The purents ef the gir! joinin the con- versation inafew moments they lonve the promenade andare joined bythe parents of the young man. Generally, the old folks have taiked it well ever before, but on this occasion everyone pretends to be surprised. On the next day afemate contid inte calis on the girl's parents and requests her hand. This granted, all the relations on both sides meet and argue about the — to be given away with the girl. | fthis is not satisfactory, all ia at ap end ; if whatis expected, the betrothal takes place. The bride and bridegroom’ knee! upon a great fur mut, and the bride takes a ring from her fiager and gives tothe bridegroom, who returns the gift hy another. The bride’s moth- er meanwhile crumbles a piece of bread over her daughter’shead, and her father folds the image of his daughter's pation saint over hie future son-in-law’s wel! brushed locks. As they arise brides- maid sing a wedding song. The guests each bring forward a present of seme sert. Wineis handed about and seme one saysitis bitter and needs sweeten- ing. Upon-this the bridegroom kisses the bride-—the sweetness beiag supposed to be provided by this kiss—salutes the company and takes his leave, en whieh the bridesmaids sing a song with a chorus semething like this ‘* Farewell, happy bridegroom, But return to be stili more happy.” Courting time has now begua, Every evening the lover comes to his lady’s heme with a present which is always something good to eat—generally cakes or sugar plums. He makes love under rather awkward circumstanees, for the bridesmaids sit abeut the betrothed pair ina circle, singing songs descriptive of their happiness. The last evening of the courtship is enlivened by the presentation of the gifts of the bridegroom, which must _in- clude brushes, combs, soap and perfum- ery. On receiving these, the brides- maid: instantly carry the bride away, and wash her, dress her bair, and per- fume her pocket hankerchief. Thus touched up, she returns jto the company and the bride’s father gives his future son-in-law the marriage per- tion, which he takes home with him in & neat bag. The next morning he returns fer the lady herself. She receives him with her bair braided aed flowing down her back. They are married by the ceremenies of the Greek Church, and the e'd folks mever go the wedding dinner, Those eternal bridesmaids, whom they mast hate by this time, are there, however, still on duty, and the evening eloses by the bride kueeliag dewn and ulling of her husband's beots to prove fae intention to be an obedient and sub- missive wife, Good-natured bridegroorms generally hide jewelry or money in their boots, which the bride may take pocession of as balm for her pride. After the wed- ding-day the parents begin to give feasts, and keep it up » week, and it is net till all this is over that the ** young couple” | see those blessed bridesmaids their departure. They are eompelled to kiss them. thank them, and give them each a present. ~~ a - take Tremors of the Earth.
