Some Strange Marriage Customs.

porarily-that is, if they are of the ordi-
nary people. If they were in possession
OF large estates, their remains are Gre
mated. The ashes are gathered togeth-
er and placed in a small teak wood
chest, after which they are buried for a
time. The temporary graves are fenced
in with cacti, and durable twigs are
placed on them. so their sight will not
be forgotten, and its tenant left undis-
turbed on the great Karen festival of
up digging and reburial and universal
wedding. These feasts are as movable
and uncertain of date as they are seri-
Gus and obligatory. The length of the
interim depends upon the number of
manageable girls and marrying men
there are in the neighborhood or village
at the time. of the death. 1t has been
known that as many as five years have
passed before one of the strange feasts
have taken place. When there are
enough girls and marrying men, and
not before. the day is appointed by the
chiefs for the great funeral wedding
day. This is the most important of all
the ceremonies of these people, and
great preparations are made for it. A
large open space is selected, and a high
platform made of bamboo sticks is con-
structed. 1t is surrounded with pillars
of bamboo and cocoanut palms. These
are decorated with fiendish looking
charms, flags, rags, flowers and me-
mentos.
When the day arrives for the great

worlds goods and a believer in keeping
what he has under one roof. It is GUS
tomary for the brides parents, when
wedding IS to take place, to provide
both her and her husband with house
hold supplies He is also obliged to give
literally of his mats, rugs and pigs to
the chiefs and head tribesmen who at
tend the ceremony. In many cases, and
especially if the young man lives in an
adjoining village, he goes to the house
of the girl of his choice, and if she is
willing they elope. Sometimes he steals
his bride. and often with the consent of
her parents, for in an event of that kind
he keeps possession of all but his
daughter and in most cases is willing 20
stand that loss so long as nothing else
goes with the bargain.
While some of these are strange, they
DO not compare with the wooing and
weddings of the Karens. Theirs is the
strangest of all, for the wedding cere-
mony is also part of an obsequy. The
Karens live in the hills of Burma and
on the borders of China and are one of
the strangest races of people in the
world. Their courtships are pursued at
funerals, and their lovemaking, be-
trothals and obsequies are all dealt with
together.
Their mode Of burial is strange. When
] 4 Karen dies, he or she is inferred tenn

their own and sometimes with the jew
els of their kinswomen. Karen wo-
man would rather give up her life than
her gems.
Before the obsequies begin the court
ships are PERFORMED, and the mated low
ers withdraw en- nlasse to be immedi-
ately married. The wooing men begin
their part of the ceremonies by singing
their proposals. The wooed maidens
sing in response their acceptances or re-
sections. Proposals, acceptances or re-
jections are one and all sung in high
toned minor key. They are attentively
listened to and often commented upon
by the spectators.
After this has been concluded the
would be bridegroom sings in turn a
solo TO his loved one. The spectators
applaud and criticise the youth who
sings, but none seems TO enjoy this
unique exhibition more than does the
maiden to whom he is singing. Often
the songs are borrowed from some OF
the masterpieces of the Burmese
drama, most of which the Karens know
well and have translated into their own
tongue.
If nothing else, the Karens are dra-
matte, and shy one is hard to find.
While singing their love songs the men
contrive TO break them with sobs and
bedew them with tears. They do not

feast, every man, woman and child from
the surrounding country attends. Many
of the dead are brought from their rest
ing places to be reburied in some other
part, never to be disturbed again, while
some are only to have their first inter
ment.
When everything is in readiness, the
corpses are brought upon the platform
and laid on mats of fern fronds and
white linen, which are placed in the
center of the stage. The mourners are
the first to go on the platform. They
take their places at the north of it,
while the maidens who wish to be mar
ried go to the east. and the men who are
to be married take up position on the
west. The disinterested spectators go
to the southern end of the platform,
and after they have settled down the
ceremonies begin
The maidens present a dazzling ap-
pearance. They are dressed in their

a complacent wooer. To each of the
bachelors songs the maiden wcoed an

ally in the affirmative, for the lover is
very apt to find out where he stands in

herself. Sometimes she says her lover
