"It seemed like eternity but it worT'f be long now," they told reporters. ' ' I sat in the Consul 's oiiice until I got my farewell tieket," said a vivaeious blonde bride, "but oh, boyj it'll be some second honeymoon. ' ' For brides and fiancees who are being assisted to United States by the authorities there, this will be "the last round up." Others wishing to join husbands will have to pay their own s fare.
