Descriptive text from separate pages at the back which cannot be supplied (subject to any spelling errors due to the OCR program used)A HINDU MARRIAGE CEREMONY. Marriage ceremonies in every race have a peculiar interest. They are in nearly all cases survivals from the remote past, and our modern method of marriage at a Registry Office is, perhaps, the only exception to the general and well-established rule. The ceremonies which attend a Hindu marriage are certainly marked by no undue haste. The proceedings not infrequently last for several days, and are marked at various stages by peculiar rites and customs. We here see the bride and bridegroom in the presence of a party of friends and invited guests. It is evident that the marriage is taking place in a very wealthy family, and in the decorations of the hall in which the ceremony takes place there are indications of the inroads which an inferior Western art is making in a land that has long possessed a beautiful art of its own.
