The fair, to be held from for The Book House For Children They believe their findings, arrived at after digging through numerous rare documents and other references on romance, marriage, and wedded bliss, covering a period of .thousands of years, will help to make business boom at the nation's marriage license windows during 'the month of brides." ; For example, Of, the Stone Age man, had to steal his bride from her family and drag her off in the dead of night to his cave retreat. No one worried about his wedding breakfast even if the bride had never learned h<W to skin a wild boar and cook it over an open fire.

Among these Germans, who lived during the latter days of the Roman Empire, "hope chests" and trousseaus were unheard of, and the bride's friends never felt obligated to give her a "shower" of household goods for her new home.

Only then was the young couple permitted by law to set up housekeeping apart. In contrast, the modern bridegroom is expected to attend only an occasional Sunday dinner at the "in-laws' home, and he can ftnd an excuse now and then .to evade' even that obligation.
