The English word which has most impressed the Belgians, writes "E.", is "swank," and they use it frequently and very enthusiastically. Verhaeren himself has been heard to speak of "swankers," and the other evening, when I dined at a house where a Belgian lady was a" "guest, I heard her use "swank" and "swanker" at least half-a-dozen times, laughing very gaily as she did so. There is, it appears, a German word somewhat similar to "swank" with something of the same meaning.

Arrangements had been made for the wedding to take place at the Cathedral at 2 o'clock. At the appointed hour the bride and her friends drove up in five motor-cars suitably decked out with white ribbons. The party entered the church and were alarmed to find that the bridegroom had failed to put in an apearanee. After a long wait a messenger was despatched to the bridegroom's home, but he was not there. Eventually the bride and her friends left the Cathedral, the wedding ceremony being abandoned. It is not known exactly why the bridegroom failed to keep his engagement, although several more or less wild stories are told.
