Troubles.

The family had not had their phone
very long and took a great interest in
it. On the outside of the telephone
directory they had seen the words,
Trouble, Call No. 4217." 1t had been
a hard morning and everything had
gone wrong when the lady Of the
house happened to think Of the tele-
phone, and called 4217 and asked:
rs this where you report trouble?"
Yes"
We'll, only wanted to report that
our cat got drowned in the cistern
this morning: the baby Is cutting a
new tooth; the cook left suddenly;
we are all out Of sugar and starch;
the stove pipe fell down; the milkman
left only a pint instead of a quart to-
day; the bread won't raise; my oldest
child is coming down with the meas
les; the plumbing in the cellar leaks;
we have only enough coal to last
through tomorrow; ran out Of paint
when got only half over the dining
room floor; the handspring OF the
clock is broken; my husbands three
sisters are coming to visit us tomor-
row; the man has not called for the
garbage for two weeks; our dog has
got fleas; the looking glass fell of the
wall today and broke all to pieces, and

cradle notice of a widow lady that
lives next door. That's all today, and

ments, where stood the women and
children, each woman with a chuddah
drawn tightly over her face. Then
five women came in. all Of them
closely yelled and wrapped In silk
sarrees. The first was the brides
mother. On top OF her head was q
little tray filled with red hot Goals Of
fire. She carried a jewelled chattee
Of water in her hand.
Bride Carried In.
The four other women bore trays
loaded with different kinds of fruit
The women marched around the bride
groom seven times, the mother pour
ing the water gently out Of the chat
tee 80 that 1t formed a circle around
Surindro. She then stepped aside and
the bride was brought in.
A number OF symbolic igrues had
been chalked upon a board. On top
of these figures the bride was seated
and then carried into the room by the
barber and his assistants. Within
the circle which had been made by
the water the mother had spilled
Amanda was carried around Surindro
six times. The board was then low
cred from the shoulders that bore II
and the bride was placed At her hus
bands feet.
During this ceremony the bride
groom had never moved a muscle.
The barber and his assistants now
lifted Amanda to the level Of Surin'
dro's face, underneath a large sheet
which had been stretched over their
heads. The brides mother and an
other woman, near Of kin, were on
either side OF the bridal pair. Each
woman held light close to the face
of the bride and bridegroom and the
sarree was removed from the brides
face.
The sheets were then carried away
and the bridegroom walked into the
gods house. The barber and his as
sistants carried the bride in just after

on the floor the bride and bridegroom
were seated opposite one another;
between them was vase filled with
flowers. On this vase the back Of
the bridegroom's hand was placed,
while the back of the brides hand
was placed in his palm. The two
hands were then bound together with
wreaths of flowers, while in them the
marriage fee was placed.
Each family guru laid down the
law to the opposing father-in-law;
but not one word was said to the
bridal couple. At the side Of the
bride father was a large dish filed
with water from the sacred Ganges,
into which he had dropped a ruby
ring and a thin iron bracelet. The
bracelet was given to the bride and
the ring to the bridegroom, who were
both sprinkled with some Of the
sacred water and the flowers were
thrown at them
The bride, still on the plank, was
lifted and carried, first to the right
side of the room and then t. the left.
The sarrees Of the bride and bride
groom were next tide together. This
made them husband and wife.
After the marriage knot had thus
been tied the bride was placed on her
feet, standing in front of her husband
with her back toward him. The at
tendants placed In her hand a plate
upon which we're some rice and some
plantain. while wisp of lighted straw
was thrown at her feet The bride
was then conducted to her husbands
