LIKE A FAIRY TALE.
(Special to the “ Star.”) WARSAW, July 26. How love will find a way has been again illustrated at Dubno. A wealthy merchant bestowed large dowries on his four ugly daughters and left a pretty one penniless. The pretty one fell in love with a poor man, and the couple organised a plot by which the man courted the ugliest and richest sister. Delighted with this, the father advanced most of the dowry. When the wedding took place the ugly bride and the bridegroom stood side by side. The lights went out and the service continued in the darkness. When the lights came on again it was found that the groom had placed the ring on the finger of the beautiful sister. The marriage has been declared valid.
