Of the marriage ceremony in Tartary, that the
prsIimnaries being settled, the nuptials are cele.
brated in tho following manner: The bride, cover
cd with n veil. having hid herself for some time
behind screen in the room, comes forth nd walks
around with grave and solemn gait. while some
Young girls bring her bread and honey; the BRIDE
groom quickly enters, kisses her. and exchange:
r;nos. after which she bear, the nume OF befrothed
o;ri. She then returns behind the screen, when
The married women bu, on her the cap ola matron;
which is much handsomer, and is supposed to oe
more fascinating than that which she wore before
tbe be,ro,hal. In the evening. when the bride and
bridegroom are about retiring, the lady is Obliged
to null off her husbands boots, ms sign oil her
.ubiecton TO his will! If the husband becomes
dissatisfied with his wife, he needs but tear oil her
can of matron. and the sign isa complete divorce
The Iady then Immediately returns 70 her fathers
house. where she is receivdd with kindness. From
this il appears that it is much easier to get md of'
Than catch Tartar! II the cap tearing could %

fashionable miliners would rejoice exceedingly a.
IKE prospec, of brisk trade. and anxious paPa'
