Last Tuesday marked the union
of Anna Speicher and Dan STEM
feldt, nineteen and twenty-one
years old respectively, and the
product of two lovely "Church
Amish" families. All weddings are
strictly home affairs, however,
and we had the good fortune to
be invited to this one.
Weddings start at eight thirty,
and by the time we arose the
black buggies of Amishland were
already vending their way along
the snowy shoulder of the shining
ribbon of highway which wends
over the gently rolling hills.
Amos and Emmaline stopped by
for us. And for once no tempting
odors assailed our nostrils as we
climbed into their family carriage.
NeighbOrs do not take food to
weddings. Emnaline had helped
her second cousin, Minna
Speicher, mother of the bride-to-
be, for two days last week,
though, and she had already told
me that the wedding feast was
to be wonderful good"
The sun had dispersed a little
of the chill in the air by the time
we drove into the Speicher barn
yard and turned the horse over
to the red-cheeked young men who
were acting as voluntary hostlers.
Invitations had been issued to
"Old Order" people as we'll as the
"New," and though there were
broadbrims and black bonnets and
fringed wooden shawls to be seen
on every side, it was a 'dress-up"
occasion, with the men wearing
Entities" under their greatcoats,
and many of the young girls sur
prising us with the brilliance of
the colors they used in combina-
ton with their sedate dresses. /
noted many purple aprons and
orange scarfs.
The home was finely furnished,
according to local standards, with
a bottled-gas range in the kitchen,
decorated furniture, and karre-
bets, (carpets) on the floors of
the main rooms, which had been
thrown together by means of fold
ing doors to accommodate the two
hundred and fifty wedding guests.
There was a sea of bobbinet-cap-
ped heads on the ladies' side, for
even the babies wear white caps
at a wedding. The bride was
pretty in her blue wedding dress,
and her cap was streamlined in
thin white mesh.
Wedding gifts showed a greater
leniency in choice, too, saw, as
we placed our offering of a white
tablecloth alongside the plump
goose-feather pillows brought by
the Zauggs.
The parlor room was gay with
The coastland times. [volume] (Mnateo [i.e. Manteo], N.C.) 1947-1959, 1955-02-11

Thfs is the time for weddings.
The corn has been husked: oats,
rye, and wheat have been thresh-
ed. The hay is in; mows are filled,
and corn fodder is in a stack near
the barns. Manageable sons of
n farm families can be spared
49, a few weeks to visit around
among relatives, which is the
Amlsh equivalent to a honeymoon.
We smile at an item in the coun-
ty paper which states that a
newly welded pair in our COM
munity has set up housekeeping
in the father-in-law's summer
kitchen. To the uninitiated, this
might sound like a hardship, but
we know how pleasant those sum-
mer kitchens are. Furloughed for
the winter now, they are, really a
part OF the main house and are
equipped with good ranges, cup
boards, tables and chairs, and
only need the addition of a couch
bed and heating stove to make
adequate living quarters.
And everyone knows that by
spring the new home will be
ready for occupancy on whatever
qsarter-section of land the groom
has been given by his family.

ers predict that navy blue will be
a leading color this spring but
they don't say anything about it,;
being sensible navy and they would
be the last to want it to last for
years.
Other materials and styles Of
the Golden days" may be revived
any day now. Knitted suits and
dresses came back, so perhaps the
fowery chiffons, the pongees, and
the rattans may once again have
their day. Men have adopted so
many styles and colors once pecu-
liar to women's dress that the gar
ment inustry will simply have to
think of something different TO
keep the women ahead of the fash
ion game.
AS for me, if my pupils keep on
consigning everyone past twenty
five to the wheel chair, all l will
need for spring is a wooden shawl
and a hot water bottle.

colorful hooked rugs, patchwork
cushions, and a plush-bound fam
lily album. Four bishops were
there, as we'll as preacher and
numerous deacons.
Everybody weeps at an Amish
wedding, including the clergy. The
service began with forty-five min
utes of singing, during which
Anna and her nice-looking Dan
were subjected to much scrutiny
as they sat in. prominent place
between the two rooms. The serv-
Gle lasted for three and a half
hours. The preachers stood in the
doorway; the guests were seated
on long, backless benches. An
uncle of the bride preached until
ten; then there was silent prayer,
with everyone kneeling; then one
of the deacons read in impressive
passage of scripture.
The bishop took up the dis
course and preached until eleven
thirty, when the young couple
stood up to answer the fateful
questions. He then placed their
hands together and pronounced
them husband and wife. After
that, brief and appropriate re-
marks were made by other clerics
without rising; then came the
main celebration of the day; the
wedding feast.
Much visiting took place while
the hot dishes were being placed
on the tables before we were call
ed to eat, with many saying kindly
to me, you're here right along,
amt" And many "reminiscences
were exchanged about other we'd
dings. at gets ten years till May
that We vas married" And of
course the young people were gay
to the point of hilarity.
How describe a wedding feast?
To see one displayed is to see the
elimination of all the incompar-
able foods the Dutch prepare.
Sweet pickles balance sour ones;
eggs and red beets offset ginger
tomatoes; rhubarb and strawberry
jam compete with apple butter
and spiced peaches, while chow
chow and picked red cabbage add
their vivid colors to the display.
And these are only accompani-
ments to the main meal!
The brides table has the
choicest food (if choice is pos
sible) and young friends of the
couple sit at this the Corner
table" There is much singing, and
the meal last for three hours.
These are handwriting, hard
living and hard-praying people,
and this is one of their rare days
of Qualification. Yet it has it's
sober, touching moments, too-as
when the company forms com
pleted circle" and "shake and kiss
and say, "God bless you"
The party for the young people
progressed to the barn, where it
would last till almost morning,
with a supper break, but it was

written recently by one of my pu.
pills: "Flapper Anne was a book
about the olden days. A fiappe~
was teen-ager of long, long ago"
All me, l was a fapper once. Oh,
happy olden days.
Again, just recently, l overheard
teenager telling another about a
movie. "There was this real old
woman" she said. "She must have
been almost forty" Ouch.
Speaking of the olden days, l
see that the fashion designers are
revlving another old style-the
MILDLY blouse. Even if l wera of the
age and type to wear the style, it
wouldn't appeal to me, for back in
the long, long ago l wore enough
MILDLY blouses to last me the rnst
Of my life. On school days, l wore
a white MILDLY with blue braid
stripes and stars on the collar, with
matching pleated white skirt. On
Sundays, the outfit was identical,
except that it was made of blue
serge with white braid. Now, that
kind of costume can become mighty
monotonous, and many a little girl
wished fervently that she could
throw her middies into the fire.
Mothers, on the other hand,
thought them wonderful, for the
material was sturdy and could
stand a lot of laundering. The
knee-length socks worn by girls to-
day are similar to the three-quarter
length ones we wore with our
MILDLY suits when we got pass the
ribbed stocking stage. Let us hope
that the world of fashion doesn't
get desperate enough to go back to
those monstrosities-especially the
black ones.

how? For years l wore a blue
serge suit made over from one Of
my mothers, and the thing never
did wear out; l Just outgrew it.

Wounded Deer Travels
1000 Feet And Dies

The eight-point buck deer
which was struck and fatally
wounded by a vehicle driven by
Thurman Vest, of Brunswick,
last week wandered at least
1000 feet from the highway
before it dropped dead, accord
ing to three Belle Valley resi-
dents who tracked the animal
the next morning.
The accident occurred when
the deer ran onto the highway
and collided with the Vest car.
Walton Starr, Bill Starr and
"Sodie" Stewart tracked the
deer the next morning and found
it on the banks of Duck Creek
on the Joe Younger farm, some
1000 feet away.
The men theorized that due
to the condition of the car, the
deer had to be so badly wounded
that it couldn't travel very far
and they were quite correct in
their assumption.

Ayes. Under the law, you
