WAS LONG RUSSIAN WEDDING
Interesting Scene Is That OF double
Marriage After Ancient Custom
of Fatheriand.

MITCHELL, S. D., Dec. IA dou-
BILE wedding in the Russian colony at
Rosedale, seven miles south of Alex
andria took place Sunday, lasting until
late in the eevning hours. The names
Of the principals were Joseph Mandel
and Katherine Hofer, and Michael
Waldner and katherine Gross.
The ceremony was begun in the
morning in the little stone church, in
which the old custom of the men and
women sitting on opposite sides still
prevails. The Russian priest deliv-
cred a long sermon, and at 1920 o'clock
he called the principals to the front of
the editice, the women going first and
being followed by the young men. The
ceremony proper so far as could be un-
derstood, as it was given in Russian,
was more or less American and lasted
but a short time. It was followed by
a prayer and a song and then brides
and bridegrooms returned to their sep
arate seats.
Simple Costumes.
The bridal costumes of the couples
were very simple, the maidens wear
inf flannelette gowns with a hand
kercnief tied over their heads. The
bridegrooms, however, were dressed a
little more fastidiously, in that they
wore regular wedding suits, chief of
which was a long coat. A popularity
about the coat is that it is worn by
every bridegroom in the settlement,
two coats being kept in the settlement
in case Of a double wedding, and
whether the bridegroom be tall or
short, large or small, the coat must
do its duty.
With the ceremony over, the guests
and the bridal couples went to the
eating house, where a big dinner COM
posed of noodle soup, bread, beef
sauerkraut, whisky and wine, and
served. The women occupied one long
table and the men another, but the
bridal couples were allowed to sit to-
gether. With the dinner over came
the interesting part Of the ceremony,
and that is the love scene, which fol-
lows a Russian wedding. The COM
pany went to what is called the love-
room in one of the houses, where be-
fore the assembled crowd the brides
and bridegrooms sat with arms around
each other, billing and cooling Oblivious
to the comments and watchful eyes OF
the others. AS sort Of a break in the
monOtony for the brides on of the
young ladies filled the aprons of the
brides with peanuts and candy, which
they munched with complacency as
the joyous festivities proceeded. At
9 o'clock the love scene broke up and
the day of the wedding came to an
end.

sculptor twas asked not long ago to
draw up plans and estimates for a
church in western town.
"Mr. Huston complied. His plans
were beautiful. The cost of the build

1.-The committee in the west wrote
that they liked the plans very much.
But the price, they said, was high.
Couldn't Mr.. Huston let them have a
church like that for $4,000?
"Mr. Huston wrote back:
Say $3.50 more gentlemen, and let
us throw you in a nice spire.''
