A Dutch wedding Is a portentous
business. Smart Holland does its de
votions In hornlike Trench Protestant
chuiches. The wedding service Is
mournful to a degree, und lasts two
hours. The bildegroom, In full even
ing dre&b, and tho bride. In orthodox
white satin, sit upon chairs In front of
the black-iobed minister He delivers
an extempore addiess talrlj bilbtllng
with personalities. Meanwhile 1 da
tives sob In pews, until nnally eveiy
one who can piove the remotest con
nection with tho bride kisses her.
Next follows n tiemendous breakfast
In French style. It Is "de rlgueur" for
all the f 1 lends of the bride to send her
In the morning a bouquet or basket of
white flowers plentifully ribboned. With
numbers of the&i a very gay effect Is
pioduced, though the Dutch uru la
mentably behind the times In table
decoration and poscy-maklng With
the udvent of the "hors d'oeuvre" come
speeches. The bride's brother or other
delegate flrst lings a small handbell.
Then, nmld n silence broken by the
cheerful clicking of knives nnd folks,
a health Is proposed. Then comes n
quaint postscript to tho very ordinary
ceremonial. Ladles and gentlemen
must alike arise from their seats, and,
solemnly nilng up to the poison toast
ed, touch his glass with their own
After a score of Bpeeche3 the thing gets
monotonous, but It Is catrled out to the
bitter end. Any person omitted would
feel aggrieved. In Holland It is tho
family before everything. A leading
bairlstcr was recently compelled to
tluow up an Impoitant engagement in
older to attend tho hlithday party of
an aged father who lived three hours
distant by rail.
The Dutch aro excellent husbands,
but quite preposterously Jealous. An
Englishman who found himself In a
party consisting of almost entirely of
assorted couples, ventured to pay a
few compliments and mild attentions
to a charming young married woman
He even had tho assurance to Include
her in a general offering of roses made
to the company The husband was
furious. He canceled a previously giv

awful rumors that, though duels are
now veiy rare, he desired to challenge
the offender, who wisely placed the sea
between himself nnd his would-bo op
ponent. Babies hnvo a comfortable time
enough In Holland, where tho cramp
ing swaddllng-plllow is replaced by
English laylettes. It Is, however, ex
pensive to know too many, for every
woman who visits or Is visited by
nurse and Infant for tho flrst time must
give tho former at least Ave shillings.
