A CURIOUS FRENCH CUSTOM.
The Basfanel and the Part He Plays In
Finistcre Weddings.

Inc Basfanel ana the Fart He Plays In
Finistere Weddings.
Marriage customs in Finistere have
remained among the peasants very much
what they were centuries ago, and their
old fashioned ceremoniousness is not
their least interesting popularity. Tho
Breton peasant of today has an almost
religious respect for these notions of po-
lite manners which have come down to
him from his forefathers of the middle
ages, who, as far as they dared, imitat-
ed the etiquette of their princes or near
er feudal lords The basfanel, who, with
stately bows and old fashioned phrases,
performs the delicate Office of asking
fer girl in marriage on behalf of the
suitor, is really acting the part of a
matrimonial ambassador. But the bas-
fanel's functions do not end here.
When the bride has been undressed
and put to bed by her maids, all the
wedding party reassemble in the nup.
tial chamber, which is more often than
not the kitchen and general room Then
the basfanel steps forward, and on be-
half of the whole company he addresses
the final Fluctuations to the young cou-
pie.
This courtly parsonage is almost in
variably tailor. His habit of going
from house to house in the exercise Of
his caliinS-the rural tailor seldom
works at home-enables him to become
the best informed man concerning the
private affairs of all the families in his
district. He is great favorite of the
women, because he is to them an un-
failing fountain of local gossip and
scandal. Their liking for him causes the
men to despise him, but they neverthe-
less have recourse to his services as an
intermediary whenever the need arises.
Such is the basfanel. name more sug-
gestive to the Breton Of ridicule than
