WASHINGTON-A the many
American memorials in London, none
is more interesting than the mar
riage register of the Church of st.
George, Hanover Square. 1t is the
most popular place for weddings in the
metropolis, and like st. Johns church
| in Washington is usually selected by
| temporary residents and other Ameri-
cans who are to be married In Lon
don. Many international alliances
have been solemnized at st. Georges
altar. You would be surprised at the
number of names of our fellow coun
trymen upon the register. Scarcely
week passes without call upon the
American embassy to witness mar
riage ceremony and Mr.. Carter and
| Mr.. Wadsworth, the secretaries, have
frock coats and silk hats always in
reach for such occasions. The am
bassador graciously appears as wit
ness when the parties are personal
friends or when they are of social or
political prominence.
There are certain requirements for
a marriage In London. 1t Is necessary
for one of the parties to reside in the
parish for a certain length OF time and
a license must be procured as in this
country. After the wedding ceremony
the groom is presented with bill OF
charges, which are fixed by some reg
| ulation SO that everybody connected
with the church gets something the
vicar gets two guineas, the curate one
guinea, the organist one guinea; and
the choir, If its services have been
called for, the clerk, the sexton, the
pew openers, the janitor and all other
attendants are entitled to fixed fee.
and a statement is rendered in detail
upon a blank made for that purpose
The groom can give as much more as
he likes, of course, but he is thus in-
formed of the minimum.
