Uncle Roy's Corner

Mohammed, the prophet, sale
something about marriage, but failed
to tell his followers how a wedding
should be carried out. For that rea-
son, many Mohammedan tribes and
nations have their own special mar
riage customs.
Among the tens of millions of
people in Northern Africa, the great
majority are Mohammedans. It is
a common custom among them, to
use camels when they travel. Often
a small tent" is placed on a camel's
back for the use of a bride:
1t is a widespread custom of Arabs
in Northern Africa for a BRIDE
groom's father to pay for a bride.
After deciding on the young woman
he wants his son to marry, he goes
to see her father and talks over the
amount of the present" which must
be made. If a proper amount. will
be accepted, a bargain is made.
This plan is followed in much the
same way as "dowries" have been
given in Europe and elsewhere. In
the case of the dowry, however, the
brides father gives the money, and
the bridegroom usually gets it for the
bank account of the couple.
A Well-to-do father of an Arab
bride may take the money, but may
use all OF 1t to buy wedding presents
for his daughter.
In Morocco an old native custom
calls Tor orange coloring to be placed
on both the bride and the groom.
Inc colorlng Is made with henna and
egg white, and is smeared on the
groom's hands. One of his close
friends then dances before him,
holding up four lighted candles as he
does so.
The friend who dances with the
candles is like the best man" at a
wedding in our country. He is called
however, 'vizier." The groom has
the honor of being called Sultan" on
the day of his wedding.
Orange -colored crosses and stars
are placed on the hands and feet of
the Moroccan bride. These are
meant as signs Of good fortune.
IN the company OF her relatives
and close friends, the bride rides
toward the village or tent settlement
OF her future husband. It is sup
posed to be Ill fortune for one wed.

Take Ny Word for 1t
BY FRANK COLBY.
Handbook Of Practical EnSlish,

HANDBOOK OF Practical English.
@. We are undecided as to the
correctness of such expressions as.
L am writing you a letter; I am
forwarding you money ORDER" etc.
Will you please discuss?
A. Such expressions are common
IN colloquial usage. But, in serious
writing and speech, the proposition
to, is desirable, as: am writing to
you letter: am forwarding to you
a money order.
Obviously, one cannot write or for
ward YOU or talk you" Rear
ranging the sentence will show that
to- is necessary:
I am writing a letter-to you.
/ am forwarding a money order
to you.
@. Can you do something about
the misuse Of the word personnel?
Here are three horrible examples
from a bulletin in a war plant: %
We need two personnel to operate
a hoist. 20 The information must
be available to these personnel. 90
Personnel purchasing hot lunches
must enter by door 2.
A. Only in an extremely limited
sense does personnel mean "em-
ployes." 1t is collective noun des-
ignating the entire body of persons
employed or engaged in a given
undertaking ,as: The personnel of
the United States Army; the per-
sonnel of the battleship Iowa; the
personnel of the accounting depart
ment. The word Is always used with
a singular verb, as: The personnel is
composed of both men and women.
@. Is this form of address correct:
Mr.. John Doe. Esquire?
A. No. With Mr." no other title
is used. Do not write, Mr.. John
Doe, Manager; Mr.. John Doe, M. D.;
Mr.. John Doe, Senator. Correct:
John Doe, Esquire; Manager John
Doe; DR.. John Doe; Senator John
Doe. incidentally. Esquire" is a
meaningless title in America. Why
use it?

10 would be an equally good lead
from that holding. East won the
spade ace and returned the 10 of
diamonds and South guessed right
and put up the king, winning the
trick.
With a diamond and possibly a
club to lose, South wanted to avoid
the loss of a trump trick. He could
either play for % break and
swing the ace and king, or he could
play for a s. 1break and plan to
f1nesse through East for the queen.
South decided there was an ad-
vantage to, playing for the %
break, for then he could first cash
the ace and If Unexpectedly one
opponent had all four trumps he
could still hold the loss to one
trick.
1t was good decision. The heart
ace disclosed the bad break. The
club queen was led and, not being
covered, was allowed to win. Then
a diamond was led.
West won and forced dummy to
trump another diamond. On dunn
my's two spades South got club
discard; he cashed the club ace,
ruffed club and led heart toward
dummy. West could get only one
heart trick however he played.
