GREENWICH GANNOT HASTEN WEDDINGS Law Now Delays Intended Hurry-Up Matches Greenwich, Conn, Nov. 19— Connecticut’s new law which in ef- fect delays hasty marriages five days has cut almost in half the monthly marriage figures of this city, which has been called “Ameri- ca’s Gretna Green.” Before the law requiring non-resi- dents to take out a license five days before marriage, Greenwich had about eighty marriages a month. Recently it has had forty to fifty. Scene of Many Notables The lure of Greenwich's reputa- tlon as a good place to get married still draws sufficient couples to af- ford a harvest of interesting experl- ences and some addition to incomes for town officials. There is a fas- cination for many couples in golng to Greenwich justices who have married such notables as Constance Talmadge, Dorothy Gish, the Dolly | Sisters, Pat Somerset and Edith | Day, Mr. Von Schlalle, whose bride | was the “veiled woman” in the Ell- Wwood murder case, and Philip Plant, adopted son of the late multi-mil- lionaire Morton F. Plant, and Con- stance Bennett, movie actress, Many couples explain carefully that they are on their way to dis- tant towns and cities and must has- ten to keep on schedule. Others have booked steamer passages. Some admit frankly the spontaneity of thelr decision. “All-Hour” Justices “A little while ago I was rung up from a hotel in the early morning hours,” sald one justice of the prace. “When the town clerk pro- tested at the hour, the would-be groom was very willing to compen- sate for the trouble. “As I looked at the young woman memory brought back a similar scene four years previously. ‘Surely,’ T eaid to the young woman, ‘You are the girl I married to a Yale student without knowing you were only sixteen years old at the time. | She blushed and nodded confirma- tion, and I proceeded with the cere- mony. The groom was Phillp Plant and the bride Constance Bennett.” | People have odd ideas at odd times, continued this justice. “A golfing party who had been at the Larchmont course in the after- | noon came one summer's night to a local inn for dinner. At the emd of the repast I was asked to join the party—for official reasons. Working Men Best Pay “One of the men in the party, it appears, had remarked to one of th women ‘Let's get married.” ‘T don't care if I do,’ said the woman. So they were. “Of course, I never marry any- | body who is under the influence of | liquor, but intoxicated couples fre- quently come to me.” The couples who come to Green- wich for hasty weddings differ greatly in their valuation of the justice's services. ealthy people, as a rule, Who pay the largest fees, but the working men, Family Group Photo Now Passe in Berlin London, Nov. 19 (A—Family | groups are a thing of the past ini British photograph galleries.

Dr. J. B. Ferguson, the school medical officer, has reported that during a nine months’ test in a classroom so fitted, the boys grew half an inch taller and three pounds heavier than colleagues in an ad- joining room lighted by ordinary glass, which, the doctor says, cuts out the vital ultra-violet rays al- most completely.
