A ES
WEDDING PARTY
Unable to Pronounce or Spell
Russian, Man and Woman Are
Given Titles.

Providing a name for an infant child
In guardianship proceedings is not an
unusual occurrence i'll courts of re-
cord. but Judge Daniel Grinnan in the
Chancery Court yesterday had the uni
que experience of providing the names
for a man and woman seeking to be
married. The pair are Russians and
they sought to have a guardian named
for the girl. in order that he might
give his consent to her marriage, she
being under age. They brought with
them an interpreter who could speak.
but not write Russian. and for a time
there was a general mixup.
One attorney, who Glanced TO be in
attendance on the court, questioned
the pair in what he called German. hut
they gave no response. Latin offered
by the court was equally foreign, as
was French.
There was vehement ge%sticulation
and much writing OF unintelligiblc
things on court papers. ugustu
Brantz. n Richmond merchant, offered
TO qualify as the girls guardian, and
was appointed by the court, who ruled
that the girl should spell her name
Felicia Bchclowna. that being the near
est tho court could get to the pro-
nunciation. Later In tho Hastings
Court Felicia's new guardian gave his
consent and n license was Issued for
her to we'd Stef Sake, though that isn't
the. way his name was spelled In the
other court. Anyway, they will be
married on Saturday.
Deputy Clerk william Woodson. of
tho Cliancery Court. was still puzzling
last night how to transfer tho Russian
names OF the girls father and mother
10 his record. 1t was suggested tina
\ he have tho application photographed.
