A gentleman who has spent much
time down along" that may
be-told us about the habitans curious
wedding customs After the morning
marriage service in church, the bridal
party in caleche or cariole make. tour
of calls upon relatives and friends
through the day, and then again to
church for vespers. Before the even
ing dance at the brides new home comes
the supper.
When they rise from the table the
bride keeps her seat, and some one
asks with great dignity, why does ma
dame waite Is she so soon in bad
gracel" She replies, Somebody has
stolen my slipper; | can't walk. F" They
carry her. chair and all, into the mid
die of the room, while a loud knocking
announces a grotesque, ragged vender
of boots and shoes He kneels before
the slipperless bride and tries on a long
succession of old boots and shoes OF ey-
ery variety and size till at last he finds
her missing shoe. The groom redeems
it for a good price, which IS spent IN
treating the company. If the groom
is not watchful they steal her hat and
cloak, which he redeems in the same
way, and they have been known to
steal the bride, for whom he must pay
most literally.
The church forbids round dances, so
they content themselves with contra
dances. The event of the evening is a
Jig, in which a guest volunteers to out
dance the bride. If successful the vic
tor demands prize from the groom.
