"You will see by, tho figures for March, out of 122 murriares celebrated in Match, 110 fewer than! 28 were solemnised in tho office. Thcite is no question about it, raoro and more pdooplo are using the registrar's ofiico than formerly." "Do you think it a good trend? 1 "Oh, I do(i't think much about it in that tniy. But there are tho figures—they speak for thefcisclves. Over a sixth of. the marriages for' March were conducted hore, and you would bo surprised at tho class of people, wlo are married lieie at times. • People that olio would think would not conio here." ' ' "I conducted the., marriage service no less than nine times' on tho Thursday before Good Friday. That is/equal to tho ttcoyd for tho oftico —it billy occurred enco beforo on a Saturday morning, when there were quite a lot of people in u hurry-to get married." \
