Will you please tell me some his tory on early marriages and some foreign customs? A detailed ac count would require too much space, but a mere mention of some will be highly appreciated. ’ Cc. A. H. A.-Thanks for your good opinion of my work In the past, marriage was first intertribal, and then outalde of the tribe. The first form of outside marriage was by capture. The bridegroom went on the warpath and seized any damsel who had in advertantly strayed from her bome He then carried her off to his home, there to keep her till he had gained the consent of her father to thelr marriage. Our custom honeymoon comes from the period of hiding on the part of the bridge groom. This wi Kindly ac succeeded by marriage by purch or buying the girl from her father. The Assyrians and Babylonias used to assemble thelr maidens twice a year in a tem-| f there sell them off. Girls with beauty received high prices and the money thus received was turned over to the homely ones as a counter attraction In Anglo-Saxon marriages, the husband took oath to use his wife well, but was allowed considerable license by the law because he was supposed to punish her for any mis demeanors.

It ig not safe for young boys or girls to go a distance without a chaperon as an accident might happen, and in such case there would be need for an older person’s judgment.
