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

Shrewd Yankee town fathers real

building of modest vacation eabins

With Canada's help. Bar Harbor

means down to this pine-scented
American vacation place. Smal
sailboats and cruise ships for thosr

sailed over the cool blue water^

Newport's social paoa was re

Gay Nineties. Seeking a quieter and
more distant environment than was
to be found in the Rhode Island
resort, men of wealth built great
homes to which they came In
summer aboard their yachts or in
luxurious steamboats from Boston
and New York.
In fjordlike Somes Sound which
nearly cuts the island in two,
Mount Desert has a scenic asset
reminiscent of Norway. The Jack-

fire but rebuilt, holds an enviable
reputation for medical research.

Mount Desert’s planners hope to

it comes to cashing traveler’s

when this mission had been suc
cessfully accomplished.
All I can say is she had better
show up at the church if the
Spaniards give us clearance.
