Everyday Law Cases
Land Upon Marriage
EnforCedbleP
ny THE COUNSELLOR.

Anxious for his daughter, Jane, to
marry, John Sadler offered Henry
Thomas. one of her suitors. a deed to
a business property if he proposed.
Thomas accepted the offer.
After Jane and Thomas were mar
ried short time it was apparent to
John Sadler that it was not a sue
Cessful marriage, and he refused to
convey the property to Thomas, in
accord with his promise. Thomas
made repeated demands for the prop
erty and finally brought suit against
Sadler to compel him to give him q
deed
Sadler objected to Thomas suit,
contending that as the contract in
volved land it had to be in writing.
and a verbal agreement was not en-
forceable
Thomas attorneys. admitting that
contracts involving land had to be in
writing, called the attention of the
court to the rule that if there Is part
performance Of the contract by either
party, the contract will be enforced,
although verbal. AS Thomas had per-
formed his part, namely, his marriage
to Jane, the contract was enforceable.
The court, however, held that
Thomas could not recover, stating:
while part performance does away
with the necessity of reducing to
writing a contract to convey land.
nevertheless, marriage is not such
part performance as will make a
verbal agreement to convey land,
based on consideration of marriage,
enforceable"

Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

Tiny babies, for their own safety,
must be kept out of danger. This
should not be made a matter for
which the child is responsible. Don't
tell the two-year-old that he mustn't
run into the street and then punish
him because, he does. Simply keep
him off the street by pens, or fences,
or even a long rope to a tree, and tell
him the reason for this is because it
is dangerous. He will learn caution
in that manner much more quickly
than by letting him run into the street
and then furnishing him, for If he finds
that nothing happened to him he
won't know why you are Furnishing
him. When you take him on the
street, take care to stop at each cor
ner and look both ways before cross
ing the street. He'll learn to initiate
your example and caution will be-
come second nature to him.
With older children il the mother
will make questions of discipline as
few as possible and enforce those
necessary ones which are for the good
of the child she will win respect for
her opinion and the child will be
obedient to it.
A child must be taught that as
member of society there are certain

dren have the idea that they are mere.
ly slaves of the whims of their pa.
rents, while If the parents would ex.
plain that they, too, have to be obedi-
ent to the laws of society and that
what they are teaching the children is
simply submission to these higher
laws, they would not find them SO re.
sentful
Mothers are rather inclined to en-
force every trivial matter which
arises in a household, fearing that
otherwise authority will be under
mined.
The way to really guide children for
their own future good is with kindness
and love all the time. To be an under
standing parent far outshines the
glory of being a successful slave driv-
err, for then one is helping to develop
the child and still keeping him re-
spectful to the voice of authority,
which in your case he has learned Is
one of justice.

She would never forget it. Now he

Once more elation surged up in her.
She knew she hadn't right to feel
this way, but, after all-they weren't
happy together.
She stood up suddenly, very straight
and slim in her white beaded frock.
The thought of Alicia that had flashed
across her mind was gone now. She
knew that she must hurt Martin, be.

Developing Thin Figure.
Dear Miss Leeds: ~ l am very
much underweight and should like to
gain about % pounds. / am 16 years
old, feet 6ls inches tall and weigh
103 pounds. My legs are very thin in
proportion to the rest of my figure.
My shoulders are slightly rounded, so
that my neck is not erect and my

My fingers are crooked and the
knuckles quite large; would massage
help them? (2) Please give me good

about 20 years old YOU will have

period Il girl needs plenty of nourish-
ing food. Drink an extra quart of
hours a night. Have plenty of fresh
air and moderate exercises, but do not
overexert yourself. My leatlet on

ing diets and other helpful sugges-
tons for your type; please send a

and sit straight. Hold your figure as
tall as you can, with chest elevated,

your posture defects are due largely to
your lack of normal muscular develop

become heavier and learn to carry
yourself correctly. A good exercise
for the weak back is TO lie face down
on the floor and slowly raise and low

knuckles seem large because your
hand is too thin; massage it gently
every day to stimulate the circulation.

sonous dye has displaced iodin. Like
wise some first aid cabinets now con-
tain mercurochrome instead of iodin.
The disadvantages of mercurochrome,
over iodin as a general emergency dis
infectant seems to be that it smarts
or pains less when applied to a fresh
wound, and this is a real advantage in
the case Of a large wound, though not
for ordinary minor cuts and abrasions.
The disadvantage of mercurochrome,
as l see the question, are, first its
outrageous cost; second, the unpleas-
ant pink color the dye imparts to
everything 1t touches, and finally the
poisonous character of any mercury
compound.
So 1 prefer the simple old tincture
of iodin for first aid treatment, and If
any antiseptic is necessary in the sub
sequent care of the wound l prefer
boric acid.
The dull brown color iodin imparts
to the skin or clothing looks just as
good to me as the brilliant shade of
mercurochrpme stain.

CHAPTER LVI.
Freedom.

With the door closed on the last
guest, Nan drew a long breath.
When there were people about she
didn't have that closed-in feeling. 1t
actually seemed easier to breathe.
She was getting fanciful; she must
not left herself thing such thoughts,
and yet how could she help it? The
situation between herself and Martin
was wearing down her nervous
energy. 1t was almost impossible for
her to get to sleep at night. She had
had a feeling of late that she must fight
sleep. That was bad for her. But
there was a certain dream that kept
recurring each night just as she was
about to doze off. 1t was terrifying
dream and she always walked out of it
weak and trembling. 1t seemed as if
the walls Of her bedroom were grad
ually closing in on her, and that she
must escape before it was too late.
Nan wasn't morbid, but she couldn't
help wondering if this dream had any
thing to do with the feeling she had
about her life. She wished there were
some one she could talk to about it.
She was about to say good night to
Martin in the formal fashion that had
grown to be their custom, when he
spoke. They had returned to the liv-
ing room and he stood by one of the
card tables, riffling a deck of cards
over and over again. He was won
dering how he could speak the words
that would take her out Of his life
forever. He was not looking at her.
but it wasn't necessary. All through
the evening he had found it impossible
to keep his eyes from straying in her
direction. Already that little face of
hers was etched on his brain, but to.
night there was a quality about her
that was somehow heart-breaking. He
had reached point where he couldn' t
define his own thoughts-that was as
near as he could come to it.
He heard his own voice speaking;
calm, practical words that he had
made up his mind to say.
Nan, seated in big armchair oppo-
site, heard these words and felt the
sense of oppression that had settled
down upon her lift. She felt suddenly
light and gay and animated. She felt
as IL that horrible dream would never
again recur.
Martin was goin to give her her free
dom. She wondered what it would be
like to be free. And she was to have
Muriel, Of course. And Martin was
making all this possible because he
was settling a certain sum Of money
on her.
Money: What a difference money
made. But it oughtn't to make ans
difference at all. She and Tom had
never given it a thought. But it had
made difference in her relations with
Martin. She had, after all, married
him for that. 1t was all very we'll Il
