Fate Might Do as Well Declares License Clerk

t* I j [BELIEVE young couples would j { I often have more luck trustL -.-I ing to fate to select a mate than exercising their own discrimination,” declared Miss Mar garget Mahoney, marriage license clerk, in discussing the ancient Irish custom of letting the lorn swains choose wives solely by examining the debutante’s fingers, thrust through a hole in the wall. ■'Mondays we often have what we ‘week-end’ marriages,” said Miss Mahoney. “They meet in a park on Saturday nights, get married, and perhaps a week later part to meet no more. They get up some of the most grewsome matches you could imagine. I think Pate could do a better job.” At Tailteann, in County Heath, there is a hollow called Lag-an-Ae-naigh, or “Hollow of the Fair.” Here the fond pas and mas would bring the sons and daughters by the thousands at the time of the Tailteann games. Getting Milady’s Finger First of all the youths and maidens were massed on the slopes of the great i’ort of Rathdhu, still to be seen at Tailteann, where the boys smirked and ogled toward the girls, and the girls blushed and tittered in response. There were no introductions. Then, having had a good view of each other, they duck-filed into the little vale of I.aganeany. where they became separated by a high wall. In this wall, say the local traditions, there was a door with a small hole in it, through which each girl passed her middle finger. The youths on the other side looked at the finger, and the first of them to lay hold of it claimed the owner for his bride. Then another finger came through the hole, was seized by an admirer, and so on until all the marriageable couples attending the games were duly mated. Buckled for a Year In pagan times there was a law by which these Tailteann marriages only held good for a year and a day.

And should any of the couples find themselves unable to hit it off together in the meantime the papas and mamas provided that all they had to do was return forthwith to Tailteann, and there in the center of Rathdhu, stand back to back, one facing north the other south, and walk out of the fort as free as if they never had met. “That’s probably the way the ‘weekend marriages’ end up.” said Miss Mahoney. “At the critical moment, one turns his back on the other, and each goes his separate way.” Democratic Dinner Arranged Mrs. Ella Carter has been made FIS FOR OLD FOIKS! Take Haley’s Magnesia-Oil —milk of magnesia and mineral oil combined When nature relaxes her vigilance and permits the bowels to become clogged with accumulating waste matter, a tablespoonful of Haley’s Magnesia-Oil, once or twice a day, will restore the bowels to their normal activity. A perfect combination of milk of magnesia and pure mineral oil, Haley’s Magnesia-Oil provides at one time an efficient antacid for disordered stomach, and a most natural lubricant for the bowels. The mineral-oil carries the milk of magnesia straight to the lower bowel, where it is most required. It is harmless, causes no griping or nausea, and has only the palatable taste of magnesia which is lost entirely when it is mixed with milk. Buy a bottle of Haley’s Magnesia-Oil today, and keep it always on hand. If your druggist can’t supply you we will mall postpaid on receipt of price. Trial size, 35c; family size, sl. Tfh?
