MAGNA CARTA FOR

THE MARRIED

(Continued from Page 83

Considering that possibly the jcommonest motoring party of to day is composed of husband and wife, one driving the other, the treflection arises: If one should injure the other by negligent driving, ought the injured spouse to have the right to recover from the other? If not, why not?

Obvious Injustice

A more obvious injustice, per haps, is the fact that the present grievance about married people's income-tax remains in full vi gour. The Law Revision Com mittee remarked in their fourth interim report:—

-If a married woman is to be plac ed, in respect of her property and ber contractual liability in the same position as a single woman, it is st Hleast worthy of consideration whether the hardship, which in some cases now falls upon a husband in respect of his wife's income should not be ab-1 viated by repeating the provisë to

AN INDIAN PRINCE'S GREAT WEALTH

Pead Legend

A five million dollar piece is a string of huge pearls with a mar- vellous 'rosy sheen. Like so much else connected with India, there is a lovely legend attached to these jewels Way back in the legendary past, one of the Mahsr- Jajah's ancestors gave shelter to a lovely traveller who, though... in tattered clothes, was marked... by: [his noble mien and his proud [bearing. Lesser folk had turned Jhim from their doors.
