The groom wag dressed in conventional black. He is a pros- perous and energetic young man of Atlanta. Mr. and Mrs. Rutherford will make their home in Lakeland. SOME RECORD ENGAGEMENTS Opinions have always varied con- cerning how long matrimonial en- gagements should last, and most peo- ple are agreed that they should not last for more thun a year or two. Re- cently, however, some cases have come to light of loving couples hav- ing waited for so long before they were able to marry that when the “‘happy day” arrived they had de- veloped into quite old men and wo- wen, At the beginning of the present year, for instance, a German slipper maker, named Hessberg, led to the al- tar a woman to whom he had been engaged for over 30 years. When he was quite a young man, only 28, in fact, he met and fell in love with a charming young girl, to whom he plighted his troth. The marriage was actually settled when a rich aunt threatened to disinherit him if he should wed the lady of his choice. Ac- cordingly the wedding was postponed until the aunt died, but when her will was read it was found that she had left her money to her mephew only on condition that he did not | parry his sweetheart until 30 years fiom the time of his aunt’s decease. Hessberg and his sweetheart consult- ed together over what they should do, and finally decided to wait the Tan.

In February last the long period of wait- ing expired, and the happy but much aged couple were made man and wife. A romantic marriage took place at a Congregational church in Derby- shire a few months ago. The bride and bridegroom had been engaged to cne another for nearly 40 years. The reason for this lengthy courtship was that the bride had promised her dy- ing mother that she would devote herself to taking care of an afflicted brother, thus making her marriage impossible. When at last the broth- er died she was free to wed the man who had waited for her so long, and the nuptials were celebrated amid the rejoicingg of the countryside. A vow to make a big fortune sep- arated two Swiss lovers for even Ilcnger than this. A young man named Herzfeld became engaged to a beauti- ful girl before he was 20, and shortly afterward set out alone to America in order to make his fortune. Before leaving he vowed he would not retura to claim his bride until he had made $100,000. It took him 45 years to fulfill his vow, and during all that time his sweetheart waited patiently for him in Switzerland. At the end of the 45 years Herzfeld returned home white-haired, but rich and still loving, and very shortly afterward he was happily married to his faithful sweetheart.
