations tn the Supreme
