placed upon a small salver. 8he offered
the three to the groom and tho bride's
parents first, which they drank "in con

Then the bride and groom's parents had
their bitter sharo meted out to them and
looked critically into her cup, -raised it
all three in exact unison quaffed it
with, it seemed to nie.'aa extravagant
throwing back of marvolously coiffured
heads, and ended with another searching

eating of rice "balls," whiehrt a given

their mouths and ate ravenouslv indeed.

After all wereserved the-mesress pre

drank. This was the real solemnization
of the marriage; audits nieauipg, that
they were to share the sweet and bitter of
life together, was quite apparent
though I doubt that tho sweet, save in
one's imagination were theio.
Then the- wedding party,j after much
more salaaming and lending of clo?ely
.wrapped bodies, filed out in silent pro
cess, on to go to the" bridegroom's house
a ceremony most important. I was
told tint after that the young husband
went home with his Mino to live, and
that he not only took the bride's name,
instead of her taking his, but adopted
also the businej) and vocation cf bis
father-in-law.
Surely tho Japanese are our antipodes
