THE WRONG BRIDE
At a roccut country wedding in Southland a remarkable resemblance between the bride and the bridesmaid —her twin —nearly led to an embarrassed bridegroom and bridesmaid being married. The bridesmaids, following the usual custom, had preceded the bride to the place where the ceremony was to be performed. Apparently, in the minister's opinion, one twin was as good as another, and he proceeded with the ceremony. The prompt action of one of the guests probably saved the dazed pair from their fate and an indignant bride from the loss of her bridegroom.
