Everyday Law Cases
Can Directing Parents Set Aside
MorTi0ge Of Minor Children?
BY THE COUNSELLOR.

Jack Brown, II, and Norma Smith.
Is, decided to marry Without letting
any one of their family know of their
plans. they obtained license and had
the ceremony performed. Then they
want to their parents and announced
the event.
Instead of receiving parental bless
ings, Jack and Norma were summon
ed to a family council. Every effort
made to get the young couple separate
pending maturer Judgment and fur
Their educational pursuits failed. They
were determined to establish their
marital home at once
Learning that statute required
parental consent when minor chill
dren desired to marry, the parents
instituted suit to set aside the mar
rage of the young couple because no
such consent had been obtained
But the marriage of Jack and Norma
was not voided by the court, the law
being thus briefly summarized
I'm order to discourage as far as
possible hasty and ill-considered mar
riages most States have a statutory
provision that males under 21 and fe-
males under 1S require parental con-
sent, the ages varying in some juris-
dictions, while in others the statutes
are silent on the point. Unless these
statutes expressly add that mar
riage contracted without such neces
sary consent Is a nullity, the marriage
will still be held valid. The nullity
provision is a rare exception"

Song SparroWs.

You may have your golden tropical
bird in his gilded cage; he Is but a
dollhouse product. For me the song
sparrow, one of the first of spring
birds to voice the rapture of the year.
There is much in common between
the trill Of q canary and the warbled
whistle of the song sparrow. But the
canary Is a prfma donna coloratura
singer. When the song sparrow winds
up his merry little tinkle, the country
ways and the country days are
chanted.
1t is generally accepted that the
song sparrows sing Maids, maids,

quate enough to meet the require

be in a measure becoming, and 1t must
give no hindrance to free motion of
the game, and, withal, it must hold

Dressmakers as a rule are not tennis
players. If they do take o few hours
relaxation on the tennis court, they
aspire to no sort Of championship. So
it sometimes happens that a dress is
designed with perfect confidence on
the part of the dressmaker. only to
be turned down by the ardent tennis
play:r whom 1t was meant to please.
There are bodily contortions incidental
to the game that are undreamed Of by
the acknowledgements of the body

become a fashionable sport. and even
tennis champions are usually smartly
dressed.
So it is that the making of tennis

quirements of sport and fashion is
something of an achievement and may

Is there an etiquette prescribed for

there is, but 1t differs not at all from
the etiquette prescribed for children
at all times. which is retirement and
good manners.
Children should not. for instance, be
supplied constantly with candy, pea
nuts and the like. even though Ii be
a means of keeping them quiet. The
constant munching and scattering
about of food and it's containers can
not but be offensive to fellow travellers,
and the child itself will suffer sooner
or later from this injustice to its
stomach.
I have experienced the pleasure of
seeing a delightful little child make a
trip across the continent with his
mother in as gentlemanly a fashion as
his father could have managed had
he been there. In every respect that
young man was grown up He had a
number of books, which he looked at
much of the time, and when he tired
of the books he looked out of the
window or walked quietly up and
down the aisle after he had asked
permission. When we spoke to him,
as many did, he answered most po-
lftely. and there was no hesitation on
his part. But he passed along after
