ABOUT 200 MARRIAGES.
Town Clerk David FIage Estimates
 That lie Haa Issued That Many Li- <censes to Strange Couples.

Incident to the many out of town marriages, so called, that have occur red in Putnam during the past twelve months. and the new law requiring couples to give five days notice of intent to marry, that law becoming effective tomorrow, it is of interest to note that the law will not necessarily cut off those couples who really want to come to Putnam to wed.
 Town Clerk David Flagg said We'd nesday that he will accept properly attested declarations of intent to wed that are sent in by mail so that couples who wish to come here to be married need make only <one trip to Putnam.
 Mr. Flagg said he could not give the accurate figures of the number of out of town couples married here during the past year. but he estimates that it is about 200.
 ' Comparatively few of these couples were unaways; most of them were persons who desired to be married quietly and without OStentation Many Of the men who have come here to be married are members of professions; others are wealthy. and in some cases of considerable note. There have been few marriages here that have proved decided surprise to relatives, and a smaller number of the marriages have caused disappointments to parents of the newlyweds, but these cases have been very rare.
 Putnam has been selected as a Gret- ma Green by most of those who came here on account of it's geographical location in relation to Massachusetts points and its closeness to the border of that state, together with the fine train service in and out of Boston and Worcester. It has been the convenient. therefore the logical, place for the matrimonially inclined to come-and they certainly have come. Today Is the last day of the real open season, however, and the number of marriages will probably be reduced, though many couples are expected to come here in the future

United Workers Appeal for Second

Those who know conditions in our city realize the great need of 8 course in cooking and the preparation or sim pie dishes such as they are able to have in their own homes for some of the young girls who are to be future home makers in order that they may be taught how to make the best use or the materials they have. A systematic course of instruction along this line, under the direction of Mrs. Wilson, dietitian at the state hospital, Is being planned out by the club committee for the coming winter and teachers have been secured for two classes. The only thfne. that now stands in the way is the lack of a suitable range at the United Workers house.
 Is there not some one among our good friends who has a range to dls- pose of which is still in fair condition for such use and is willing to donate it to the cause? If so, kindly communi- cate with the City Mission office and the club committee will be very grate- fFJI
