THE ~BR4CrBETER~ IN An ILLINOIS TOWN
7rom The Chicago Times Herald.

From The Chicago Times Herald.
\ curious wedding custom, a survival of the
folklore of the Fathcrland. is found in the Ger

townships further east When young couple
are TO he married the elder brother OF the bride
starts out on horseback a few days before He
is called the ''brautbeter literally the bride
iuViter" IF the bride have no brother. some
other male member of the family takes the
place. The summons of the "braut better Is Just
as effective in assembling the guests as the en-
graVed Invitations of society folk in the cities.
The "brautbeter' is a picturesque figure. In
his invitation trip he is the recipient OF many
perqUfsites in money or gifts, which, by right OF
custom are kept his own. At every place
where ne leaves an invitation TO the wedding the
The size of the gift is regulated by the circum-
stances of the receivers. 1t may be piece Of
money blil coin, or II may be only a rib
bon a trinket. However small, the present is
invariably expected and given.
As the 'brautbeter'' receives his gifts he pins
the bills to his clothing hat sews the
coins ard ties the ribbons to his horses bride.
As he progresses on his rounds the gifts are
added one by one till his clothes are OpUlent
with money and trinkets. The circumstances of
Every receiver of an invitation makes gift in
return. which becomes the property OF the
''brauJbeter." Like going fishing. the returns
from going inviting uncertain. They may
amount to only 50 or 81, run up to S14 or $40,
luck may have IT, OF course the "braut-
better" is at the wedding and one of the best fel-
lows there.
Old settlers in Buckley say the custom was
transpanted from Hanover. whence most OF the
foreign born population comes. Nobody knows
