A German Gretna Green.

The little rocky island of Heligoland
aside from its reputation as q sea-bath
ing place, enjoys the additional one OF
being q sort of Gretna Green for lovin !,
couples of the Fatherland, who fondly
believe that they can enter the heaven
of married life without the numerous
legal exactions and distractions which
the strictness of the imperial statutes
is apt to throw in their way. Last year
no lsss than forty couples from abroad
who had gone there expressly for the
purpose, were joined in wedlock, and
up to the end of July upwards of twenty
couples had followed their example. II
is, nevertheless, fact that the presen-
tation of the usual documents, such as
certificates Of birth, the written con.
sent of parents, etc, are a much re.
quired as on the mainland. The facility
and expeditiousness of the procedure
chiefly consist in that under certain
circumstances, the lack of one of the
necessary papers may be dispensed with
on formal declaration upon oath, and
that single publication of the banns
on a Sunday is considered sufficient as
consonant with the old Frisonian Gus
tom. Thus an anxious couple may
arrive Saturday night and leave Mon.
day morning happily united. Many OF
these candidates of wedlock take the
way to Heligoland in order to escape
the long legal notice, and perhaps also
the long comments at home. Others
again, choose the island route to the
hymeneal altar in order to save the ex-
penses of costly wedding and to have
a wedding and bridal tour all in one.
The expense of having the knot tied on
the island is not as cheap as many peo
pie imagine, and certainly not less than
200 marks, one-half of which sum goes
to the officiating German clergyman.
