Reason for Scanty Garb of Soma
Old-Time Brides.
In Ingland It Was Held That Aot Be
lieved Husbands ef Debt Corv
tracted by HI Bride Before
Their Marriage.
"A Ilsngor Iswyer attending court la
the sndrnt town of Wlsraaset Lincoln
county.' recently went ruiumaglug In
the Colonial court record of the place,
and In tbe count of bis reading cam
across the nfllctul registration of a
'siuiM-k marriage," write L. T. Bmy'li
fron Bangor, Me to the Boston Tran
script, . "Not knowing what a smock
marriage was, the luwyer Jnoked fur
ther, and got cj.nilcrii1ile Unlit upon
a custom thiit prevailed In F.nnlqnd S
century or more ago and also to some
eitent In the American colonics.
"Smock nuirrlMxea were weddings
where th bride pisred dressed In s
white sheet or rhetulse. The reason
for aurb s garb was the belief that If
msn married a woman who was In
debt he could be held liable for her
Indebtedness If he received with her
any of her prierty; and also, that If
a woman married a man a ho was In
debt, his creditors could nut tuku ber
property to satisfy their claims If be
bad received nothing from her st mar
riage. In Kngliind. say. an antiquari
an, there was at least one case where
bride waa clothed In purls nsturall
bus while the ceremony waa being per
formed In the great church at lllnulng
bam. The minister at first refused to
perform the ceremony, but, finding
nothing In the rubric that would ex
cuse hi in. be finally married the pair.
"To carry out the law fully as the
people understood It, the ceremony
should slways have been performed aa
It waa In the church at lllnnlni;lism."ln
tbe case noted 7 but. modesty forbid
ding, various expedients mere used to
accomplish the end without th un
pleasant features. Sometime the
bride stood In a closet and put her
hand through a hole In the door ; some
time she stood behind a clotb screen
snd put ber band nut at one side;
sgaln, she wound about her a whit
sheet furnished by the bridegroom, snd
sometimes she stood In ber chemise or
smock. Eventually, In Essex county,
st least, all Immodesty was svolded by
the groom furnishing all tbe clothe
worn by the bride, retaining the title
to the same In. himself. Tbla he did
In the presence of witnesses, that he
might be able to prove the fact In case
he was sued for any debt ah might
have contracted. A marrlnge of tide
kind occurred at Bradford In 1773, and
tbe following la true copy of the rec
ord of the same:
" "Bradford. Dec. ye 24, 1773 Tbla
may certlfle whomsoever It may con
error that James Bnlley of Bradford,
who was married to the widow Mary
Bacon November 22 last past by me ye
subscriber then declared that he took
said person without anything of estate
snd that Lydls tbe wife of Uazer Bur
bank and Mary tbe wife of Thomas
Stlckney and Margaret tbe wife of Ca
leb Burhank all of Bradford were wit
nesses that the clothes she then had
on were his providing and bestowed
upon her.
"WILLIAM BLACH.
" 'Minister of ye Gospel.'
"It Is noted by the same writer that
In all cases of smock marrlnge that
have come to his notice the brides
bavp been widows.
"It Is thought that during the reign
of George HI there were many smock
mnrrlages In Maine, then a part of the
province of Massachusetts Bay, chief
ly In the counties uf Lincoln and Tork,
or In the territory which Is now ao
known. There Is nothing to show that
the practice outlived tbe Revolution.
In Maine, up tn 1S.12, a husband was II
uble for debts of his wire contracted
before marriage, and no such subter
fuge as the smock marriage could re
lieve him." -
Hew Pip Reveals Character.
A new method of telling a man's
charactei is now advanced by William
K. Crltchlow, ninety, of Macon, Mo.
He said:
"You can tell more about a man by
th way he lights his pipe thsn you
can by the shape of his head. There's
l tne teiiow wno sinses a mnicn on in
south end of his trousers, holds his
hands over the bowl until he gets It
going, throws down the match any old
place, and tilts bis pip up toward the
North Star. That man may burn down
hla home and barn, but bell never
lick bis wife or children, because bis
heart's right.
"Crooks and bad men don't often
smoke pipes. Tbey wouldn't be crooks
If they did, because there's something
about an old hickory pipe that Inspires
a man to play fair with bis neighbors."
