M.trimony In Gilbert I.l.nd..


 Women of the Gilbert islands being merely regarded as cattle or any other property, writes Arthur Inkersley In The Overland Monthly, the matrimonl- al knot is easily tied and just as easily united. If a man fancies girl. he selzes her by the hair of the head, wherever she may be, despite her pro- testations. and drags her away to his home. Her resistance is not often seri- ous, the pretense of refusal being due to the coquettishness inherent In the sex. When the couple reach the house of the groom, wedding feast Is fur nished forthwith, to which all the im- mediate friends of the bride and bride groom are invited. But an acceptance of the invitation implies the contribu- ton of some viands to the entertain ment. Matrimony Is attended by no further ceremony than this. When a husband grows weary of his wife, he simply orders her to leave him, and If she does not he turns her out of doors.
