Comedy of Yes and No.
—o — Sequel to a Bridegroom’s Hesitation A bridal couple recently came before the registrar in a small town in Mecklenburg (Germany.) The official in due formula asked the bridegroom if he would take the woman as his wedded wife. He answered, “ No, I must think the matter over.” There was consternation and protestation among the assembled company, and the bridegroom finally asked for an hour in which to reflect. He then shut himself up alone in a room, and spent an hour meditating on his future. At the end of that time the couple made |their second appearance before the registrar. The bridegroom replied to the usual question with a joyful “ Yes!” The official then asked the bride the same question. Her reply was very loud and distinct. “ No,” she said. “ I can’t accept such a weathercock, weak-willed individual as a husband.”
She then drew herself up with scornful dignity and left the room.
