(cess eee Marriage Customs in | *—~TMany Countries Spanish. By Madison C. Peters Copyright, 1018, ty The @reas Publishing Oo, (The New York Evening World). \ ARRIAGE Is one of the ¢ew occasions on which the Gpaniard goes the cull iM limit to show bts neighbors his capacity for pending money. And the celebration is limited only by the purse of the femily of the bridegroom ‘and bride. Among the aristocracy marriage is almost entirely a orivate arrangement be- ‘an the parents, and the etiquette which governs it te the cause of many un- vy homes, though the standard of morality among the Spanish women is very a6, for which credit must be given to the Church, ‘A daughter is almost always guarded by her moth husband first sees her he must tisfled to follow to find out where she lives, and, if porsible, exchange a glance with her, If she is interested, and her mother approves, she will allow him to #ee her on the balcony and will give him ‘a elight sign that she recognizes his attention. For @ while the lover follows her when she goes for a walk, and he spends part of every day in tho street under her baloony. He then must find some one to introduce him to her family, and she can then sit behind the heavily barred ‘window while he talks to her from the street. He is lucky if her family occupy the entire house or the ground floor, Otherwise all he can do is to make signs to her ¢rom the street while she remains on the balcony. He is allowed to call only on certain days at stated hours, under numerous rictions, until the engagement is recognized. The parents usually decide on ‘the date for the wedding, and are not in favor of a short engagement. Neither will they allow the betrothed couple to pass any time together without the in- Atadle duenna. ‘The marriage ceremony varies among the middle classes according to local stems, But one of the epecial characteristics is the presence and service of ‘onsors, who are expected to contribute liberally to the wedding expenses, even they do not bear all of them. Among the lower middle classes the bride and bridegroom lead the wedding rocession, walking slowly through the streets.

WE young man who wants a girl to love or even like him should not neglect the little courtesies of life. Of course the hero of romance always saves the herotne'’s life or turns off some equally brilliant stunt. But in the modern civilized world life-saving is @ profession which few of us have a chance to practise every day. And yet not a day passes without occasions for courtesy, Despite her success in business, the modern girl has not lost her appreciation of the little graces and refinements which are so big a part of the charm of social life. And the modern young man who opens doors for her and picks ‘up her handkerchief will find favor in her eyes more quickly than the youth who !# such a “hustler” that he hasn't time to be polite.

He offered them a target lest perchance Iris were not thoroughly screened, “Keep clone,” the said. ‘They have found us. Lead will be fying around soon.” She flinched back into the crevice; the eallor fell prone. Four bullets spat into the ledge, of which three pierced the tarpaulin and one flattened itsolf against the rock, Then Jenks took up the tale. So cu- riously constituted was.this man, that although he ruthlessly shot the savage who first epied out their retreat, he was swayed only by the dictaten of stern necessity, There was a fedble cliance that further bloodshed might be averted, That chance had paaned. Very well. The enemy must start the dread- ful game about to be played. They had thrown the gage and he answered! them, Four times did the Lee-Metford death, unseen, almost unfelt, acro valley.

Again Jenks could look at Iris. Her face was bleeding. ‘The sight mad-| dened him. “My God!" he groaned, “are you wounded?"
