Marriage in Burmah.

Marriage has no religion element in Bur.
nah. There is no marriage ceremony. Just
as two men go into partnership in business,
so man and woman may enter into marriage
state without undergoing any form. Coupled
with this very secular, nonchalant view of
marriage is the fact that facilities for divorce
are very great. AS marriage is merely part
nership, so divorce is dissolution of that
partnership and may be obtained on demand
by either of the parties from the elders Of the
village. In Burmah, however, as elsewhere,
we find that that priori dangers are largely
neutralized by practical good sense, the fear
of outraging public opinion furnishes power
full motive in propriety of life. The salvation
of the Burmese woman lies in the fact that
her home life is always the centre of her ex.
istance. She recognizes that there are certain
restrictions on a woman's actions which must
be observed as long as men are men and
women are women.

While Uncle Ebby was eating, Ethel
filed basket with lint and set 1t on
the chimney shelf.
said Ethel. when you are sick in bed
you mustn't call Jake or 'Tildy or any
of your grandchildren. I'm to do the
nursing on this plantation. and want
to call Jake and make him tie string
TO your bedpost. and the other end to
my bedpost. SO that you can ring bell
right over my head when you are sick.
You understand
Jake! Jakew called Ethel. Jake
came when called, and after many
trials arranged an unsightly contriv-
ance, SO that the pulling of the string
did ring bell just over Ethel's bed.
Her brother Tom ridiculed 1t, but
mamma said Sisters of Mercy must be
patient under ridicule.
Every night Ethel hung her cloak
near her bedside. ready to rush out
at the sound of the bell. One night
Tom played practical joke by ring
ing the bell, but papa's sharp repri-
mand prevented repetition Of his
mischief.
Suddenly one night the bell did ring,
long and loud. Ethel jumped out of
bed and in a few minutes stood at
Uncle Ebby's bedside. The moonlight
fell on the black face and white head.
Shaking his arm with all her might,
she called out. "Uncie Ebby. wake up!"
The old man opened his eyes and
sat up In bed. nt
Didn't you ring the bell? What Is
the matter?"
"Nuthin' tall" said Uncle Ebby. at
last recognizing the little sister.
Suddenly Ethel turned and perceived
cabin.
What's that, Uncle Ebby? Look!
Look"
"Sump'n a-fiah. sho'!'
And SO II was. Uncle Ebby screamed
for help. Black and white rushed to
the rescue. Jake and the other men
led the cattle out Of danger. and the
mystery OF the bell was solved when
old Brindle's horns were seen strug-
Cling with the string. which. In order
to reach up to Ethel's chamber, had
been passed through the COW shed. The
smoke had driven her to the open door.
and in making her way she had caught
her horns in the string. Fortunately
nothing was burned except the corner
Of the shed.
Next morning at breakfast Tom,
who had been very brave In putting
out the fire, said. well. Ethel. which
is the Sister Of Mercy. you or old Brin-

The old habit of gift-giving at Easter
is still alive and 1t is the correct thing
that such gifts should be made by the
hands Of the donor Some OF these are
pretty and comparatively inexpen-l
sive. s' &
BOOK and magazine covers made Of
water color paper or art linen are
among the pretty and useful gifts. A
cover for dictionary will serve as a
model. 1t was made of white water
color paper of a. light grade and used
on peper covered edition that was
about five inches wide by six long. The
paper was first fitted to the covers Of
the dictionary and folded and creased
So that the surface to be decorated was
plainly indicated. On one side was
painted full cluster of forget-me-
nots. On the other was smaller
spray, which occupied two-thirds OF
the space; the remaining third-just
in front of the back-was tinted del
lcate gray, on which, In gilt, in fancy
lettering, was the word Dictionary"
Then the cover was again folded over
the volume and this time secured
with mucilage or photographers paste.
Violets or any other blossom pre-
ferred could be used in place Of the
forget-me-nots as a decoration. When
linen Is used in making book or maga-
zine covers embroidery is better, more
satisfactory condition than painting.
Book marks are favorite Easter gifts
and generally hand painted on water
color paper, celluloid or ribbon. A
pretty one of the first material is COM
posed of two strips of the paper cut
exactly a1ike-about an inch and three
quarters wide and five long. On the
center of the under one Is dainty lit
tie wash drawing; in the center of the
upper one is cut an oblong opening to
ut the drawing. and on the uncut sur
face Is delicately painted bit OF red
and yellow foliage. such as appears in
early spring on some varieties of trees
and shrubs. From between the ends
OF the pasted strips extend bits of
fringed ribbon in either of the Easter
colors-white, yellow or lavender.
