GIRL WEDS GIRL.
One Works To Support The Other. REMARKABLE STORY TOLD. (Australian and N.Z. Press Association.) (Received 2 p.m.) LONDON, September 20. The curious story of two Glasgow women, both aged 26, who went through the marriage ceremony in order that they should not be separated, was told in a Greenock Court when Mary Brown was sent to gaol for 40 days for making a false declaration. Brown, dressed as a man, induced a Roman Catholic priest to perform the ceremony in 1926, and thereafter the women lived together in Ireland, Brown reassuming her female attire, but work- , ing to support the other girl. The magistrate described it as a remarkable affair, and said it was most difficult for him to decide.
