SUPERSTITION DEFIED

WEDDING OF SCOTTISH JUDGE. Marriage superstition, which forbids a bride and bridegroom to meet on the wedding day until the actual ceremony was defied by Lord Morison, the venerable Scottish Judge, and his bride, when he married for the second time at Markinch, Fifeshire, recently. Lord Morison, who is 68, and has been a Scottish judge for the last 13 years, called for his fiancee, Miss Georgina Mitchell, at her home, and they motored to the village church. They walked together up the aisle, preceded by the minister who performed the ceremony. There was-no groomsman or bridesmaid. Every effort had been made to keep the ceremony quiet, and even in the little village it was not known until well on in the day that it was to take place in the church. The bridal couple were accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. Small. Mr. Small is a nephew of the bride. The bride wore a blue frock. Lord Morison, prior to going on the Bench, was Solicitor-general for Scotland from 1913-20, and for two years was Lord Advocate for Scotland. His wedding followed the announcement that he had been appointed chairman of the committee which will inquire into and report on the Law of Scotland relating to the constitution of marriage.
