of joy is supposed to be full, when
they are to proclaim their love for
each other in the form of kiss in the
presence of ala sudden hush makes
itself felt. The wine goblet is thrown
to the ground with a dramatic fling,
and before the sound of crashing and
jangling glass has died away, the
beadle cries out: "Ze ha-ot!"-this is
the sign; the sign commemorating
the destruction of Jerusalem and the
devastation of Palestine, resulting in
the dispersion of the remnant who
escaped the Roman sword, to lands
strange and hostile. For the twink
ling of an eye tremor of sadness
makes itself felt in the air, but soon
joyous cries make themselves heard:
"Mazzal Tov! Mazzal Tov!" (good
luck). A shower of barley, rice and
raisins greets the couple, and they are
marched off to the wedding feast.
The bride and the groom are seat

her follow her near relatives, the
younger folk singing songs in honor
of the occasion and in praise of the
young couple.
The groom takes his place under
the Huppeh right in the middle; and
the bride is led around him by her
parents seven times. Then the Ketu-
bah marriage contract) is read in
Aramaic, enumerating the obliga-
tions husband owes his wife, among
which are food, raiment, fidelity,
honor, respect, etc. The Kenas (pen-
atty for breaking the marriage tie) is
emphasized. And the groom puts a
ring on the brides finger and an
nounces in Hebrew: "Be thou con-
secrated to me in accordance with the
laws of Moses and Israel" Then the
Hazzan (synagogue choir leader)
chants seven blessings over cup of

There is perhaps no other people
on earth among whom marriage is
spoken of with so much earnest ten
derness as among the Jews of the
East European ghetto. The wealth
Of endearing terms bestowed upon
it, the flights of golden figures of
speech, the note-joyous exaltation ac-
companying it, marks this experience
among them as one of the noblest and
purest of which human life is cap
able.
They never weary of quoting those
prophets who liken the relation be-
tween Jehovah and his people to the
relation of bridegroom and bride.
Jehovah is welded to His people even
as husband to his wife; both parties
rejoicing in each others happiness
and sorrowing in each others anguish.
1t is true, the husband is the Ba'al,
the master or owner, and the wife is
the Be'ulah, the owned. But it is
such a precious piece of property,
such a choice possession, that the
master gladly lets himself be mas
tered rather than master.
An engagement at once marks
young person as privileged char
acter. Special prayers are offered up
for him when he appears in the syna-
gogue. When an engaged couple en-
ter home they are met with royal
hail: "Yehi ha-hasson we ha-kalloh!"
Nong live bridegroom and bride.)
Any one so tickle of fancy as to be-
come engaged once too often, is
pronounced dangerously inconstant.
The ideal being marriage for aye
and forever, for better, for worse
throughout all eternity; so that there
would be no occasion to marry or to
be given in marriage when one passed
the narrow portals leading to the
Great Beyond. Indeed, the man who
was asked which Of his eight we'd
dings he enjoyed most and replied
"the ninth, could never have been

The groom and the bride, in fes-
tive attire Of black gaberdine and
white veil, are conducted to the Hup-
pah Canopy, which is stationed
somewhere under the open sky near
the home of the bride. They come in
two separate professions, escorted by
their nearest of kin. Young girls with
candles, torches, and lamps in hand,
march on both sides. At the head are
the musicians, playing a wedding
march. Now and then they inter-
sperse it with lacy melodies Of pas
toral artlessness, or are led off by
the fiddlers into mazes of sombre-
hued musical patterns of strange and
rare quality, sonorous, glowing, and
passionate. But a minor-keyed note
reverberates through all of them and
slowly creeps to the base of ones
heart. Next to the musicians and

invited itself. During the feast the
rabbi Of the town delivers learned
sermon mainly dealing with the ad-
vantages of married life, pleading
for forbearance and liberation on the
part of each with the whims and
caprices that he might meet in the
other. He usually intersperses his
sermon with a profusion of Talmudic
quotations such as: "He who lives un-
married lives without joy, without
comfort, and without blessing.-Mar-
riages are made in Heaven.-He who
lives without wife is like unto a
city without wall: He shall never
know peace.-A man in want of a
wife is man in want of all things
TO the worthy man, his wife is a help
mate; to the unworthy, hindrance.-
First establish a home, then plant a
vineyard, and then marry.-A wife
more learned than her husband is
like unto boot much too large for
the foot.-He who finds a good wife,
finds the greatest treasure earth af-
fords. Better all evil in the world
than a spiteful woman" probably
ending with the counsel: "Yesmakh

bridegroom with thy bride).
And then the occasion is turned
over to the professional cheer-maker
the Badkhan; a scholarly sort of
jokesmith who sings songs of his own
or other peoples making, and now
and then let's fly arrows that would
result in broken heads the world
over, if they came from any one not
crowned with cap and bells. He pro-
pounds riddles, tells anecdotes, and
chants doggerels that are usually a
mixture of side-splitting droliery
and heart-gnawing pathos. Occasion
ally he doffs his cap and bells and
launches forth on something or other
in real earnest. But he always re-
turns to his insignia of privilege be-
fore he is through.
In recent years Jewish weddings
are celebrated with no Badkhan. The
office of the Badkhan has practically
disappeared He is now known by
the uncomplimentary name of Lett
(wag); and his whole tribe go under
the name Of Letzim, many of whom
either in person or progeny are this

songs in Tin Pan Alley. For with
the tragedy of East European ghetto
life growing more and more bitter in
recent years, marriages have become
less frequent and festivities more
solemn.
The feast over, the musicians strike
up some dance, the tables and chairs
are cleared out of the way, and old
and young take the floor. The young
folk dance with the bride and the
groom; the old folks with the happy
parents. The non-Jewish neighbors r
come in for their share of cheer. Wine
flows freely, for the weddings of the
poor are not much different from the
weddings of the rich, as the rich are
supposed to supply all the necessaries

MARKEr WAS DULL

New York, Sept. 2e.-The upward movement in prices was resumed in to- day's stock market, but trading was rel atively light and fluctuations generally were within narrow limits.
 heavy accumulation of week end buying orders apparently resulting from the more hopeful developments in the mar eastern situation and steady i'm provement in local conditions imparted a strong tone to opening quotations but when these were disposed of the market lapsed into dullness. Short pressure against some of the non-dividend paying rails and speculative industrial favor ttes later caused some irregularity, but the general list held up well under the selling pressure.
 Revived reports of mergers and capital establishments were partly responsibt' for the continued rise in standard oil shares Standard oil of New Jersey crossed 199 to a new peak price for the year and Standard Oil of California also moved to new high ground. Another in dividual feature was Gulf States Steel, which was pushed up to a new 1922 high at s4 on a gain of nearly points, nut fell back to 91 1-4 at the close. The small floating supply of this stock makes It susceptible to pool operations.
 Speculative selling of some of the cheaper railroad shares apparently was in anticipation of some poor earnings re- ports for August coming out in the next few days. The August figures are ex- pected to show the principal effect of the coal and rail, strikes. Rock Island was the principal target of selling pres sure, showing a net loss of l point on a turnover In excess of 10000 shares Bal timnre and Ohio and St. Louis South western laso were sold rather freely but tho offerings were well absobed.
 The substantial advance in >ynerchan- dising shares. particularly Woolworth and s. S. Kresge, was attributed to re- possibility of further stock dividends woolworth advanced 1-2 points on a small turnover, while Kresge touched iso. a new high for the year. but fel back later to TIT. May department stores also made an appreciable gain.

BOND MARKET

New York, Sept 25.-Prices in today's dull bond market moved with an irregular trend. The foreign group held steady or moved to high levels, but a number of the popular domestic liens showed declines of a point or more.
 Large traders in bonds apparently have adopted a 'watchful waiting policy pending announcement of the terms of the governments refunding operations, which is expected shortly.
 Belgian S's rose IA and Czecho-Slo- vakian Ss, 1, while Swiss 8's equalled their high for the year and the French issues improved fractionally. Brazil 7's were down 3 points in sympathy with the recession in the exchange rate.
 Chicago and Northwestern 5's of 1897 rose nearly 8 points and Frisco 6's, Series c, 3-s. However, West Shore railroad As slipped back 2 1-2 and declines of 1 to i 1-4 were registered by Rock Is- land refunding 4's, Chicago and West ern Indiana fours Kansas City South ern 5's and Missouri Pacific general 4's.
 Kelly Springfield S's, which moved up a point, were the outstanding exception to the rather reactionary tendency In the industrial list. Distillers securities 5's, which enjoyed sensational advance last week. dropped 1-2 today and losses of a point or more took place In General Electric 6's, Bethlehem Steel refundins Els, Donnar Steel 7's. Cerro De Pasco s's, Brooklyn Union Gas 7's and Wilson Packing convertible 6's.
 Liberties were quite irregular with most most of the changes downward. To- tai sales (par value) were $11,04e, 900.
 Syndicate managers of the $75 5,000, ,000 federal land bank bond offering, which was put out today. reported that the is sue was quickly taken. The books were closed before II o.ciock.

New London.

During the past week there have been three permits for construction issued in New London, a loss of one permit over the corresponding week of 1921. The cost of the buildings was $1200 as against $500 for 1921 and $6200 for 1920.
 The general contract tor the proposed tic for the State Tuberculosis Sanitarium cribed before in these columns, will be of frame construction and will be fitted throughout with every modern convenience found in a structure of type. It will cost approximately $20,000. The sub-contracts have been awarded.
 Architects have started preliminary plans for the new school to be erected on Stanton st. The building will be of brick construction, two stories high 55xS5 feet, having six rooms heated by steam and equipped with the latest improve- ments. The appropriation for the build ing is about s60,O00.
