Miss Annie Bernhard Becomes
Bride of Henry Plapinger, of
Brooklyn, Her Schoolmate.

least two young people yesterday after
noon. when Henry Plapinger and Miss
Annie Bernhardt, both deaf mutes, were
married by the Rev. DR.. Barnett a..

Both had attended the Institute for

The romance continued after they left
the institute. Plapinger went into the
cloak business I'm Brooklyn, and fire.
quently visited Miss Bernhardt at the
home of her parents, No. 1876 Floyd
street, Brooklyn.
For the first time in the history of the
Temple Emanuel the entire Jewish
marriage ceremony was performed in
the sign language. The rabbi stood with
the young couple under the silken cam
opy held by four of the bridegroom's
friends and spelled off on his hands the
words which made them man and wife.
AS he used the sign language To the
bride and bridegroom, DR.. Elias re-
peated the words slowly that the young
couple might follow the motions Of his
lips as well as his hands and that their
friends in the audience might also COM
prehend all that was being said and
done. When the time came for re-
sponses from the bride and bridegroom
they replied in the sign language.
Those present in the temple, nearly
half OF whom were deaf mutes. showed
intense interest in the ceremony. When
they began TO gather in the temple
greetings few thick and fast from their
trained fingers. AS the bridegroom, ac-
companied by his father and the father
OF the bride. walked down the aisle the
comments by signs were many, and the
sign conversation was ,quickened when
the bride, a slender girlish figure, lean
ing on the arm of her mother and the
mother of her future husband, marched
TO her place beneath the canopy.
The ceremony was made even more
solemn as lie congregation beheld the
intensity with which the young couple,
standing face To- face before the rabbi,
watched breathlessly the slightest move
merits of his hands.
When DR.. Elias began the words of
the ritual, spelling them cut with his
fingers as he spoke them, n deep hush
fell over the assembly. From the in
tense faces OF the spectators they seemed
e. be striving to assist the young couple
in understanding what was. being said
To them and in making their answers.
The faces of TIE bride and bridegroom,
however. were radiantly happy from the
moment they took their places before the
rabbi until at the end of the ceremony
they drank from the bridal cup.
When the benediction had been pro-
Eounced. orally and in the sign Ian
guage, the bride, for the first time since
entering the temple raised her veil, re-
vealing her face to her husband.
After the ceremony Mr.. and Mrs. Plap-
niger went to their future home, No. lbs
FLOYD street, Brooklyn, for the marriage
feast After the feast they started for
Atlantic City. where they will spend a
two weeks honeymoon.
