In Andalusin. Spanish province. n
still more singular custom has lately
been observed. When young man
there aspires to the hnnd OF young
lady he calls for three successive days
nj hor parents house Mt tho same
hour The third day he always brings
n cane. and goes away. leaving II be-
hind. apparently forgetting it
II his suit is regarded with favor.
tho young girl keeps tho cane and
gives it.back 10 him when ho calls the
next day.
This makes him her alilanccd hus.

But H. on tho contrary. tho young
