We go in for the sentimental and
smushy things concerning divorces,
weddings ETC., but twenty years ago
accounts of weddings were published
which were as exciting as real dime
Thriller, They had a plot, a climax
and everything.
I For instance >in the State Journal
CONS of twenty years ago, an account
| is given of a Jewish wedding happen
| ing in Maryland. 1t seems that just
as the bride and the prospective
| bridegroom one by the name OF
| Samuel were marching down the aisle
4 of the synagogue, a desperate dis
carded lover rose out of his seat,
slipped a perfectly brand new dollar
into the girls glove, a ring on her
little finger and announced to the as
sembled company that in the sight of
lGod, Abraham and the guests that the
| bride belonged to him and was his
wife. Whereupon after standing
speeches the prospective husband,
Samuel, threw himself face down.
| ward in the aisle and cried. The
weeping bride stood mute1 wringing
Iher hands and raising the weeping
Samuel who had thought he was to
be the bridegroom, declared that she
could not marry him as she was the
| bride of the other. For according to
the old orthodox Jewish faith, when
a girl is presented a new coin, a ring
is put upon her finger and in the
presence of three or more witnesses
| the man proclaims her his wife, she is.
The account of the wedding twenty
4 years ago, ends as all perfectly good
stories do with a happy ever after
| ward part. The rabbi took several
| hours to deliberate over the thing and
finally decided that the discarded
lover had not uttered the words of
the marriage contract entirely cor
rectly and so the weeping one by the
name of Samuel and the bride were
married two hours afterward-
