Marrakech, Morocco, Oct. 29 lPl- Oriental splendor surrounded the wedding ceremonies which united Mulai Idriss, son of the sultan of Morocco, to the daughter of Fl Glaowi, pascha of Marrakech and the most powerful lord of the Atlas district.
 The religious ceremony was held yesterday. The royal bridegroom, escorted by hundreds of magnif- gently caparisoned horsemen, rode into the palace, where his father, the sultan, and the bride awaited. He entered to the crash of thous- ands of rifles and the cacophony of mingled native and European bands.
 As the party disappeared within the walls, the gates were barred, for the long and elaborate ceremonies must be held In strictest privacy.
 Outside, on the vast parade grounds, the famous black guards kept back the throngs, while horse men executed intricate maneuvers.
 At night the fetes especially re- served by tradition to the women folk were inaugurated. About 1o,- 900 women residents entered the palace walls, there to sojourn and feast for ten days.
 The bride and bridegroom are not participating in the festivities at the palace together, Moslem law requir- ing them to remain away from one another in the day time for seven days.
 There was great rejoicing among the sultan's subjects when he of- fered wedding garments to all those desirous of following his sons ex- ample by taking wives.
 Today those who accepted the of- fer were promenading the town at tired in long baggy trousers and big sleeved shirts with large open col lars. a costume which they believe will assure harmonious married
