means parents dancing together and

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.
Th'a other day of equally .mpresslre
ceremony Is July t, marking the mar

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. L'P until midnight.' the oid
custom la the bride and ttendanta
wear wreaths, tha bridegroom and his
maa carry bouquets. At tha stroke of
11 the bride Is placed In a .chair, her
wreath la removed and a cap placed a

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.
