NO JUNE BRIDES
LITHUANIA
Long Wedding Celebrations
Require the Winter
Leisure

New York, Aug. 20.-There are no
divorces in Lithuania. January
brides there are in plenty for 80
per cent. of the weddings in this
new Baltic republic, now waiting
to have the League of Nations fix its
boundaries, occur during the winter
months.
Cupid has to wear furs and nit
tens IN this land but his darts are
just as deadly. You see Lithuanian
wedding lasts for a week or more.
Time cannot be spared from the
fields and farms for such a general
celebration in the summer months
but in the winter all the relatives
of the bride and groom can do full
winter is the time when social affairs
and family visits prosper. Roads
are poor and few in some parts of
the country. Winter makes every
marsh and lake a highway. Neigh
bors are brought nearer when the
gaily painted sledges may be driven
across lots.
Lithuanians say there are no di-
Vorces because native wives are real
helpmates, partners in the farm, and
thoroughly domestic in their tastes.
Maybe it is because long marriage
celebrations are more potent.
The Lithuanian marriage fest be-
gins when the bride gives big party
to her friends on Maiden Night"
The groom, too, has a small and un-
interesting affair.". After midnight he
and his friends visit the brides
home. Then comes the ceremony
of removing the flowered wreath of
girlhood and substituting the ma
irons cap.
The wedding always takes place
on Sunday in peasant circles. If it
is a grand one in a church, the
whole edifice is illuminated brightly.
The bride is led in by two young
men and followed by her brides
maids. The groom and his escorts
follow. Behind the wedding party
come the two mothers.
During the whole ceremony it is
bride to weep. If she does not the
older women scold her until she
does.
After the ceremony comes the
feastlng and dancing. First the
brides mother entertains. Then the
groom's mother is hostess. Celebra-
tions sometimes last for more than
week for after these two big par
ties the relatives of bride and groom
follow suit.
Marriage is a serious business in
Llthuania. When a man marries he
marries for life. His wife is not his
slave. Neither one is the boss The
Wi1e does light work in the fields
and attends to her domestic duties.
