What Esperanto Is Doino?


TO the Editor OF the kenncbec Jour
nal:
A few days ago n prominent Au-
2usta gentleman asked an Espera mt :
ist here whether Esperanto is doing
anything now. For the benefit Of 9TH
ers who may be asking themselves the
same question. will you kindly allow
space for the following partial reply !?
After the famine conditions abroad
had made sufficient impression at
this distance to lead to the estab-
lishment Of the American Relief Ad-
ministration, an Esperanto Director
in Gfa. Russia. sent to addresses in
America an appeal for help for his
own family. This appeal was written
entirely in the Esperanto langua ge.
Between the writer of that appeal
and his addresses there existed.
aside from that of common humanity.
no bond whatever except that of
common interest in the Esperanto
movement. An order was sent to the
American Relief Administration for
food for this Russian family. 1t
CHANGED that on the very day when
the question above referred to was
asked, the following letter. which wa S
written exclusively in Esperanto, was
received here.
"Cfa, Russia, June 81, 1922.
Esteemed friend:
With immense Joy and tears Of
gratitude, we have today received your

have, and such as we have rot seen
in long time: while the American
Relief Administration does not sell
its own goods even for United states
money. and only distributes in ac-
cordance with outside orders. Now
we are happy, and tranquilized in
regard to our treasured Petschyo
who, like his mother, calls to You his
profoundest gratitude.

hunger was like, but now, having eN-
rerienced it for long time. | see that

For eight years now l have not
known anything which has taken
place in the Esperanto world. My last
conversation was with the Master.

"A smock marriage" is something
which a Bangor attorney discovered
while looking through tie colonial
records in the ancient town of Wis
casset, Lincoln county. Not know
ing what was a "smock wedding" he
looked further and got some light on
a custom that prevailed in England
and in some of the colonies as well, in
the 18th century.
Smock marriages were weddings
where the bride appeared dressed on
ly in a white chemise or sheet. The
reason for such a garb was the belief
that if a man married a woman who
was in debt he could be hc'' Ii. BILE
for what she owed if he received with
her any of her property: and also
that if woman married a man who
was in debt his creditors could not
take her property 70 satisfy their
claims if he had received nothing
from her at marriage.
In England. says an antiquarian.
there was at least one case where
bride was in puris natura1ibus while
the ceremony was being performed in
the great church at Birmingham.
The minister at first refused to per-
form the ceremony but finding moth
ing in the rubric that would excuse
him, he finally married the pair.
