Free Love

The New Orleans Item gave an account of a Bolshevik "marriage " in Mexico City:

". . . Pretty Senorita Maria Moreno and Juan Heredia stood up in meeting and solemnly swore to be faithful to each other as long as the system worked, or 'until such time as we agree to part.'

"That was the wedding ritual. No minister tied the knot, no justice of the peace earned a fee, no sermon was preached over the free-loving pair, and no license was obtained, except an authorization from the Mexican Federation of Labor to wed by the Bolshevik formula."
