Arnold N. Lamberty, 26. lst class
engineer, Radio Division, U. 8. N. R,
who arrived in this city yesterday AZ
ter travelling day and night for . week.
from Oakland. Calf, at $50 last night
became the husband Of Mary z. Went
ling. q, Of Elko. New, who came here
Sunday from West Virginia for the
ceremony.
But that's only q part Of the story
Of what war sometimes does to any
Of Uncle Sans boys who wish to wed
the woman Of their choice. The rest
Of it runs like this:
For four hours late yesterday after
noon Lamberty and his bride-to-be
were entangled in the five-day notice
law, something they had never heard
Of before and probably will never for
get. However, Joseph A. Catalan.
Justice Of the Peace, and . clerk in
the office of Registrar McGlennen,
finally tied the knot that will entitle
Lamberty to congratulations from
Naval mates at breakfast in Cam
bridge this morning.
Lamberty, dressed in his naval uni
form, arrived in Boston yesterday
morning from the Pacific Coast, where
he joined the service in July. An ex-
perienced telegraph operator, he had
no trouble in making the radio divi-
sion and a short time ago he received
orders to come East Miss Venting
was on vacation, visiting friends in the
East. They were engaged but the
plans were for a wedding in December.
Lamberty feeling that his fiance might
be on her way West to Elko, New,
while he was speeding East, wired her
Of the fact.
Miss Venting, now Mrs. Lamberty,
suffragist from suffrage State who
voted for Hughes last November, re-
ceived the telegram notifying her that
her sweetheart was on his way East;
and not knowing but what Boston was
onl;- way station East on the road to
france, :he wired him that she would
meet him here. At that time she was
visiting II Morgan Cona.y, W. Va.
Double Quicks to Bureau
According to La,nter.y, "When I
got the message it sure rnade me- feel
good fer knew that MAJ was going
to m.rfy me and we'd not have to wa,t
until December, for the Lord only
knows where I'll be then" bad train
connections delayed him and among
other things there was lt-bour lay
of in Chicago.
The result was he reached Euston
yesterday morning and along with the
batch Of sailors from the Coast, he
finally landed in the quarters Of the
radio contingent in Cambridge. The
fext proposition was to get off and
meet Miss Venting, whom he had not
seen for long time. H. finally got
a leave of absence until tomorrow af-
ternoon. It was then late in the
afternoon.
Lamberty and Miss Venting arriv-
ed at the Registry Of Births and Mar
riages shortly after four o'clock and
with smiling faces told their story
they wanted to get married. "You
must give five days notice." said the
clerk. It was a terrible blow. Lam
berty knew that he would have to be
on duty this morning, lid not know
when he would get another day of and
route for France or some other part Of
the world inside Of five days. =
1t was then that they both felt gooi
travelling. The clerks in Register
l ACoicHucu OuiCc, always CUHSiucTdIS
and willing to help, suggested that 9
Judge might be found who would grant
waiver of the five-day law. Help
said Lamberty, al don't know any
judges. I'm from the Coast anG
we're both strangers"
Everybody Offers Help
1t was then that the office force got
busy and Il is surprisinu how few
judges spend any evenings in Boston
or vicinity during hot weather. After
much telephoning Judge Brown Of the
East Boston Court was located at his
home in Winthrop and consented to
grant the waiver. That helped, but
to find Winthrop Lamberty and his
fiancee needed guide, so young mar
from the courthouse living in Win.
throp volunteered to locate Judge
Browns house for them. 81, s. D.
They went to Winthrop and Judge
Brown gave them the waiver. Guided
back via the Marrow Gauge. they
