THE NENzESE = TEIrlcQAn
Fashions in Pressing

Among the Arabs OF Upper Egypt
the youth who proposes to q girl must
submit to a whipping at the hands of
all her male relatives. and if he wishes
to be considered worth having. he must
receive the chastisement, which is
sometimes exceedingly severe. with an
expression of enjoyment.
Not infrequently it Is the maiden
herself who imposes the test. The
Sakalava girls of Madagascar make
their lovers stand a short distance
from a clover spear-thrOwer ana
catch between the arm and side
every spear thrown at them. II the
youth displays fear or fams to
catch the spear, he is ignominiouslv
rejected, but if there be no hinching
and the spears are caught he is at
once proclaimed an accepted lover"
Worse than this is the trial enforced
upon their suitors by the Dongo.owee
girls. When in doubt as to the respec-
tive merits Of two rivals. the young
lady fastens a sharply pointed kniwe to
each elbow; then seating herself be-
tween her lovers. she drives the blades
slowly into their thighs and the hero
who take the greatest length OF steel
without a murmur wins the bride.
