QUEER Adjournment OF BRIDE


with this tail I thee we'd" The
natives OF a remote part Of northern
Nigeria. not yet under the complete
control OF the British, do not actually
say these words when taking unto
themselves a wife, but with them the
tail Is synonymous with the wedding
ring, and the married women are par
ticularly proud OF their tails. which,
although not of flesh and blood. are
the outward and visible sign OF ma
tronly dignity.
When. woman in this particular
corner Of the globe becomes a bride
she assumes the apron of leaves and
the tremendously significant tail, or
"kunnok," as II is called. The tails
vary In form somewhat, according to
the particular tribe to which the WON
en- belong.
Sometimes they are long and thin,
sometimes short. mushroom-like. and
stumpy, or shaped like long bell.
These tails, according to the National
Geographic Magazine, are made OF
palm fiber, plated or bound tightly to-
gether with string, and usually stained
red with earth. The "kunnok" Is
worn quite plain, but the more ambi-
tious modes prescribe embellishments
of brass wire and colored glass beads.
In the case Of one tribe the tails OF
the married women are covered with
intricate designs worked In brass and
copper wire, being fruther decorated
with colored beads set In a bed OF
liquid rubber. OF which there is a great
deal In the country. Sometimes one
of these native married women who de-
sire to be a leader in the fashionable
world. will wear tiny bell just above
the tail, but this is a rare occurrence,
and the bell Is not often seen.
While the tail is essentially the
mark of the married woman, there are
certain occasions-such as dances or
feasts-when it is worn by little girls.
This is rare privilege, however, and
has some religious significance.-Nev
