THE BRIDEGROOMs GUESTS.
There was no sign of breaking up downstairs,
where the bridegroom entertained his friends For
their accommodation eighty feet of the street
had been closed in with rugs and hangngs which
covered the ground AMI the walls Of the houses
on either side and were swung the street
ends and drawn over the top for a canopy THIS
enormous room was lighted by twenty-one great
crystal chandeliers hanging from temporary beams
and there were near.y two hundred side lights IN
addition. About a dozen musicians played IA better
class of Instruments than those used in the harem.
and the crowd OF men who chatted over cigarettes
and the inevitable coffee took 10 chairs much more
generany than did the women. The bridegroom
was middle-aged Egyptian. not il-favored. and
said to be very wealthy.
And the marriage ceremony? The formal con-
veyance of the bride her husbands house on the
second day of the feast answers that purpose The
custom OF centuries requires that she be borne In
a palanqun between gayly decorated camels. but
in Cairo the more prosaic carriage gains ground.
After entering her husbands home the white robes
Of the girl are exchanged Tor the piasK paise

a new wife may cost easily small fortune.
