A humorous plaint often goes up
on behalf of the bridegroom, whoa*
presence at a modern wedding
seems merely to be tolerated. But
the bridegroom’s case is sometimes
even worse, for in certain parts of
the globe he may not be present
even at his own betrothal. The fo l­
lowing passage is from Chedo Mija-
tovich’s interesting account o f the
customs o f his countrymen in “ Ser-
vi* o f the Servians.”
It is the duty and privilege o f
every Servian to choose s wife for
his son. As soon as the boy has
reached his eighteenth year, the
Servian peasant asks his friends,
confidentially, to help him find *
proper wife. He himself visits as­
siduously all the fairs in h i s . own
and neighboring districts, dressing
better than usual, and watches the
girls dancing. He makes careful in­
quiries about the families that hare
marriageable daughters.
In some parts o f Servia the young
unmarried women carry a special
mark in their headgear, generally
a red feather, to indicate that they
are open to proposals.
When the father has chosen a
promising
girl,
he
ascertains,
through a friend, whether the par­
ents would consent to give her to
his son. I f he receives an encour­
aging answer he invites relatives or
friends to g o with him on the “ re­
questing errand.” They start out,
dressed as well as can be. The
father carries a flat wheat cake and
a bunch o f flowers. One o f the com ­
pany must carry a pistol, fo r it is
customary in Servia to announce
every joyous event by firing rifles
or pistols. They arrive s t the girl’ s
house before supper.
A fter eating and drinking, in
which the men alone o f the two
houses participate, and some pre­
liminary conversation, the father o f
the prospective bridegroom draws
from his bag the wheaten cake, puts
the flowers upon it and places the
whole upon the table. He then
takes from his money bag some gold
or silver coins and places those, too,
npon the cake.
“ Brother, let ns not precipitate
the matter,” the girl’s father will
then say. “ Let me first find out
what my daughter says.”
He then goes out to consult his
wife. This is only fo r appearances,
as the matter was practically set­
tled when the father was encour­
aged to come to “ beg” the girl.
A fter more or less suspense the
door opens and a male relative
brings the girl in. He leads her to
the father o f her prospective hus­
band, before whom she bends deep­
ly and kisses his right hand.
The ring is finally brought to the
engaged girl on the appointed day
by a company o f the bridegroom’s
male friends and female relatives.
It is chiefly a pretext fo r the bride­
groom’s relatives to make the girl’s
acquaintance. The bridegroom is
not present even on that occasion.

In mediaeval times, when life was
very insecure, it was usual fo r peo­
ple to sleep on a bed which was sur­
rounded by sides o f boards with
strong posts at the four corners.
These sides contained sliding doors,
which could be fastened inside.
When men retired to rest they took
a weapon with them. I f attacked
in the night they were aroused by
the noise made bv the crashing in
o f their wooden defenses and were
able to defend themselves. When
the law became strong enough to
protect human life the sides o f the
bedstead were gradually dispensed
with, but the four posts remained.

His Noss For Nows.
A n English reporter was sent to
report the wedding o f a musical
comedy actress the other day. The
reporter, on his return from the
church, sat down at his desk, lit his
pipe and began to read a novel.
“ Here,” said a subeditor— “ here,
why don’ t yon write that wedding
story?”
“ Nothing doing,” the reporter
answered, with a yawn. “ Bride nev­
er turned up. So there’s nothing to
write.”
