LONG WEDDINGS IN PERSIA
Ceremonies, Continuing Several Days.
Among Most Curious and Eiabo.
rate in the World.

The marriage ceremonies which '5oi-
enniZe a wedding among the NiOllam-
medans Of Persia are among the most
curious and elaborate in the world.
Any American bridegroom who dis
likes what men are wont to describe
as the 'fuss and bother Of a formal
wedding should regard the case Of his
Persian brother and take heart.
The Persian ceremony may take
front one to two weeks for it's compile
ton. Often the betrOthal is a matter
of many years standing, having been
arranged by the parents when the pl'in-
cipals were still young children. When
the time for the marriage arrives the.
guests are summoned by heralds, who

bearing gifts Of apples, cloves and'
roses to accompany the invitations.
When some powerful parsonage is to
be invited, the father of the bride
groom does not send herald, but goes
himself, bearing as rich present as
he can afford to give.
Before the wedding there is also
curious little business arrangement en-
tered into. This is the matter Of
"kaben," or the price of divorce. A
sum is agreed upon in advance by the
payment of which the future husband
can put aside his wife ut any time.
When it is desired to make the divorce
difficult, the kaben is set at some i'm
possible sum or commodity. The hus-
band may be required to give the
bride u hunGrrdweight of mosquito
wings, or one of his arms or legs, be-
fore he can divorce her, condition
which generally makes the marriage
permanent affair.
The actual wedding festivities ex-
tend over days. The guests are given
rooms in the house and served with
rich foods and sweetmeats. Musicians
and dancing girls are hired to enter
tain them, and if the families of the
bride and groom are rich the favorite
sport of the persians may be staged
by a pair of professional wrestlers.
After the celebration has lasted
three or four days the bride rides
heavily yelled to her new home on
horseback. She is followed by pOrters
bearing her dowry on their backs. The
wedding celebration then continues for
several days longer.

Possibilities Of Bad Verse.

No one has yet written any adequate
appreciation of the possibilities of bad
verse. The verse, l mean, that is com
posed at the crises Of life on the noun
tain tops of exultation and in the JOY
less valleys, by persons unskilled and
ordinarily unpOctic. L he verse that is
hidden away in vases and bureau draw
ers, never to be shown and always pro-
duced in some moment of vanity. Only
a true poet could write just appre-
citation of bad verse; and from his pen
the words would come too much faint
ed with the implication Of irony. The
quality of bad verse is not strained.
1t is written to suit no magazines
policy. 1t is rewarded with no check.
1t is a brave denying Of reality; a
prayer that is it's own answer. 1t is,
to use Maeterlinck's phrase, "a max

that creep on their bellies" New Re-

EUGENE WAR AID
Former French Empress Active,
Though 80 Years Old.
consort Of the III-Fated Napoleon III
Spending All Her Means and
Strength Caring for Wounded
r at English Home.

When German prisoners Of war are
marched to a bArbed-wire Enclosure
near Frimley, Aldershot, England, they
pass down an avenue below beautiful
mansion standing on wooden hill. 1t
often happens that as the Germans file
past the gateway lodge, a sad-eyed,
venerable woman is standing or sitting
there. 1t is doubtful if any Of the
prisoners know that she is the surviv-
ing consort of Napoleon III, who deliv-
cred his sword to the king of Prussia
ut Sedan, September 1, 1870.
Empress Eugene celebrated her
ninety-second birthday recently by
watching the sight Of a new and large
detachment Of prisoners marching to-
ward their concentration camp. 1t
was a dramatic contrast to the events
of many years ago which robbed her
Of her seat on the French imperial
throne.
Surely there is not another woman
in the world who has lived through
such experiences as this one, who
forms the link between the riotous
past of the French and the glorious
present of united democracies. 1t was
her beauty and popularity which aided
Napoleon III to establish himself as
monarch. 1t was the interest aroused
by her marriage with Napoleon III
which enabled him to bring about the
Crimean war, although that war mark
ed the beginning Of his fall.
Engene's influence over her hus-
band was well known and it is possible
that her intelligence went far toward
helping him to realize that Prussian-
ism was the real menace Of Europe.
When the North German Bund was
formed in 1865 he knew that here was
his real rival. From the date of the
formation of this bund Prussia has
gone steadily forward with plans for
world power, and 1t must be with feel
ings of Joy that Empress Eugene sees
today the greatest countries on earth
allied with France against the old
enemies of Napoleon III.
Throughout England the name OF
Empress Eugene is revered. Wher-
ever charity and Kindness were to be
found it was almost certain that her
name would appear in connection
Herewith. Throughout the years that
have elapsed since she went to Eng
land with Napoleon III after the de-
feat at Sedan, she has worked I'M
ceasingly among the poor and the sick.
Her wealth has been at the disposal
of charitable organizations. Her only
son. Prince Louis, who went to Eng
land with her, died on the field Of
battle in Zululand.
Her home on Marlborough Hill has
been transformed into a hospital for
British officers. Since early in 1915
sh: has been using all Of her means
and what strength she has left in car
ing for these men who come to her
from the battlefields OF. FRANCE.

Get Rid Of Eleas.

The flea is one of the most annoying
OF household pests. In many cases
tleas are bred on dogs or cats, and the
first thing to be done is to eliminate
the source Of supply. If the animal is
not badly infested, insect powder, we'll
rubbed into the hair, or creolin wash,
may be effective. Remove ali carpets
and similar articles and scrub the
floors thoroughly with hot soapsuds or
I've, being careful to get into every
crack and crevice. Fleus thrive on dirt
and do not like to be disturbed.
