and out into the street and lead ^urin-

The bridegroom was seated upon a
rug placed in the center of the court
lor him. While he was seated on this
rug. and it was as much as an hour,
he was instructed in his marital rights
and duties by the family guru.
On the ground, nearly la front of
Surindro, was a small pan of bright
red coals of sacred fire; and at his
side was the barb r, who was master
of certnonies and who from time to
time blew a trumpet
The family guru left the courtyard

both sprinkled with some of the
sacred water and the flowers were
thrown at them.
The bride, still on the plank, was
lifted and carried, first to the right
side of the room and then t> the left.
The sarrees of the bride and bride
groom were next tide together,
trade them husband and wife.
After the marriage knot Had thus
been tied the bride was placi d on her
feet, standing In front of her husband
with her back toward him. The at-
tendants placed in her hand a plate
upon whicn were some rice itnd some
plantain, while a wisp of ligh ed straw
was thrown at her feet. The bride
was then conducted to her husband’s
side; in the parting of hei hair at
the front some red powder was rub-
bed. This red powder may be worn
by wived only, never by aaids or
widows, and the chuddah, v hlch she
now donned for the first t.me, was
drawn over her face.

The four other women bore trays
loaded with d. Terent kinds of fruit.
The women marched around the bride-
groom seven times, the mother pour-;
ing the water gently out of the cbat- .
tee so that it formed a circle around i
Surindro. She then stepped aside and
the bride was brought in.
A number of symbolic Arrues had
been chalked upon a board On top
of these figures the bride was seated
and then carried into the room by the
barber and his assistants. Within
the circle which had been made by

six times. The board was then low-
ered from the shoulders that bore it
and the bride was placed 11 her hus-
band’s feet.
During this ceremony t le bride-
groom had never moved u muscle.
The barber and his assistants now-
lifted Anandi to the level of Surin-
dro’s face, underneath a large sheet
which had been stretched e ver their
heads. The bride’s mother and an-
other woman, near of kin, were on
either side of the bridal pair. Each
woman held a light close to the face
of the bride and bridegroom and the
sarree was removed from t ie bride s
face.
The sheets were then car "led away I
and the bridegroom walked into the
gods’ house. The barber ai d his as-

was placed in his palm. The two ■
hands were then bound together with |
wreaths of flowe.s, while in them the

JU foreigners it| India have the
W - privilege of witnessing a high
caste Hindu wedding and only
■ special circumstances enabled
the writer to Wi present at the
ceremonies described here.
Subhodra, the barber, had arranged
a marriage between Anandi, only
daughter of Dhola Buksh, a wealthy
member of the Kahairiya caste, and
Surindro Tagore of the same caste.
That is one function of barbers in
India Anandi was not quite ten.
Surindro was just eighteen. Anand-
had never seen her 'future husband.
.Nobody had ever thought of asking
the opinion of either of the most in-
terested pait'es as to the proposed
marriage.
The expenses of a Hindu wedding
comes upon the bribe’s father, and
they are so great that a family some-
ties is ruined or impoverished for
many years by the marriage of a
daughter. The next most costly af-
fair is the burial services. Should
the head of the family escape bank-
ruptcy when his daughter is married,
the eldest son is almost sure to be
ruined when he buries his father.
‘ C The woman barber, who is another
great institution in India, came every
day. For two weeks she bathed
Anandi frequently tn [perfumed water
Every day the girl’s hands and feet
got an application of henna. On the
evening of the wedding day Anandi
was bathed in rose water and her
hands and feet got a last application
of henna.

well balanced that everyone admires
them. Sometimes white predominates,
with only touches of black, and some-
times the design shows the reverse
treatment. In the black and white
crepe sailor pictured here there is
about an equal division of the colors.
AH white is worn for first mourn-
ing, exactly as black crepe is. A smart
example is shown here, with the body
of the hat and the trimming both
made of white crepe. It is character-
istic of mourning millinery that the
trimmings and ornaments are made of
crepe. The new modes show wings
and flowers simulated in this material.
A wreath of small lilies in white and
clusters of small roses in black were
sc strikingly beautiful that they com-
manded more than passing admiration.
They will not be forgotten.
White mourning has much to com-
mend it. It is cool and it is inconspic-

Black Tulle.
Black tulle is very much worn with
spring and new summer hats. It may
be put on as a ’ ruff’’ to stand upright
over brim and against crown, or it may
be put under the brim to lie against
I the hair anr* temples. A very pretty
idea is that of laying it on the hat to
be a go-between for the hat and the
trimming. If a white hat of satin the
trimming is apf to be tiny roses in
brilliant shades of red, yellow and
green on a green vine. Fruit and all
kinds of Impossible designs are thus
reproduced and dwarfed in satin.

In mourning millinery and mourning
gowns has resulted in the adoption of
white or white and black for summer
wear, instead of all black. There are
wonderful exampiss of this elegant
headwear to be seen more frequently
than for many seasons. It has an un-
deniable distinction. Added to this,
the new white crape <s very beautiful.
The all white crepe hat is to be seen,

bordered with crape.

To wear with the summer neglige
the shops are sho wing dainty slipper
fashioned of brocaded satin. These
j are rather expensive if you desire to
purchase them, but if you are clever'
at needlework they crd be duplicated i
at home for very much less.
First purchase a pair of soles the
required size and bind them with a
fancy silk braid of the predominating
color used in the brocade. When
choosing the brocade select a design
which will look we|l on the top of the
foot
From heavy muslin cut a piece of
material to form tae toe portion of the
slipper. This must fit smoothly to the
sole and be wide enough co comforta-
bly accommodate the foot.
Using this as a guide, cut two simi-
, lar pieces from the brocaded satin and
baste the two together. Outline the
design, with twited silk of the same
tone and improve the slipper top by
embroidering tiny Cowers here and
there. To the back of the muslin whip-
stitch a lining of white silk and bind
the top with braid to match the soles.
> Join the toe portion to the soles with
strong silk thread, whipstitching the
two together.
A pai of these slippers makes a
charming gift to rhe graduate or the
; bride-to-be.
They are quickly made and the re-
sult speaks for itself.
A case can be fashioned to contain
these slippers from brocaded satin of
: the same design. Make it to resemble
a large envelope and place the slippers
between the folds, fastening the flap
with a pearl butte n and a buttonhole.
Now that you have the suggestion
why net begin to make a pair of slip-
pers? You may have some odd scraps
of lovely brocaded satin to form the
nucleus. Why nol utilize them?
Among strictly iailored waists those
I mannish shirts with the soft turned-
i over collar and cuffs are popular. Usu-
j ally they are mad? of washable crepe
j de chine, heavy ch.na silk and mad-
I ras in white, and white with a colored
stripe. Buttons of colored glass are
I very effective when they match the
I stripe of the silk.
In addition to the mannish silk
waists that are worn with the strictly
tailored suit the business woman will
welcome those in challis, flannel and
I albatross. Many of these are made in
■ the usual mannish style, with the front
opening, and soft collar and cuffs, but
there are very attractive models, slight-
ly more elaborate and more feminine,
with bits of hand embroidery, and
fancy collar and cuffs of satin. As a
rule, flannel is used for the tailored
waists, and pretty challis and colored
albatross for the more elaborate mod-
els, but since all ol* them launder beau-
tifully the light tones need not be a
bar vO the usefulness of the blouse.
On dark-hued waists there is always
a touch of white at the neek, a frill
or a yoke. The ground of the Scotch

The experience of Motherhood is a try-

' inctly an epoch in their lives. Not ona
woman in a hundred is prepared or un-
derstands how to properly care for her-
self. Of course nearly every woman
nowadays has medical treatment at t uch
times, but many approach the expend
ence with an organism unfitted for the
trial of st ength, and when it is over
her system has received a shock from
which it is hard to recover. Following
right upon this comes the nervous strain
of caring for the child, and a distmcL
change in the mother results.
There is nothing more charming t han
a happy and healthy mother of child -en,
and indeed child-birth under the r ght
conditions need be no hazard to health or
tiesuty. The unexplainable thin;? ia
