A strange story is told of two sisters at
Berlin. About three years ago, one of
these young ladies was engaged TO be mar
ried, hut on the bridal morning became so
i'll that she could not possibly go to the
church. The Bridegroom was desirable
one, and he was fish who, it seems had
not easily been hooked. There was, there
fore, great danger in DELAY. so instead Of
pOstponing the marriage, the second Sis
ter, covering herself in a long veil, person.
ated the first, and duly went through the
ceremony. The moment it was over, she
transferred the bridal dress and ornaments
to her sister, who in her innocence: was
thus considered to have all proper claim to
this husband she married by proxy. 1t is
only recently that discovery has been
made of the real facts, and proceedings
are about to be taken not only in the civil
but also in the criminal Courts of Berlin.
