    3. (These people are from St. Louis; however, I thought you would like this article.) "The Kansas City Times" (Missouri) Thursday, January 2, 1913 THEY WED WITH NEW VOWS. St. Louis, Jan. 1. -- Every day is to be a New Year's day in the calendar of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph ALTMAN, who were married yesterday morning just as the bells throughout the city were chiming forth their greeting to a new year. Miss Sadie LASKER, daughter of Rabbi M. L. LASKER, and Joseph ALTMAN of Pine Bluff, Ark., chose that hour for the beginning of their married life and incidentally they formulated a set of New Year's resolutions which are designed to make their life a perpetual joy. The agreement of the young couple never may be set aside by either on the ground of failure of consideration, as the New Year's obligations they assumed in addition to the marriage contract are based on mutual promises. The bride resolves: I will never nag my husband. I shall try to make myself useful to him in every way. I shall never meddle in his business affairs. The husband resolves: I shall not talk to my wife when I am angry. She shall have her own bank account. She shall run the house; I my business. I shall not concern myself with her political beliefs. ====================================================== (I have no connection with this family but I'd appreciate knowing if you found this posting helpful.) johnobrien@kc.rr.com ======================================================
