= In Morocco marriage is preced-
ed by seven days feast accompanied
with almost incessant music. And the
bride certainly cannot lead happy
life. On one Of the nights she may
not go to rest, but must lie on the
floor, wrapped up in blanket, while
the guests "keep it up, talking, jok-
ing and laughing, and do not go home
till morning. But the actual wedding
day is quite as tiresome. She is con
view" and must sit on bed with her
eyes shut for some hours, while all
her neighbors come to have a good
stare at her fncry, to express their
good wishes, and to make small
wedding present.
