are many days of happiness for
the two as they walk around the
rooms. plan for the arrangement

Quirements for the home in which
they expect to spend their lives
together.
And then when the honeymoon
Is over it is with the greatest JOY
that the young bride first steps
into the home her husband has
provided for her and over which
she Is to preside.
She goes to it eagerly and with
the greatest love and happiness in
her heart. This Is a day that will
stand out as one Of the red letter
days of her whole life.
Tl For this reason it comes as a
surprise to the traveller in Africa
should he reach the Tango Dor
der OF the Nile-to see a great
commotion outside one of the
native huts and to discover the
cause.
Around the hut surges a crowd
Of young people. At the door
stands a young African girl. She
Is hurting epithets at her friends.
Her hands are clenched. She is
in a frenzy.
Suddenly the crowd closes in

It does not take his guide long
to tell him the reason for the
disturbance. For this African
belle is only acting in the way

Her husbands friends have st

The reason for the selection of

was that his daughter, Abigail,

Perhaps when the Rev. Smith
