ness.

and Italy Awaited.
Washington, D. C.-Secretary DENLY
announced that there will be no scrap
ping of battleships until after the five
power naval treaty has been ratified
by the last Of the subscribing powers.
France and Italy have yet to ratify'
the pact.
Five obsolete battieships have al
ready been sent to the scrap heap,
but it was said that although named
in the treaty, they would have been
scrapped anyhow. They are the Vir-
ginia, Rhode Island, Nebraska, Geor-
gia and the New Jersey. Officials.
it was indicated, have felt that the
near east situation might lead to some
of the signatories changing plans re-
garding the scrapping Of vessels be-
yond the treaty provisions and for this
reason it would not be wise for the
United States to begin actual scrap
ping until all the powers have ratified
the pact.

WEDDING LASTS
FOR SEVEN DAYS
Marriage Customs of Palestine
Are Among Most Interesting
Celebrations of Country.
FOODSTUFFS AS PRESENTS
Wedding Begins on Monday and Winds
Up With Breakfast on Following
Sunday-Neighbors Take Part
in Merrymaking.

JeruSalem.-The marriage customs
of Palestine, demonstrated recently
in the wedding of one of the prettiest
girls of the city to well-to-do mer-
chant, are among the most interest
Ing celebrations of this ancient city.
No person who is privileged to wit
ness one@Vill ever forget either the
gorgeous costumes displayed or the
thrill of the music and dancing in
dulged in by the guests.
Not only the respective families of
the bride and bridegroom but also the
entire neighborhood take part in the
merrymaking, which generally lasts
for seven days.
The celebration begins always on
Monday and the wedding ceremony
itself always occurs at dawn on the
following Sunday.
Eye for Presents.
Invitations are sent only to those
from whom presents are expected.
However, any person may attend who
wishes. Presents are always in the
nature of foodstuffs, such as rice,
meat, sugar, coffee, flour, butter and
provide food for the hundreds Of guests
who flock to the bridegroom's house
daily to take part in the singing and
dancing.
Saturday brings the climax to all
joy making. If the bridegroom's father
is of even moderate circumstances
professional musicians are hired for
the day.
Men and women in Palestine do not
mix together often, due to the general
belief that women are not mentally
worthy Of association. Consequently
1t becomes necessary to entertain
women separately.
On Saturday evening at eight O'Clock
there takes place the shaving of the
bridegroom, feature of the enter.
tainment. Surrounded by scores of
men and women who keep up incessant
maddening yells, which may be heard
for mile around, the barber under
takes the operation:
March to Church.
This done, a procession Is formed,
proceeding to the church with people
marching two abreast. At the head
come eight kawases (guards), followed
by ten children carrying in their
hands palm branches and long candles
lighted. Immediately after hobble
four priests dressed in their church
robes and singing psalms. The bride
groom, accompanied by his father and
the best man, comes next, trailed by
200 or 800 men. At the end of the
procession come the women and chill
dren.
A similar procession having started
at about the same time from the brides
place, the two groups meet at some ap.
pointed place and proceed Jointly to
the church. All along the streets men
and women, wakened by the noise,
lean out of their windows to watch
the bridal party.
After the wedding ceremony is per-
formed a general rush is made to the
bridegroom's house, where a breakfast
Is served (by this time it being early
morning) to all.
