courtship IN Arabia.

An Arab loves as none but an Arab
can love, but he is also nightly excita-
BILE and easily won. An Arab sees girl
bearing water or brushwood, and in a
moment, almost at glance, is as madly
in love as if he had passed years Of court
ship. He thinks of nothing else. cares
and dreams Of nothing else but the girl
he loves, and not infrequently, if he is
disappointed in his affections, he pines
and dies.
In order to commence his suit he sends
for a member of the girls tribe who has
access to the harem. and first insur-
ing his secrecy by q solemn oath, con-
fesses his love and entreats his confidant
to arrange an interview
The confdant goes to the girl, gives
her flower or blade of grass and says
Z Swear by him that made this flower
and us also that you win not reveal to
any one that which ] ain about to unfold
to you.
If the girl will not accept the proposal
she will not take the oath, but, neverthe-
less, keeps the matter perfectly secret
from all If she is favorably disposed to
the match she answers II swear by
him who made the flower you hold and
us, and the place and time of meeting
are settled.
These oaths are never broken. and it is
not long before the ardent lover becomes
the happy husband.
