HIE majority of the Austro-Hungarian peoples are of Slavonic origin. i} But they, too, are divided into many races, differing, more or Jess, in thelr janguage, religion and domestic custome. Among the northern Slave—the Czechs, Poles and Rutheniane—mar- riages are always arranged by two members of the would-be dride- 6room's family.

Permission granted, they begin the search, The blushing maid is soon discovered, and after the exchange of a few compliments she retires and the business of arranging terms, &c., then begins. The parents of the bride must give her a dowry, according to their means; but this is offset by the money, or its equivalent, which the bridegroom's family must give to compensate them for the loss of thelr daughter, This custom 1s eo general, especially among the non-Germante races, that even among the upper classes a present of some value must be made to the parents as @ nominal “pay- ment” for the bride. Among the peasants, especially those of the Slavonic and Magyar race, the “payment” 4s by no means nominal. Among tho Slovaks all the friends meet at the bride's house the night before the wedding for a supper and the “cake dance.” The fun is wproarious, but just before the time set for the departure of the guests the hilarity suddenly ceases, and custom demands that they should wall and weep to show the family grief at losing a daughter. On the wedding morning, just before leaving for the church, the bride, dressed in her gala costume, ts seated by her mother on the kneading trough, which is covered by a plece of newly woven fine jinen.
