An "Up-SittinS' from Dusk to Dawn
ProcIaims the Engagement.

shS
The Boer girl of the country districts Of
the South African republic sis able TO go to
tow only once or twice a year, and then
it is to attend the NaChtmaal, or com
munion, which is the chief festival of these
deeply religious people," writes Howard c.
Hillegas in the Ladies' Home Journal.
The journey to the town is made with OK
teams and may require a weeks or a
months time, but 1t is always an epoch in
a Boer girls life, especially If she is about
16. when she is supposed to have attained
the matrimonial age. Then some tall, ro-
bust Boer youth, whom she has met at
former Nachtmaals, may summon enough
courage to ask her whether he may call at
her home and have an 'up-sitting,' which is
a sort Of ultimatum before an ultimatum.
If she consent the young Boer will shortly
aftcrward ride on horseback many miles
across the plain to the girls home, and will
provo that he is worthy Of her love by sit
ting-up' and talking with her from shutdown
until break Of day. For two young Beers
to arrive at this period of courtship Is
equivalent to announcing the engagement,
and then the prospective bride begins prepa-
ration for the wedding. "
"A wedding is always an event of almost
national importance and Is really a mcst
picturesque The friends and rela-
tiycs may arrive a day or two ahead of time,
according to the distance to be travelled, and
the Boer homestead becomes a most ami
mated scene. Scores of OK teams are scat
tered about the surrounding plain; negro
servants are busting around; guns are fired
promiscuously whenever more guests arrive;
dancing, Teasing and coffee-drlnking are
carried on in the cottage and everywh re
around it; lmpromptu shooting matches
and horse races are decided and joy is I'M
confined. After the ceremony and after all
the guests have kissed the bride and bride
groom the wedding feast is eaten. and then
the guests spend the night in dancing and
playing games. II would be a breach Of
etiquette for any OF the guests to depart be-
fore the dawn, and, indeed, the fld'er's
music and the sound made by the dancing
feet are often heard until noon Of the fol-
lowing day. The wedding tour consists Of a
journey to the cottage and farm which the
husband has secured from his father and
which adjoins the old homestead"

and the faithful coachman .ut his horses

plunge OF the horses a huge dinner bell be-
gan to clane. The people on the street
gave @ shout, people in houses ran to their
front doors and windows. One glance at
tho rihbou-bcdecked carriage told the story.
Tho bell was securely tied under the We
