According to Mrs. Broussard the

America, prior to the Revolution. was
made in the village of st. Martinsville,
where today they wear the latest

wore mems hats or scarfs over their

Weddings are Of the greatest pos
sible interest In the little French
Acadian community, and the prepara-
tions for them are begun well in ad-
vance. The bride has a tremendous
assortment Of lovely things to wear,
as in the Old World, two or three
dozen Of each article, as we'll as of
house linens.
in earlier days it was the custom of
the bridegroom to provide the outfit
worn by the bride on her wedding day,
but it is no longer the vogue.
A specially fine cook is engaged
four or five days in advance to bake
up a huge batch of fancy cakes for
the reception, and these are all laid
away on the pantry shelves as COM
pleted. The wedding cake is most i'm
portant, and is apt to be some eight
stories" high, beautifully frosted,
with wee bride and bridegroom on
the top and small mementoes inside.
AS there are only two or three fami-
lies in town who are not of the Cath
olic faith, with the exception Of the
colored people, who are usually Bap-
lists, the weddings are held at the his
toric old church of st. Martins, be-
side which is the revered grave of the
original of Longfellow's poem, EN-
incline Labiche.

require wedding trip. SO after few

Within the past few years there
has been the occasional movie, and
on one never-to-be-f forgotten day the
filming Of the famous scenes around
the old bayou, with a modern concep-
ton of ''EYangeline" as represented
by a descendant Of one Of the early
Acadians. AS all the older folks
speak French, and frequently have
but an imperfect understanding OF
idiomatic English in many instances,
it is not unusual to hear them ex-
planning bits of the movie titles as
they flash past on the sereen-and
explaining them all wrong.

- CATERED here and there in
America are quaint and un-
usual little settlements that
~ have managed in some way to
retain the charming customs
and the language of the country from
which they came, two or three CEN
turieS ago.
In the Carolinas, for example. Prof.
Young was fortunate in finding a
series of delightful old ballads that
are still being sung by the descend
an&s OF the Scotch emigrants, long
after they have been lost to memory
in the lochs and glens beloved by
Bobby Burns.
Rip Van Wrinkle is said to have
awakened to a new day and genera
ton, but evidently he was able to
converse with some of the residents
Of the Sleepy Hollow region made
famous by Washington Irving, as
there still exists there % little Dutch
community, members OF which speak
no English, while their very houses
are built of bricks brought over from
Holland.
Perhaps the most romantic of all
these interesting settlements Is the
village of St. Martinsville, on the
bank of the Bayou Tecie, in the heart
of Louisiana. For this is the home
Of the hospitable French-Acadians,
around whom was woven the poem
of "Evangeline."
It has always been a secluded little
town, since it is three miles from the
nearest railroad and, in spite of the
fame that surrounded 1t as a result
of the poem, has remained untouched
by the modern trend until very
recently.
French is spoken as q matter of
course, and though the younger gen.
Grafton is absorbing a certain amount
of English through contact with the
public school, traditions die very hard

The romantic tale of the exile of
the Acadians, and Of the tragic part
ing of the charming Emmeline
Labiche from her betrothed Louis
Arceneaux in the excitement Of the
deportation, was described to Ma
thaniel Hawthorne by one Of the stu.
dents at Harvard University. Edouard
Simon, later Judge Simon. The pos.
sibilities Of the tradition seem to
have appealed more strongly to Prof.
Longfellow. than to Hawthorne, with
what result is known around the
world.
Indeed, this famous poem has
touched the heartstrings of a nation
and a state and national park is soon
to comprise the regions settled by the
gentle Acadians. while the trail across
the thousands of miles between Winni'

sharp disappointment. It was all just
as usual. Then she saw the two great
crooks full Of mountain pinks up by
the pulpit. She saw, too. the little ta-
Bile down in front shining and free
from dust. The first heaviness of
heart turned to lightness. They ehad
meant it. Then she heard a car drive

With the flowers and the white
dresses of the children and all it was
like an old-time Children's day, Jen
thought. Her heart was very full.
Johnny Frazier went up and laid an
envelope on the pulpit. There was a
queer tension over the room. Folks
were all acutely aware of each other
and yet afraid to look at each other,
a little ashamed of the emotion they
could not hide.
Old Mr.. Marrow sat there with the
envelope in his hands, staring at the
paper 1t contained, even after they

how very white his hair was, how

instead, at the Plants children in the

drew out big white handkerchief
and rubbed at his glasses. Jen had a
swift memory of picture of 1.-The
Good Shepherd" that used to hang in
the Sunday school room when she was
a child. He'd been like that to them
and they'd forgotten! For several long
seconds he stood there. rubbing away

for this auSpiciouS occasion the bride
wears a special dress of great attrac-

The marriage of widows or widowers
