BRIDE’S OBJECTION
TO BEING “GIVEN AWAY” 1 . 4 ’ ' United Press Association. —By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.l
LONDON, October 21. • Yet another example of the English girls’ wholesale bid for independence is a movement against the time-honour-ed regulation that she must be led up to the altar and given away in marriage. Scores of advocates argue that the bride arranges everything herself nowdays, from the securing of the husband to the fixing of the wedding day. The Countess of Westmorland, one of the leaders of this movement, says that the old custom does not conform with the modern scheme Modern girls do. not bother even to ask their parents whether they can marry. They are too high-spirited and self-re-liant to be given away by anybody.
