lW foreigners in India have the
privilege of witnessing a high
caste Hindu wedding and only
special circumstances enabled

S~sso WCouluk huu Ouly
special circumstances enabled
the writer to be present at the
ceremonies described here.
Subhodra, the barber, had arranged
marriage between Anandi, only
daughter Of Dhola Buksh, a wealthy
member Of the Kahatriya caste, and
Surindro Tagore Of the same caste.
That Is one function of BARRIERS in
India. Anandi was not quite ten.
Surindro was Just eighteen. Anandi
had never seen her future husband.
Nobody had ever thought OF asking
the opinion Of either of the most In.
terested parties as to the proposed
marriage.
The expenses Of a Hindu wedding
comes upon the brides father, and
they are SO great that a family some
ties Is ruined or impoverished for
many years by the marriage of a
daughter. The next most costly af-
fair is the burial services. Should
the head of the family escape bank
ruptcy when his daughter is married,
the eldest son is almost sure to be
ruined when he buries his father.
The woman barber, who is another
great Institution In India. came every
day. For two weeks she bathed
Anandi frequently in perfumed water.
Every day the girls hands and feet
got an application of henna. On the
evening Of the wedding day Anandi
was bathed In rose water and her
hands and feet got last application

Many Jewels.
She was dressed IN red silk sarree
embroidered with gold AID finished
with golden border at the bottom
Around her waist were wound chains
of gold. which were fastened by gor
geous buckles set with jewels.

wrist were covered with armlets and

not had time to try them. Perhaps
some Of .'ou will be kind enough to
write me II they are any good. You
could use them as an adjunct to a
bazar, performing them in separate
booth with curtains hung at the door
to give an air Of mystery. and charge
a penny to get in. OF course. this is
all to be done by young people. as 1t
10 within their possibilities.
Put nail in the end of candle and
set 1t all in glass filed with water.
The nail will steady the candle, which
will burn until nothing remains, al.
ways rising above the surface of the
water by reason of the decrease In
weight.
Take small picture cut from pa
per or book. and wrap 1t tightly
around q candle. Light a match or
another candle and hold the flame
near until the paper becomes trans.
parent. Unwrap the paper. and every
one will be astonished to find the pic
ture printed on the candle.
Put q candle unlighted in a basin
Of water. Let several try to take It
out with their mouths, not touching
the candle with their hands. Every
one will fail. Then you put your face
in the water and. when your mouth ia
near the end of the candle, draw In a
deep breath. and the suction of the
water will draw the candle into your
mouth.
Allow some drops from q lighted
candle to fall into basin of cold wa.
ter. This grease will form flowers.
String these on a wire with green
leaves made from paper. and an In
teresting plant will be the result.
Heat piece Of wire and stick It
crosswise through the middle of q
candle. Make wick at both ends.
Balance the candle on two tumblers.
Light the wicks, and the dropping
Of the candle grease will make the
candle see-saw, faster and faster as
the flame grows hotter. This is q
pretty experiment.

Did you every try Blowing the
Cone?" The youngsters will love It.
Make a large cone of stiff paper and
slip 1t on string stretched between
two trees about three feet from the
ground.
Give each child try to see II by
blowing Into the large end of the
cone they can send It across the
string. The art Is to see who can

Another very good amusement is to
tie knot In clothes line and stretch
1t conveniently high between two
trees or posts. blindfold each child in
turn and give him three clothes pins.
Then see who can come the nearest
the knot. Each pin is marked with
the players number: for instance.
three will be marked a." three "2.'
etc. This gives each one three trials.
II the party Is large one 1t will be
best to let each child have Just one
pin and instead of numbering the
clothespins could have coiored ribbons
tied to them. each child to remember
his or her color.

POLICE HUNT MAN
IN DENTON CASE
Birmingham Police Are Investi-
eating Youth Who Lunched
With Dease Girl in That City.

Attempts to connect w. A Moon,

wanted by police in Florida, with
the kidnapping of Eunice Dease, IS
years cid, and Elsie Elliott. 16. for
which ]. L. Denton. an Atlanta con-
tractor, has been bound over to the
Grand Jury, are being made by the
police al Birmingham, according to
information received in Atlanta last
night.
Moon. 1t is stated, has been under
arrest for several days. To detec-
tives he has denied all knowledge of
the trip made by the girls. The Dease
girl, however admitted to Miss NJ. \.
Hutchinson, who arrested the girls
in Birmingham, that she was in
Moons company coming over on the
train, and that she took dinner with
him.
1t is generally understood that the
Atlanta police are cooperating with
the Birmingham authorities in the
investigation of Moon, but no admis-
sions 70 that effect have been made.
The rumor is current that friends of
Denton hope to use Moon as a wit
ness in clearing the contractor.
Denton, when his hearing was held
in Justice Girardeaus court Satur-
day afternoon, waived examination
and gave bond of 5000 in each case.
