A STRONG LETTER.
Editor of Providence News:--I should
say that the question, ''Is 1t proper for a
young lady to go on an outing with a
young man without chap
eron," needs a very careful answer,
so much depends on the character of both
young lady and young man, the place and
time and moral surroundings of the out
ing. II the two young people are such
as to be trusted alone I'm the house why
not out OF doors?If IL is proper for them
TO he engaged they might certainly be
trusted out of sight. generally speaking
III they come home in good hours none
need be anxious about them. To engaged
parties a chaperon might be de trop In
deed Much depends upon the moral tone
OF "A community. In England and Euro
pean society the cnaperonage Is carried so
far that l think 1t rather tends to pro-

coRsIcAN WEDDING CUSTOMS.
Many Interesting Nuptial Practices
Have Fallen Into Disusc.
(From Household Word


Many OF the old.t customs OF this
charming island have fallen into disuse ex-
! cept in mountain districts and in villages
remote from the sea. One OF the most in
| teresting among them is the TTavata, .
| kind OF barrier which stops the brides
procession as she is being conducted to her
husbands village. The whole Of her at
tendants must succeed in passing this bar
rier without touching it, or she must pay
| tribute.
| Early in the morning Of the wedding day
a crowd Of relatives and friends assemble
in the market place OF the brides village;
the youths armed. their guns loaded, pis-
tolls charged, and belts well furnished with
ammunition. They arrive by all the noun
| tain paths, most OF them on horseback,
and all dressed in their Sunday best, The
bridegroom Is led forward by his father. he
enters the village. receives his bride. and
| leads her of; but at the end of the village
there is a triumphal arch, and under it the
passage is INSTRUCTED by belt Of ribbons
stretched from one side to the other. When
the bride reaches the arch one of the ell
ders Of the village stands on the other side
Of the ribbon barrier and delivers a speech.
why do you leave USE he says TO the
bride. Were you not happy with us? Had
you not your father to protect you, your
mother to love you. your brothers TO defend
you. fertile fields in which to feed your
flocks as well as a healthy habitation in
the winter season. and a holy church for
the feast days? Again, young woman, why
will you leave us!'
The bride, leaning on the barrier. insists,
and gives her reasons; then places small
purse in the orators hand. This contains
an offering for the church and for the
necessities OF the village.
The ribbon is then detached, the bride
passes and at the same time all the young
people OF the wedding party start off,
squirting on their horses in the effort to be
the first to reach the bridegroom's village.
In which will be the residence Of the bridal
pair The first to arrive has the right TO
take the keys of the house. present them
to the bride, and do the honors Of the we'd
ding feast.
During this time the procession slowly
advances. At the entrance to the village
is another arch and another barrier. An
other orator also appears. He first of all
addresses the armed youths, asks who
they are and whence they came, whether
as friends or enemies, and demands the
usual tribute. One of them answers that
they came as friends, and as proof OF
their friendship escort a bride, whose
beauty will delight the village. and whose
affection will gladden. the heart and home
of one of the bravest among them. The
orator then turns to the bride and de-
mands what she brings to the village, in
whose interests she intends to partake,
and what is the family whose tenderness
she expects TO share.
The bride responds. not without emotion:
speaks OF her affection. of her duties, OF
the friends she has, and Of those she hopes
to have, and joins the orator in the wish
that her coming may be a blessing to her,
