work In precious metals and the
sultans OF the past had goldsmiths
and carvers of silver, ivory and wood.

always been noted.

But before go further let me tell
you something about the Malays as
they live here in their own home on
| the tip end of Asia. They are the first

the race which has overrun the Dutch
East Indies. There are something like
twenty-five millions of them in Java, a
!. large number in Borneo, and millions
in the Philippine islands. The natives
here are better looking than the Mo-
ros. but they have the same brown skin
II the same sturdy form and staggering

made and no means bad looking.

in a baglike skirt known as the sa-
rong, above which is Jacket which
falls to their hips. The sarong reaches
from the waist to the calf; it is gay

Is open at both top and bottom, and
is of the same width throughout. When
the Malay puts on his clothes he steps
into his bag. raises its top to his waist
and by a twist OF the wrist fastens
1t there in a knot. Under the bag he
may wear calico drawers, or-if poor he
may be naked. The rich wear panta-

His Nose For News.

A cub reporter on Pennsylva-
MIA paper was sent out by the city
editor to get story on the mar
riage of a young society girl and a
man well known in the city.
The "cub" was gone about an
hour and then returned and went
aimlessly over to his desk, by which
he sat down. Shortly afterward the
city editor noticed his presence and
his evident idleness.
'Here, kid" shouted the supe-
rior. "Why aren't you at work on
that wedding?"
"Nothin' doing" replied the boy.
Nothing doing! What do you
mean? Didn't the wedding take
place ?"
''Nope. The bridegroom never
showed up, so there amt nothin' to

any regard to the benefit Of his be-
ing once given me. Let us there

matrimonial union. You can go 70.
church before or after the little bit
of civic business, as you choose,
but nothing that priest or minister
can do for you, however soothing to
your feelings or your conseience,
can give any recognized binding to
your wedding vows as far as the Law
of this country goes. In most ef
the ancient and wonderfully inter
esting town halls of Belgium there
is "salle des marriages" a spa
cious chamber specially reserved for
nuptial ceremonies. At Antwerp
the town hall is more to be admired
for its interior than for its exterior.
The facade is in the renaissance
style by Cornelis de Vriendt and
dates from 1881.
The Antwerp town hall occupies
the whole of the west side Of the
square of old guild houses and in
its center rises to a height of 1873
feet. A statue of the Virgin Mary
is in a niche in the center of the top
story.
Half a dozen wedding parties
await the advent of the deputy
mayor each morning. The process
sion of brides and their friends
leads into the marriage chamber,
the walls of which are appropriate
ly covered with five frescoes.
The several wedding parties ap-
proach the mayors table in turn.
the unmarried parties remaining
seated in the body of the hall,
watching their predecessors. The
proceedings are very brief. The
deputy mayor examines a few, pa
pers put forward by the father or
other representative of the bride,
asks one or two low voiced ques-
tions, smiles at the bride, mods to
the groom, signs a certificate and
informs them that they are man
and wife. Then he touches but
ton on his desk, and from an ada
cent apartment an organ sounds a
few bars of a wedding march, dur
ing which the married pair and
company file out of the chamber,
and the deputy mayor murmurs the
French equivalent of "next" to one
of the two little pages attending
hirn-handsome youngsters In court
dress. Another wedding party
stands before a desk; repetition
of the short proceedings; once
more the tap on the button and the
wedding march on the organ. Out
they go, blushing and smiling, and
No. 3 marriage begins. In less
than half an hour the six marriages
had been made. Nothing more and
nothing less happens, no matter
what the rank or position of the
contracting parties may be, except
that the mayors pages can be en-
ployed to carry the brides train if
she happens to be wearing one
