Novices Flash Rolls,
Not the Wise Birds
San Franoisco.—Officials of the San
Francisco marriage bureau say that
because prospective bridegrooms en
deavor to display money in large rolls,
their office is called upon to change
more money daily than any other
county office, except that of the treas
urer. A small boy is kept busy by the
bureau getting $10, $20 and $50 bills
changed.
“This is the greatest place in the
world for a man to put up a big
l ‘front’,” declares the deputy county
clerk, who is in charge of the license
bureau. “Men, young, middle-aged
and old, come here with their prospec
tive brides and take out marriage
licenses They know the license is #2,
but they come with about all the money
they can lay their hands on, done up in
a roll.
“They change the money before they
come into the biggest bills they can
get and they come out here and make
a flash before their brides to-be.
“Of course, some men do not do this.
The really successful business man
usually pays in silver. It is not un
| usual .for a wealthy man, particularly
if it is his second {or third marriage, to
show no bills at all, but to ask the
bride if she has any change.
“Men who have been married before
generally show ttfo wisdom of never
showing too much money.”
