A QUAINT MARRIAGE CUSTOM.—Many quaint customs are still carried out in conjunction with wedding ceremonies in the counties of England. Here we see a party firing a salute after the wedding of Dr G. H. Findley and Miss M. Williams in a tiny Cornish village. It is an old, local marriage custom there for farmers and their Hands to fire 100 rounds from the surrounding hills. Photograph shows the feu de joie in progress.
