It Is the lsth of March, known in the Catholic church as St. Joseph's day, celebrated In memory pf Joseph, the husband of Mary. In some pieces a programme is given, but In Malln, as In many other places. It Is honored wrth a dance and beer bust. Every man or woman whoae name la Joseph or Jose phine must pay for the beer. And the memory of the man dignified to a saint la kept alive with song, dance and beer until the early morning hours.

Qaalat Caatesaa Osamci, A Bohemian wedding at Malln last Winter, preserving most of the old country customs, was the delight of a few American friends. Tne quaint cus toms were a rest to those accustomed to all forms from .he dtpr.l'.td Oiurch wedding to the baa til. t Ad knot from a flying automobile. After the slmiWe ceremony the couple were greeted at the hall by all their friends.

At tha stroke of 11 the bride Is placed In a .chair, her wreath la removed and a cap placed a ft her head. Thu bouque; ' -en from tbe bridegroom. The parents of the pair advance and sing, tbe young couple sing alternately. The custom is sym bolical. The woman is now a wife and the man Is no longer a sweetheart. After this the ' men gsthered in a circle, the bride standing in tbe center. Each man In turn danced with the bride. A circle of women formed about the bridegroom and he was honor bound to give each a swing. Finally the brldgegroora rushed from the ring, rescued bis bride and the floor cleared, leaving the newly married couple to dance the one number alone. Song, dancing and merrymaking con tinued until morning. And the next day the bridegroom paid his bill to' brer, wienies, sandwlchea and cheese. (elear la Organised.
