Petrograd Gardens Were Real Marriage Market Business often plays an import ant part in the matrimonial market, | especially in some parts of Europe, j and an old-time custom in Petro grad was once responsible for the yearly pairing off of all eligibles. On Whitsunday afternoon the j famous summer gardens were thrown open for the marriage mart. Girls and their mothers, bachelors : and their fathers —the entire popu- ] lation, in fact—thronged the gar dens for the purpose of finding suit able partners. The girls put on their prettiest clothes, and wore their prettiest smiles, and as they promenaded to and fro, they and their parents kept a wary eye for a suitable husband. The girl frequently held some ob ject of value in her right hand as a symbol of what th< aspirant might be led to ex-pect in the shape of a dowry. Sometimes it would be silver spoons or a silver dish, or, in the case of one of humble means, a homely looking jar. When a favorable impression had been made, the suitor would ad dress the girl's companion—prob- ably the marriage broker or sales woman whose business it was to act as medium in these transactions— and particulars of his name, address, age and prospects would follow in due course. The question of "her" dowry would then receive consideration, and if the union was a suitable one from all points of view, the mar riage saleswoman received a fee for her services.
