A rich American Orthodox Jew returned to his native town to seek a wife for his son. He chose Lucy, a beautiful brunette, the youngest of four daughters of a coreligionist. According to the Orthodox Jewish custom, the bride keeps her face covered throughout the evening of the wedding,, which was celebrated at midnight. After the ceremony the bridegroom lifted the veil and was shocked to find that he had married Lucy's eldest sister, Rose, and he fainted. His father is beginning divorce proceedings.
