LEGAL NEWSFEATURE . . .
H.-for. a contract ari>c- sonu-
cnt must make an offer and
at' th.-r must accept it.
Without an offer, no accep-
tance. no argument.
But there i? often a tinn
within which y< u can accept
th« offer. And if not, the of-
fer tnds anyhow within a "rea-
sonable time' which ii> deter-
mined by circumstances and the
parties' intention.-.
Smith had a >« t of "nook?
which Brown wanted. Brown
•wrote and offere l him $-00
for the -et.
Smith didn't answer for six
months, and meantime Brown
bought a similar set. On< day
Brown trot a letter from Smith
saying "I accept your offer
of $200 for the set of books.
able time.
Then are many ways to end
an offi!. You may withdraw
expires at a given time, 01 you
may die, or the other party
may turn it down directly or
by making a counter offer.
Here Smith had failed to
accept Brown's offer within a
reasonable time, which ended
it just as though it had been
withdrawn.
What is a reasonable time"
It varies. The offer could <x
pire in a few minute.- in th>
,-tock market or la>t for quite
a while, depending upon what
a court would think is it r«a
sonable time.
But in Smith's case -ix months
was unreasonable.

Brown told Smith he'd bought written to inform —not to ad-
the books elsewhere, but Smith vis.. No person .-hould ever
still claimed that his belated
"acceptance" had nevertheless
sealed the contract with Brown.
Wa- there a contract? No,
the offer had lapsed because

Fortunately for French chil

horsehair. And they import
ed -o much of it from Germany
that it threatened the country's
gold r« -i*rveu. Colbert, tin
mini: ter of finance, pleaded in
vain for a law to prohibit wig-
making.
Wig- finally fell with the
lia.-tille, and after the Revo-

troet in a wig wa likely to
lose it, {, well as his head,
because of it- aristocratic con-
