ODD CUSTOMS OF GYPslEs
Marriage Ceremony Closed by Bride

Broom-Wed at Early Age.

London-There are traditions Of the
marriage ceremony among certain
gypsies in England consisting simply
Of jumping over broom or besom'
and it is only within the last nfty
years that that custom has been ex-
tinct in Wales.
The bosom was held by the father
of the bridegroom or bride, and first
the young man jumped over 1t, and
then the young woman, whereupon the
official would make some such remark
as, "Now you are married"
Gypsies invariably marry at an ear
" age, and as the parents are loath
to lose their daughters, the girl ire
quently runs away with the young man
of her choice. In numbers OF cases
there is no marriage ceremony. Only
people who have lost their character

60 into church to be married, said
one of the Hearnes.
Incidentally he mentioned that Ger
man gypsies like to have their chill
dren baptized as often as possible. and
the practice of successive baptism is
not unknown in England.
In both England and Germany the
food of gypsy must on no account
be touched by woman's dress. On
one occasion, said Mr.. Thompson, he
was having tea with a family when q
boy of 16 hurled back piece of bread
at his mother because she had allowed
it to touch her dress while she was
cutting it. She remarked he was right
not to eat it and she gave 1t to the
dog.
The gypsy held very strong views
on the value Of chastity. AS recently
as 1875 an old Suffolk gypsy said the
ancient punishment for immortality
was burial alive, and he described a
certain spot where, as d boy, he saw a
girl undergo this punishment.
The corpse of gypsy is usually car
ried to the grave by the mourners
themselves, and the day after the fu-
neral everything which had belonged
to the dead, except money, is destroy
ed. Three vans had been burned dur
ing the last year. The harness and
everything was placed in the van,
soaked with paraffin and set on fire,
and the ashes and the parts that could
not be burned were buried, or, prefer.
ably, thrown into river or the sea.
Crockery was broken and the frag.
ments dropped from a ferry into the
Mersey; in another case the unburn.
ed portions of gypsy's belongings
were carried miles in order to be
dropped into the Tyne. Only three
months ago, on the death Of baby a
few months old, the family burned
practically a new wagon which had
cost $50.
The custom Of destroying everything
was due to the gypsies' fear that un-
Tess this were done the ghost of the
dead person would return and haunt
It.

er" is the most sacred oath gypsy
