There is now being considered Tu-day we and examined by doctors in close co-operation with Public Health Societies a revolutionary scheme making the medical examination of couples "before marriage com- pulsory in Britain, writes T. Bowen Partington; the famous health su- thority, who demands a "Atness test" for all before marriage......
It is intended by the scheme that all people about to wed will first have to obtain a cert.ncate of 'fit ness, for marriage from a qualified medical man This would be the plan ever most revolutionary brought forward, and already it is arousing keen controversy.
Strong opinions are held on both sides. Some of us think it should have been brought forward years ago, for those who are engaged in medical and public health work are every day meeting cases where It was nothing short of criminal for the men and women ever to have married. much less to have had children.

It is principally from this stand- ̈ point that medical men and social workers are now giving more at- tention than ever to the question of health certiäcates before maz- "riage,

The question has arisen which has so often engaged the attention of medical men as well as of the lay public-whether on legal and" politico-social grounds the con- traction of marriage ought not to be made dependent upon the pre- sentation of proofs that the bodily health is good, or that there is at least an absence of disease which may be a source of danger to the other' marriage partner or to the eventual children..

Health for Leicester, suggests that these health certificates will be exchanged by the engaged couples before marriage, and will have to be produced to the registrar, or clergyman prior to the ceremony.
I think we could take a lesson from Mexico where, in all the trains, omnibuses and trams the health certificate is recommended by posters, which show a girl in wedding dress and bear the ins- cription: "Pay no attention to the jewels which your fance gives, you, but to his health certificate," Objectors to the scheme will say that it is a deliberate "attack on personal liberty.
There are some who have not considered the matter of personal liberty in relation to the rights of others. ' I fully appreciate the value of personal liberty; one's berty to do right should never be infringed upon But must a ways be remembered that liberty ends where the welfare of some- on else begins.

BLACK AND WHITE
PERENNIAL FAVOURITE
Never, it is believed, has there been so much news in shoes as at present. Novel silhouettes: unaccustomed combinations" f material;
trim "dressmaker" mings: an extended range of colours; an accentuated trend to co-ordinate foot wear with bags and other accessories; and effort which, it must be confess- ed, has not met with enthusiastic consumer acceptance to promote wine-coloured and green hosiery to match or contrast shoe feathers, all conspire to excite notice and comment.
AD
Beginning with a consideration of the altered silhouette, one sees a' tendency in daytime models to build higher and higher the in- step and side lines. In oxfords this is an organic feature of the "cut; in pumps it may be achieved by broad straps. Square toes, a radical change in contour, have been definitely accepted-not as the only style but as a favoured one, whose rival is the rounded toe rather than the temporarily
obsolete point.
ALL DAY-TOWN WEAR
Bucko dominates the sports field. For all-day town wear nothing is better than kid: Buede is a lead- ing material, and is combined with calf, paket-leather and kid in many novel trimmings. Lizard is seen a great-dea', sometimes in combination with cal. This, as- sociation occurs both in low, leather-heeled walking shoes aud in high-heeled opera pumps. Alligator 1s another popular reptile skin and looks very smart with tailored clothes, tr m - med with duede it becomes more dressy and may go to important afternoon functions. Patent les- ther, though used chiefly as a trim, is seen as the basic material of opera pumpá.
