The other day, as I was enjoying my after- breakfast pipe and the newspaper, I noticed an ‘unusual stir in the church just opposite to my window. The verger, whose grave and serious nly a rare treat on week days, seemed number of times that he went in and out of the I had, however, not long to wait and discharge their burdens, consisting of well- led me at once to conclude that a marriage ceremony was going to be performed. 1 had finished my pipe, I saw the ladies and gentlemen come out of the ¢hurch and make for their carriazes, in which settling them- selves, they drove off to their respective desti- leaving me in great astonishment to | r the rapldity and simplicity of the whole affair. My astonishment az the simplicity of the whole ceremony may be considered aa tion by those who consider even the te church a bore, and who would rather a letter to a magistrate and get outa Marriaze license and be done with the whole affair; but they will believe my word when I tell them that [ am used to marriage ceremonies in Tudia which last for days together, and in- Volve tights the performance of which would severely test the patience of a British clerzy- e to try it single-handed. To a Hin- en, the marriage ceremony itself is a nt in life, and if he is astonished at the simplicity of the western ceremonies it is no wonter, L will here try to give a very brief account of the diferent steps that have to be taken before @ couple become husband and wife; and in order to do so properly I shal bave to divide the sub- ject into three heads: First, engazement; see- ‘ond, marriage; third, consummation of ‘mar- riage. It may seem absurd to classity an account of a ace Ceremony in the same way as one would classify different periods ina work on history, but the reader will presently see that ture of the subject admits of it. Under my first head, viz., engagement, I am afraid I shall have the unpleasant task of mentioning at the outset. perhaps to great horror of the British maiden, that the pleasnres of courtship are un- known to her sister in India. That most pleas- ant task of studying each other's character: that most agreeabie duty of finding out each other's aim abi those charming attérnoon ‘uture plans are discussed, and many other such delights which my inexperience will not allow of my mentioning, are things un- kuown to an enzazed Hindoo couple. But Why? asks a young maiden, who is, perhaps, in full enjoyment of the pleasures that I have only partiaily been able to describe. Because, miss, the Hindoos are engaged in their infancy; nay, Tam ashamed to confess, sometimes even be- fore they are born; for it happens, though not usually, that the mothers in a triendly mood make # vow to each other that,if they zive birth to children of opposite sexes ‘they will be con- sidered as engagea; and, Hindoo vows are as as their relizion, If not more so. This being the unhappy State of things, conrt- ship and its pleasures are ‘evidéntly out of th question. But, however, Lust: not forget t ion that these enzagements before marriage are 1 exceptional, aud the proper age fot ei nt is when the child is three years old.

But to resumes The ceremony being over, the next two days are spent In entertaining the bridegroom's party. The entertaining generally consists of feasting and the dancing of Nautch girls at night. On the third day the party retires, taking the bride with them. "It Is often a pitiable sight to see a married girl of eight years of age leavin her parents’ house and goinu, although only for a day or two, to her bridegroom’s home. After this she 1s considered a married woman, and enjoys all the privileges of one in her fath- er's home. Three or four years after this my third period begins, which. as already mentioned, is called the consummation of marriage. This consists of the husband coming and taking home his wife. This is done, unfortunately, at a period when the husband is scarcely over fourteen or fifteen years of ave. What effect this early Tuarriage has on a boy of fifteen, who ought to be, and who generally is now, in a school, I leave the reader to contemplate.

Fashion Lost Between Blonde and Brunette Loveliness, In Paris, more than in New York or In any other great city, there is a decided fashion in beauty ae well as in dress, which changes as reg- ularly as do the seasons, and which sometimes takes very queer and ,curious treaks. stance, last spring the type of beauty that was all the rage was what was termed the “Daniel Gabriel Rossetti atyle.” This type of beauty is assured! was ori; rated by the Princess de Sagan, who is @ zreat leader of fashion in Paris, and who ap- peared in her box at the opera oneevening gotten up in the wonderfully striking ‘Daniel Gabriel this style of beauty is the hair, which is ayed green, and arranged in a pyramid fashion on the top of the head.

Her hair isa won.tertul yellow, her complexion fair as a lity, and her eyes black as sloes, with eyebrows to match. The “Van Dyke blonde" is a type ot beauty not often seen. It is considered by far the more distingue type. Althouzh almost everybody knows what is re- quisite to be a true branette, there are still a few who are not even yet educated up to it, and who call a woman who hasadark clear skin “cheeks like roses and. lips like the cherry,” hair purplish black, and dark gray eyes, a bri nettée. No woman is a true branette it very brown or very DIHOR eya!* © What is known as the “Irish type” of beauty ts one of the loveliest. No eye is 80 blue, 80 large, so expressive, or so heavily fringed as that of the possessor of this type; no nair is 80 glossy and dark and heavy; uo complexion go rosy and healthful, and to people in general this type is the most bewitching and fascinating. A type of beauty that has had its day, but of ceptance of the proposal. reward the barber and-give presents to their frieads and relations. What amount of confidence is placed in the barber can now be imagined, from the fact that the parents of the girl have not seen the boy, but yet allow their girl to be engaged to him, traxt- ing solely to the good gense and cholce of the barber. “But it must be mentioned here, to the credit of this family functionary. that he is as a Tule Ty faithful. and with the proverblal cun- ning of his profession, makes the best choice; yet it cannot be denied that fearful misrepre- sentations are sometimes made, which in the after life of these innocent children have disas- trous results. This system of engagement through a menial is pernicious in the extreme, and I do nat know how It has come about. I know French en- Zagements are very often made by the parents of the parties, and the resnits, as ia well Enown, are bad enough; how much worse the results are likely to be if the enzagements are made through ‘a menial, Ileave the reader to con- Jecture. The engagement being complete, I come to my second head, which is marriage. The mar- Tiaze ceremony, as a rule. takes place when the girl is abont eight or nine years of age. The date is fixed by the mutual consent of the pa- rents of the children, with the concurrence of the pundit of the household.

The true American type of beauty, however, is neither of the blonde uor brunette, Van Dyke nor Irish, Daniel Gabriel Rossetti, strawberry or yellow blonde types. The true American beauty has hair soft and brown, eyes of gray or blue, complexion rather white, clear and devoid of tich color, and features not by any means as regular.as those of the other types of beauty, but possessing far more expression.
