AMERICAN IN SPAIN Set (Editor’s Note: This article up on one of the lesser known aspects of foreign travel was written by Farwell Perry, prominent young newspaper executive.) So you want to marry the Senorita? Yes, I want to get married. I’ve found the girl I want, and I think I’ve persuaded her she wants me. At least, the 13th time I tried to slip a ring on her finger she unclinched her fist and there it was, right wehere I never thought I’d see it. Never having gone throi^gh anything like this before, I kind of figured that was about all there was to it—except, of course, the mut tering of a few words a short time later that would make it legal and satisfy society. There were a few wrinkles in this match that so far have chang ed what I’d always expected to be the normal course of events in a matter such as this. A less er wrinkle was that she was sail ing to Europe with her parents less than a week before she verbally gave in, but this has de veloped into a slightly larger wrinkle inasmuch as the lady chooses to marry in Spain. Just before sailing on the Satur- nia I called the * Spanish consu late in New York City just to check on what steps were neces sary in Spain to make two legally one. Was I Catholic? No. Was I Spanish? No. ‘Well, we’re very sorry,” I was told, “but it will be quite impossible for you to get inarried in Spain.” Not being officially anything but a prospective Spanish bride groom with such dim prospects, I was hardly in a position to do anything but go along for the ride. So we arrived in Madrid, an American’s shopping mecca both as to price and quality, but not really the place to get married unless you’ve got plenty of time and patience (you’ll also need some dough). Having been told, the day we docked in Barcelona, by the American consul there that if we weren’t Catholic we would be much smarter to go to some other country like Tangiers, for in stance (five bucks and no fuss), we decided to see what the Ameri can consul here had to say about the whole thing. How lucky we were that the consul was Mr. Whittenghill we were unaware until a little later we began to wade through Spanish red tape. After marshalling all the neces sary documents, such as birth cer tificates, passports, etc., we all drove over to the State Depart ment to have our birth certifi cates copied in Spanish. Simple, you think? There are 86 words and numbers on my birth certi ficate, and a just-average trans lator-typist could knock that out in about five minutes. As to the validity of the translation there should have been no question of that, inasmuch as it was being translated of the Spanish State Department itself. The chief man in this department examined our two birth certificates closely, stamped them, numbreed them, registered them, and then told us that the earlieset we could get the translations would be 20 days hence. Whereupon Mr. Whittinghill produced one of his cards, and suddenly it seemed that we could pick them up the following day. This of course, we did but not be fore going through a rather pe culiar process. We were given an address to go to in order to buy some special government pa per with embossed stampings thereon, and also two other species of stamps. After winding through the twisting streets of Madrid, the cab driver stopped, supposedly at the given address, and we pro ceeded to try to find our paper and stamps. Whenever we in quired as to the whereabouts of Tutor 27 everyone would point in a different direction. Finally I noticed the stores and houses had recently been renumbered, but no one had bothered to erase the old numbers, which went in the other direction. After about 10 minutes, my father-in-law-to-be went into an unnumbered little hole in the wall that looked like a bookie stall, and almost magi cally the little man behind the counter reached down to produce what we were looking for. The whole business was amazingly like a treasure hunt. When we came to claim the translated ' birth certificates the next day with our 8 sheets of blank government paper, * these were cut in half, making 16 sheets, each of which had to be stamped and signed by the Chief. Then the three different sets of stamps were stuck on the transla tion.each on top of the other an<£ all of these stamped with a big rubber stamp. Then with a big smile the birth certificate file was given me to take to the judge who presides over the area in which we had chosen to establish residence. According to the con sul's guide book put out by our State Department, it is necessary to establish residence for at least 15 days but it is possible to get a waiver of this requirement, al though in actual practice it takes more than 15 days to get the waiver. It looked as though we were going to be able to make our target date after all until the judge told us that residence doesn’t begin until all the neces sary papers are filed. At last, I thought, the good judge is going to tell us what we have to do. With the consul translating, it seemed that we had to prove that neither of us had ever been a Catholic. If you can’t do this, you don’t get married over here, and they don’t take your word for it either, even if you sign a sworn statement to that effect, which is what I did and which was rejected. The judge wanted the consul to swear that we weren’t Catholic, but of course, consuls can’t do that kind of thing. The judge insisted I get permission from my parents to marry the young lady in ques tion, which my financee thought was taking things a bit far, espe cially since a cablegram from my parents giving " us their blessings was inadequate. Furthermore, continued the judge, you will have to give proof that bans were pub lished for the proper length of time in your state of residence in the United States as well as here in Madrid. In addition you have to prove that neither of you have ever been married before. Things were beginning to look a little dicey at this point, inas much as there is a limit to how unreasonable ( you can get, and for my money that point had al ready . been reached. Thanks to Consul Whittinghill, a compromise was reached later and he drew up five separate cer tificates in Spanish stating that we had sworn to him and he had witnessed that we had never been Catholic, etc., etc. Being thirty- one, my parents were slightly amused at my having to get their permission to marry, but their cable sent through the U. S. con sulate managed to satisfy their red tape cravings on that score. After all these aforementioned requests had been complied with, and after we were told twice that nothing more remained to be done except to sign our names, they suddenly decided that it wasn’t sufficient that the bride’s father and mother were here in person to approve of the marriage' but that it would be necessary to make a document to this ef fect. This meant going to another section of town and going through the same routine with the blank government paper and stamps that we had to go through with the birth certificates. Then, after the parental consent document was laboriously typed up and stamped a dozen times, we were told by a man with a big smile on his face to come back tomorrow. There upon followed much handshaking, thanking, and a little tipping. The next day we returned and were told to go to another office in another section of the city two days from then. Again we shake hands, thank each other, and do a little more tipping. Of all the things we have had to do so far, that day’s work has been the easiest—come back to some other place, manana. Yesterday my intended and I went to the judge’s office and each of us signed our complete names in full five times on what I assume was the master* docu ment. My bride gets a little ner vous when she has to sign her name more than twice, even when TALBERT FEED & SEED COMPANY “The Drive-Ih Feed & Seed Store” 1324 Thompson St Phone 1277 We are now filling PMA Orders FOR PASTURE GRASSES WINTER COVER CROPS CLOVERS « • Now is the Time to Plant Evergreen Lawn Grass A Complete Stock of Quality Field & Truck Crop Seed TALBERT FEED & SEED CO. 1324 Thompson St Phone 1277 Bar NuiMr Expact* Noa-Excluslva Fuhira B AB HARBOR on Maine's Mount Desert Island, once ranked with Newport es a fashionable summer resort; has surmounted e disastrous fire end Is overcaning die current scarcity of millionaires aa she builds for the future.

All I can say is she had better show up at the church if the Spaniards give us clearance.
