prays ferventy. The Prophet uscdato
eat at the haren with his wives, but ne
seldom does so now. In the inoruing,
on rising, each woman puts her room. in :
order, and if she has children dresses
them for breakfast. After prayersnthey
all go to breakfast, the ladies witlr chill,
dren sitting at little family tables, and
those without children atthc common
table. The same fare is given tosall, and
the bill of fare is by no means poof
one. Brigham, from time 10 time, desig-
mates some of his wives to take charge
OF the cooking, and they rcinaia On duty
until relieved. During thesday the lwo-.
men walk out, sew, sing, play the piano
in the parlor, or walk with tie chiklfen.
Most of them spin, make cloth and color
ht. They arc very proud Of their cloth
and embroidery. In the, evening all
hands go to the thcater, where every ono
of Brigham's wives has aireserrcd seat.
1t is said that Young Literally supplies
his wives with money, aaa on fine days
they drive cut and GO shopping. He,
employsa music teacher, French teacher,
and dancing master for the use sof his
household. Brigham women arc. well
dressed, but still they, have to work hard,
and he keeps up wholesome discipline
