than their Abyssinian sisters. On the
occasion of her marriage an Abys-
sinian bride has to change her skin.
From ebony she has to become cafe

pectant bride is shut up in room for
three months. She is covered with

which they produce destroy the origi-
nal skin, and in it's place comes the
new skin. soft and clear as baby's.
