ODD WEDDING RITES
MANY STRANGE AND CURIOUS
CUSTOMS OBSERVED.
Unique Assyrian Marriage Ceremony
Takes Place in Milwaukee-5ride
Must Be Silent for Three
Days After Wedding.

For three days Lizzie Herra, an AS
syrian bride, surrounded by hundreds
of relatives and friends, has not
spoken a word, says the Milwaukee
Journal.
Bedecked in her bridal gown of blue
satin brought from far-off Assyria, she
sits like a throned queen, an attend
ant ON either side, receiving her
guests, but saying nothing. Silence
for three days after the wedding is
one of the laws OF the Assyrian re-
ligion.
The wedding, one of the few Assyri-
an weddings that has ever been held
in Milwaukee, has been in progress
for one week at the brides home on
Fifth street, between Wells and Cedar.
All the strange customs of the mother
country have been observed. Assyri-
ans from Chicago, Escanaba, Mari
nette and other cities came to Milwau-
kee for the ceremony. Over 200 guests
were present.
The bridegroom is Richard Frenn.
The wedding ceremony, lasting
three-quarters of an hour, was per
formed Sunday at two. Half an hour
formed by an Assyrian Catholic priest
from Chicago. For three days before
the ceremony the women of the we'd
ding party, with the bride, stayed in
one house, smoking, dancing, talking.
In another house were the men, also
| smoking and dancing. According to
the Assyrian custom, they must not
mingle. In each house there was
| feasting and merrymaking.
The wedding ceremony was per
formed Sunday at two. Half an hour
before it the wedding guests were
allowed to enter the same house to-
gether. But the women remained in
one room, the men in another. AS the
bride entered the house of the bride
groom, she was showered with
strange flowers and confetti.
Then came the weird Assyrian Gus
! tom of the handkerchief throwing. Be
fore she could be married Lizzie Her
ra, the bride, must throw her hand
| kerchief, filled with flowers, to the cell
ing. And she must continue throwing
it until it clings to the ceiling of the
room. And all this time the guests
were showering her with flowers, rice
and confetti.
Again and again and again she
threw the bit of linen. only to see il
tiutter to the floor. When it finally
did remain fluttering from the ceiling
the bride quietly tainted from the eX
ertion and anxiety. But she was soor
revived, and the ceremony went on
Following the wedding there was g
wedding banquet, at which only for
eign dishes were served. There were
chicken and rice, cooked after the
fashion of the country, and eggplant
followed out, stuffed with mutton, thu
chopped meat of the eggplant and 9th
er vegetables, and baked, but NJ
bread, cakes or sweets, as these art
forbidden at wedding dinners. NJ
knives, forks, spoons or plates wer'
used
Oriental pipes, with their long tube
and queer mouthpieces, were smoked
and only the purest Assyrian leaf to
bacco was used. After the wedding
supper came the dancing, but tn,
women danced alone in one room, tn,
men in another.

Race Problem.
What is known as the race prob
lem is one of the most difficult; and
it exists in the North as well as in
the South. But of one thing we can
rest assured, and that is that the
only way in which to bring nearer
the time when there shall be even an
approximately fair solution of the
problem is to treat each man on his
merits as man. He should not be
treated badly because he happens to
be of a given color, nor should he re-
receive immunity for misconduct be-
cause he happens to be of given col
or. Let us all strive according to
our ability and as far as the condi-
lions will permit, to secure to the
man of one color who behaves up
rightly and honestly, with thrift and
with foresight, the same opportunity
for reward and for living his life I'M
der the protection of the law and
molestation by outsiders,
that would be his if he were of an
other color. The avenues of employ
ment should be open to one as to the
other; the protection of the laws
should be guaranteed to one as to the
other Each should be given the
right to prove his life and work
what his capacities are, and should
be judged accordingly. Each is
entitled to the reward which he
earns if he behaves well;
each should be judged with the same
severe impartiality if he behaves i'll.
