that night. 1t grew awfully late, and mn

| Miss Annie Jones, says the London Daily
| Mail the bearded lady at Barnum e. Bal
ley's, only enjoys her monopoly of that
| department of the freak business by the
| courtesy of many ladies who could offer
| some sort of rivalry to her, although per.
haps not to the same degree.
| For the cases of supeTfluous hair in the
| weaker sex run into many thousands.
! From Mrs. BALM, who relieves the dis
tress of the ladies so embarrassed, a Daily
| Mail reporter yesterday obtained some
startling statistics.
| In the course of my experience stretch
| ing over the last seven years. said Mrs.
| Balm, II have met with some 10000 cases.
! During the past year / gave no fewer
| than 1880 sittings for electrolysis, remov-
/ ing at each sitting from forty to fifty
| hairs; and during the year 1896 1900 sit
| tngs so l am convinced the trouble is
| distinctly increasing.
| II have had cases in which I removed
/ as many as 1900 hairs from one lady's
| face. One lady 1 have cured. and who
| has now gone abroad to enjoy herself, lad
| not for five years previously seen even
| any member of her own family, and sac
| could never so into the street without be-
| ing jeered at. Another lady, in the high
! est society in London, had to take two

| hairs with a pair of tweezers. and they
grew so quickly that II she were going cut
in the evening she had to withdraw OH
| ers."
Marriage in primitive times was no fam
| lily or personal arrangement. but an in
| sttution of the community If we realize
| this, many hitherto unexplained customs
| connected with II become at once of sig
| niicance. The members of primitive
| communities were bound together by com
| mon interests and duties; every member of
a clan was bound to consider the right of
| his fellow. and to assist him, even to his
| own hurt. Aid and succor were indispen-
| sable for communal necessities, therefore
the marriage of a son or a daughter in
| every small commonwealth was a matter
for public consideration. The first step
that led to matrimOny in those remote
times was to capture a wife or to pur-
chase a wife. In this the whole tribe as
sisted and then Joined as of right i'll the
festivities that gradually grew round the
marriage ceremony. In short, in those
days the individual was ignored, and had
no existence save as one of group. Sure
ly we may consider that this led 10 the ne
cessity for the lord of the manor's sane
ton to his tenants marriage in feudal
times, the lords of the manor in the
middle ages having appropriated to them
selves many of the rights of the tribal
authorities of primitive times. In feudal
times no girl could be married to any one
out of the manor without the good will
of the lord of the soil, and an heuess
could not be married at all without his
consent. In some instances fines had to
be paid by the brides father or whoever
stood to her in the place of a father, fon
leave to give her in marriage to a stran-
ger.
The costumes at recent smart wec-
ding, says the New York Commercial
! Advertiser, eclipsed the bride both In
/, beauty and in the attention they attracted
. and in spite of the fact that the church
