A romsnce that began fourteen years ago, when they were children, culminated last night in the wedding of Irving Friedman of No. 100 Canal street and Mis Sarah Rosen berg of No. 62 Market' street. Twice in that period Friedman had rescued her from death. One of the guests at the wedding was the bridegroom's fa ther. They had not seen each other for twenty je trs until yesterday. ,. rv-w, The bride is twenty -one years old and her . husband is about twenty-four. Fourteen years ' ago Friedman lived in Ludlow street, and the boy an j girt at tended the same school. . One morning Irving waitol for his little chum, and when she itfd not ap pear he went into the bouse to inquire The girl's mother told him that Sarah had diphtheria and probably would be ill a long time, lie was so absentminl ed in school that his teacher reprimand ed him the next day he played "hook ey." About 2 o'clock in the afternoon the fire apparatus went by and turned into his street. He followed and found the fire was in the Rosenberg home. : ' ' Most of the tenants had fled to the street, but little Sarah waa not with them- The boy darted past the firemen into the smoke filled builiing and up the stairs. He found the girl all b'it overcome with smoko. Taking her in his arms, he carried his little playmate to the street, where be fell exhausted. He was shockingly burned and his face still bears the scars. The Rosenbergs moved to another part of the city and the children were separated. One morning a year ago last summer young Friedman was going in bathing at Rockaway Beach, when be heard a scream. Out beyond the life lines was a girl struggling frantically. She had been seized with cramp. Young Friedman jumped into the surf and after a struggle rescued ber. It was not until he had- escorted the young woman to her home, that Fried man learned he had again saved the life of his boyhood sweetheart. Sarah Rosenberg did not recognize him.ejther, but Mrs. Rosenberg did and she over whelmed him with gratitude. . .a Young Friedman and Miss Rosenberg were married by Robbi Rabinowitt In the synagogue at No 22 Forsyth s reet Later there was a reception in Clinton Hall. .
