When arraigned Gardiner told a somewhat

that he was standing In the Grand Central Sta

having seen him before. concluded that must

continued the conversation. After few min

young man suggested that as we had ample time
before the train left we go and have cocktail.

Marriage Customs and Episodes Be saw ..
the foruba Country.

Jean Hess, u French African traveller. gives
In Lc Figaro of recent date an unaccustomed
view of the savage negress. He pictures her as
having beauty of her own befitting the climate
and vegetation of tropical Africa. That. how
ever, may be matter OF taste, and perhaps
most writers would find It hard TO discover,
with NJ. Hess, in the naked negress a Living
bronze, OF unimpeachable lines" u creature
whose pride and dignity suggest what ancient
poets tell of Athenian priestesses and Roman
empresses."
Matter OF fact and not OF taste, however. Is to
be found in the account VI. Hess gives OF love
and marriage among some of the savage African
tribes. In the country OF the Yoruba. extending
from the Gulf OF Benin TO the Niger. VI. Hess
saw young negro who, after having sacrificed
pigeon upon the edge OF n stream, threw its
plumage upon the water and chanted prayer
to Imoya, protector OF lovers. ImOya Is IA white
lie has power to inspire virgins with love of the
young men that impore his aid. Prayer is
made to lmoya In secret place, with the sacrifice
of honey cakes and white doves. Here is "A love
chant that Il sung to lmoya;
There is In the house Of the chief beautiful
virgin Rere by name. the loveiest OF all. She
has large hips as those OF q heifer: she has arms
as strong as warriors; she has eyes as sweet
than those OF The birds; her dancing is iiglt and

give me beautiful children. But she is proud

her TO my house. ImOya, give her 10 :"
The girls also have their chants. fetiches, and
ceremonies to obtain husbands. In a village of
loruba VI. Hess saw group of young negresses
performing these rites about a great baObab
tree. They carried jars OF oil. and sang. moving
slowly, with naked bOsoms, with measured
cadence and harmonious balancing. As they
danced they Affixed white bits OF cloth to the
tree. The observer saw nothing grOtesque or
laughable In the scene.
NJ. Hess says that the savage ncgress has her
cOquetres. and asserts that she submits 10 pain
full tattOOing that she NAV seem more beautiful
to men. The marriage Of a rich man Of the
Egbas TO the daughter Of a chief was a notable
ceremony. The maiden's consent having been
obtained. the future husband paid her father
the agreed price. As the newly married couple
jOurneyed homeward people along the way laid
down branches and flowers saying:
THE genii give thee u beautiful spouse, for
get not that she Is more precious than all thy
riches. The virgin whom thou takest was the
charm Of the house, the charm OF the city:
Thou desired her When thou hast given us all
thy treasures thou shalt not have paid enough"

usually back OF grocery stores. In 1857 the
number OF such licensed places was 1,O9s; in
1893 IL reached ,4Os. This year the rate OF
