A Zulu bridegroom.
From Cassell,s Magazine.


The daughter of Zulu in comfortable
circumstances does not leav her fathers
kraal without much pomp and many queer
rites which doubtless are held by her peo-
pie in high estimation. 1t may be noted,
too, that the marriage customs of these
dusky Africans are subject to innumerable
variations, each tribe having its own pc
culiarities. Hair-dressing, by the way, is
an important feature both to the bride and
bridegroom, and the attention paid to the
coiffure of the pair would shame the per-
Torrance of West End hair-dresser who
arranges a BRIDES locks and fastens the
orange blossom chaplet. A cone-shaped
erection, for instance, is the lawful Golf
fure of a Zulu wife, and this cannot be
legally worn till the marriage rites are
duly competed. Save for the all-mport-
ant cone, the head of a Zulu bride is closely
shaved. and assegai being used for the
purpose; whilst, as soon as a youth Is Of
a marriageable age, his head is shorn to
leave a ring round the scalp, and then lib
orally besmeared with fat and ochrs,
without which unguents no Zulu would
feel fittlngly decorated for his bride.
When the bridegroom lect has been shorn
of all his hair save the wool on the crown
which is trained in a circular shape and
some four inches In diameter, a ring is
sewn 10 this, of gum and charcoal; in this
the Zulu thrusts long snuff spoons, nee
dies, and small utility articles, and Is very
proud of his ring, which is the badge Of
manhood.
