ON MARRIAGE CUSTOMS.

The Government of Albania, we are told, has decreed thas weddings may not larc longer than a day and not more than twelve guests may be invited to them but the reasons for the deere are more interesting than the deerve itself. Nothing in hum nature is more bowildering than marriage customs; nothing illustrates better the delicious irrelevance of the human mind. You would think that a marriage was mainly the concern of those who and we in Western Europe do at keep up a pretence that it is; bat in Albumin, as in other primitive societies, the pretence, it it is on, is all the other way.

It is the elders collectively; not the young in dividually, who

arrange marriages, ami, us for the brille and bridegroom, they must profest, even if they do not feel reluctance. The bridegroom does not ask the name of his brile; he has other things to

THE SQUIRE'S TOMBSTONE,

UNUSUAL CASE.

**In affectionate memory of William Embleton Fox. Esquire, many years Chairman of Quarter Sessions, and of Litulsey County" Council," who died at Northorpe Hall on 22nd June, 1919, this tablet was erected by his tenants and friends in respectful admiration of hia qualities as landlord and friend, and of; his services to the county."

This wording, proposed for a memorial tablet in No thorpe Parish Church, led to an unusual case in Lincoln. Consistory Court last month. The Rev. E. B. Hooper, vicar of the parish, and others, took objection to the words referring to admiration of the late squire's qualities as a landlord, Mr. Hooper, in evidence, said he had a real admiration for many. of Mr. Fox's qualities, but in view of the state of twenty-six cottages on the estate, it seemed impossible to have admiration for his qualities as a landlord.

The Chancellor, who remarked on the unfortunate and unusual character of the dispute, said that, putting the utmost value on what had been said, he did not think there was any ground to justify ro fusal. The faculty would therefore be scaled, as prayed by the petitioners.

DR. SCRUBBING BRUSH.

WAY NURASTHENIC WOMEN SHOULD EMPLOY HIM.

Housework is an infallible core for searasthenic and hysterical women."

That is the dictum of Dr. Gommes laid down by him at the recent Congress of Mental Hygiene in Paria "Let the woman with the ailing mind," be added, "do a certain amount of sweeping and scrubbing daily, and her illness will dis- appear."..

He is fully supported by Dr. Leonard Williams, the Harley-stroot physician, who said to a Daily Express representa tive:-

There are many cases of women who bave been completely cured of nervous ill nesses by housework. Lack of occupation is the root of the matter; other forms of employment or exercise would be just as beacficial."
