COST DEPENDS ON THE DAY

Weddings on Monday in Holland Bring 40 Cents—Saturday Bargain Day. The Hague.—The cost of getting married in The Hague all depends on the day of the week. For some reason that has never been explained Monday is society day and marriages on that day at the city hall, where every couple must go for the official ceremony, cost 60 guilders (nominally equivalent to 40 cents each). On Saturday the charge is 5 'guilders, or nothing at all, depending upon whether the couple wish a separate ceremony all for themselves or be married in groups of twenty couples at a time.
