BOY CHORISTERS WL SNG HERE Suborganist of Chapel of Savoy of London to Di- rect Appearance. Zwelve boy choristers who are mak- | ing a good-will tour of the United | States will give a recital of traditional Anglican Church music in the great | choir of Washington Cathedral Tues- | day at 4 p.m. under direction of Carl- ton Borrow, suborganist at the Chapel | of the Savoy in London. { They also will sing Tuesday at 8| pm. in St. Thomas Church, Eight- eenth and Church streets, on Wed- nesday at 8 p.m. at the Church of St. Stephen and the Incarnation, Six- teenth and Newton streets, and on | Thursday at 8 pm. in All-Saints’ | Church on Chevy Chase Circle. Each program will follow closely choral evensong as sung in the great cathedrals of England and will | be rendered entirely by the visiting | choristers, with Borrow at the organ. | Members of prominent London | churches, the boys attend the London | Choir School, which was founded 17 vears ago by Borrow to provide an education and musical training for choir boys. i When visiting Washington Ca- thedral offices to pay his respects to Bishop James E. Freeman Borrow said: “The object of our tour is twofold: | firstly, a desire to give practical ex- pression to the feeling of amity and concord now existing between the two great English-speaking nations of England and America and to do all that lies within our power to strengthen that bond which so closely links the mother church of England with the daughter church of America. and sec- ondly. to afford 12 English boys an opportunity for travel in this vast land ~—an opportunity which is of the great- est educational value to them. Washington music lovers and the general public are cordially invited to hear the choristers sing in the Ca- very thedral and the three parish churches. MR. AND MRS.

Earle Wyvill. marriage clerk at Upper Marlboro, Md., has acquired an almost uncannv ability to judge the ages of young people, and an artful line of questioning in dealing with them. Court house officials credit him with having prevented many premature marriages. One day recently as he was about to close his desk and go home, a man called him on the telephone and re- quested that he remain awhile to issue him a license. Wyvill waited and & youthful couple soon appeared before him, the willing- to-be groom explaining he was the ! man who called. The clerk asked the couple their ages. The “ma he was 22 and the “woman” 19. those ages were correct both would be a year older than the minimum age re- quired under Marvland's marriage laws. Believing they both were about 16 | Wyville explained that they would have to swear to their ages and be ! subject to punishment for perjury if they made a false oath.
