Moreover, their oldest daughter, Etta, was last Sunday married ethically to Prof. James Hamilton, head worker of the University Settlement, Now what {s an ethical marriage? In New York it 1s the marriage ceremonial of the Ethical Culture Soclety which Dr. Pellx Adler, its fax president, and his two assistants, John Elliott and Percival Chubb, are by special act of the Legislature empowered to celebrate. It was this rite performed by Mr. Elliott at his home, No, 361 West Twenty-seventa street, which married Prof. Hamilton and Miss Brodskl. g woman's parents were, however, united by a much simpler The youn; | ceremony They merely exchanged rings In the presence of three witnesses. a marriage quite as valid in Leipsic, Dr. Brodski told me to-day, as any that could be solemnized with all the pomp of the church.
