"With all my worldly things I thee endow" means something in Albania. When an Albanian girl, no matter how poor, gets married, she brings with her a "hope chest", containing everything she owns. Here is shown a "hope chest" being carried to the bride's new home on a pack horse led by the "ushers" at the wedding. It's a most gorgeous affair of magenta and green and blue and yellow. And nowadays it's safe to assume that it contains some second hand clothing from America, distributed in Albania by the A.R.C
