A Mixed Wedding Party.

“The college roommate of a friend of mine was engaged to a lady in New York,” writes the Rev. D. M. Steele In his article on “Some People 1 Have Married” in The Ladies’ Home Journal. “His people are CongregationalIsts, but while at Yale he became a Unitarian. Her parents are Roman Catholics, but she was a member of the Ethical Culture society at Carnegie hall. In compliance w r lth her mother’s wish he asked five different priests to marry them, but all refused. In despair he came for me. I married them, an Episcopalian, with the ritual service In a Presbyterian chapel. The Roman Catholic brother of the bride and the Congregational sister of the groom were present. This sister acted as one witness; the other witness was a Jewess.”
