A ZULU BRIDEGROOM.

The daughter of Zulu in comforta-
BILE circumstances does not leave her
fathers kraal without much pOhp and
many queer rites, which doubtless are
held by her people in high estimation.
It may be noted, too, that the marriage
customs of these dusky Africans are
subject to innumerable variations. each
tribe having its own pecularities. Hair,
dressing, bv the way, is an important
feature both to The bride and bride
groom, and the attention paid to the
couture of the pair would shame the
performances of West End hair-dresser
who arranges brides locks and fastens
the orange blossom chaplet. A cone
shaped erection, for instance, is the law
full cCiffure of Zulu wife, and this can.
not be legally worn till the marriage
rites are duly completed. SaYe for the
all-impOrtant cone, the head of Zulu
bride is closely shaved, and assegai be-
ing used for the purpose; whilst, as soon
as youth is of manageable age, his
head is shorn to leave a ring round his
scalp, and then literally besmeared with
fat aud ochre, without which ungents
no Zulu would feel fittipgly decorated
for his bride. When the bridegroom
elect has been shorn of all his hair save
the wool on the crown, which is trained
in circular shape and some four inches
in diameter, ring Is sewn to this, of
gum and cha coal; in this the Zulu
thrusts long snuff spoons, needles ana
small utility articles, and is very proud
of his ring, which is the badge of man
