The marriage Of George Velinch-
kof of Moline and Mara MelanOya
of Bulgaria several weeks ago was
the elimination of a jest pe%rpetrat-

years.
About a year and a half ago q

of Elena, Bulgaria, to teach in the
schools there. She was a graduate
of the University of Paris, and soon
made many friends. The new teach
er was Miss Mara Melanova. She
met CorRelia Velichkof- among
others, and they became friends.
One day while she was writing to
her brother, Miss Felichkof sug-
gested that Miss Melanova enclose
a note to George, merely as a joke.
The note arrived in Moline in due
time and the long distance court
ship was opened Immediately.
Details of the romance were dis
