ENGLAND WORRIED
BY BIGAMY INCREASE

Than One Wife

London. August 20.-(Correspondence
OF The Associated Press. increase in
bigamous marriages throughout the
United Kingdom, much more pronounc-
ed since the end of the war, is causing
grave concern and there is a growing
disposition to treat bigamy as venial
offense.
Sir Bernard Mallet, the registrar
general, is credited with the statement
that English marriage laws afford less
security against bigamy than the laws
of almost any other civilized state.
His department has prepared proposals
for the amendment, but nothing has
been done to carry them into effect.
new act of parliament is necessary,
and Sir Bernard suggests as a prelimin-
airy that some plan be outlined by
which accurate information concern
ing the principals in a proposed mar
riage may be obtained by the compe-
tent authorities before the ceremony
can be performed.
For marriage by license in England
it is required that both parties make
solemn declaration that they know of
no impeachment to their union, that they
have resided for fifteen days in the
district, and, If they are minors, the
consent of guardian or parents has
been obtained. But no solemn declara-
ton is required for such material par
ticulars are name, condition as to mar
riage, age, rank and residence.

Jane sat stunned and silent, not
knowing how to answer this first pro-
rosal of marriage she had ever re-
ceived. Strangely enough she had
never thought of Dick Holiday In this
light. He had been wonderfully kind
a true friend in her time of need, but
her life. during the time che had known

For moment, as Holiday stood
looking down at Jane, he seemed on the
verge of telling her something then
with a noticeable shake of his head,
he drew plate of chops toward her.
Just try those, Miss Brown" he ex-
claimed, land then tell me I'm not a
regular cook I'm so very proud of the

picion, sometimes, that it isn't the real

that anyone could wish. The reason is
because bread and butter needs very
little cooking. Unless, of course, you
make toast, and no self-respecting
toast appears on well regulated tables

His banter had the desired effect
for as Jane ate, smile appeared on her
face and before he had finished she was
laughing, the adventures through which
she had gone fast disappearing into
