Cairo Letter in New York Sun.
Thursday was marrying day in Cairo,
and our dragoman put us, two American
women, into a carriage and we were
whirled oft through the narrow, winding
streets to a Mohammedan wedding. Our
Invitation was not exactly a personal
matter, for we had never set eyes on
either of (he brides—it was a double wed
ding—until that evening. But their hus
bands-to-be had never seen them, either,
so from that point of view we had Just
as good a right to be present as the bride
grooms had.
Before we went to last night’s wedding
we were rather skeptical about these mar
riages taking place without the man ever
seeing the face of the girl he is to marry.
But all doubts on this subject were dis
pelled. If the bridegrooms had ever had
a chance to look at the brides as a pre
liminary to matrimony there wouldn’t
have been any wedding. Or else there
would have been other brides. Perhaps,
we ought not to say this. After all, the
brideß compared favorably enough with
the hundred and forty-nine other women
who assisted at the ceremony. It was a
rude, rude shook to our notions of the
languorous, Oriental beauties shut up in
the harems of Egypt. They may be lan
guorous—though we spell that kind of lan
guor. “'laziness” —but there seems to be a
shortage in the beauty supply at present.
People often say that Oriental beauty is
of a rather full-blown variety. All that
we have seen has been so full-blown that
it has been blown clear of sight.
The contracting parties pooled their
efforts last night, and the result was a
■how wl.ioh was worth every cent of the
94.60 it cost us. This sum was expended
for incidental expenses. There was fl for
dragoman, |1 for the carriage, 91.50 for
the bouquets and $1 for a nebulous per
son who had secured our invitation at
the instigation of the dragoman. After
we had seen the brides we were pretty
sure that the bridegrooms would wish
they had their money back, but we didn't
begrudge a cent of ouns.
Our invitation, which might have been
a death warrant for all we could make
out of it, was printed in Arabic on a lav
ender card. At the tep was a crown and
an ermine robe bearing the crescent and
stars of Egypt. Our dragoman told us that
the bridegrooms belonged to the royal
family. This was not so improbable as it
might appear. Ismail Pasha, who was
Khedive about twenty or thirty years ago,
was a man who took all (he peraui=ites
that came his way, and was especially
tense bus of hit privilege of having a
new wife every week or oftener. Ismail
had a thriving family of 170 children of
his own, while the other members of the
royal conne tion doubtlms did their share
toward keeping the family from dying
out. The consequence is that the royal
family ramifies a good deal.
I say (hat we went to the wedding, but
I should be mote correct if I said that we
went to some of it. There are as many
“doings” in connection with a Mohamme
dan wedding as there are attendant on a
"swell” Ante lean marriage. Only, In Mt
hamme'dan circles they bunch the excite
ment Into about twelve hours of glorious
goings on. The first that we saw of our
welding was at about 2:"0 o’clock in the
afternoon when w met the bridal pro
cession in the street. There was a brass
band at the hend and there were half a
do<n n closed cabs. Some of these tv ere de
cided.y close. Wooden shutters with a few
perforations to admit air were pulled up
at the windows. Others were minus the
wrodtn shutters and were full of a ma-s
of veiled women and gaudily droesed chil
dren. The bride's carriage was not only
c osed but was coveted with a lot of hang
ings which completely hid the greater
part of the body of it. A man walked at
each door of each corrlago, apparently
as a guard These bridal precessions en
liven the streets for a while and finally
conduct the bride (o the house of her hus
band.
It wps about 9 o'clock when our car
riage. after following the windings of a
labyrinth of lanes, shut in by the houses
of old residents —for it was a good old
quarter of the city—finally turned Into one
little street, no wider than on alley and
fairly allvo with light and color. Over
head It was crossed by strings of bright
red and white pennants, alternating with
large lanterns of red and green. The
street widened into a sort of court at
Itie entrance to the house and here were
musicians, sellers of sweetmeats, natives
lt turbans and flowing robes and, around
the entrance, a group of men belonging
to the families of the brldea and the
bridegroom*. These men wore Europeon
iress, except for the fez. which remains
the one distinguishing mark of the native
nd which Is almost never abandoned.
A wide, arched passage led Into a court
Hi the oenter of the house. This had been
temporarily roofed over with gay red
awnings and bright flags; enormous crys
tal chandeliers bearing candles hung from
woss beams and between them were shiny
balls about a foot in diameter, like overfed
Christmas tree ornaments. On a raised
platform in the center of the cd-urt were
native musicians with zithers and mando
lins of the same overfed type as the hang
ing ornaments. These musicians play
queer melodies, which form a running
accompaniment to the stories told, or half
sung, by one of them. A brass band oc
cupied another side of the court and the
rest of the place swarmed with men an!
boys In all sorts of costumes. Some of
them wore European dress with the red
fez; others the flowing robes and white
turban of the Arab and others still the
Immense embroidered trousers of the
Turk. Servant* carried about trays full
of tiny caps of Turkish coffee; others
carried dishes of sweetmeats. Around the
court, at the hlght of the second story,
ran a balcony whose side next the court
was entirely formed of the fine, carved
screen shutters which always mean that
♦here is a woman around.
There were pi* nty cf women around in
this case We were led to a narrow, tor
tuous and not ovor-cltan stairway and
turned over to some half-grown girls, who
led us to the bedlam above. The stairs
were of stone, with the commonest kind
of an iron railing, and the walls were
dt;ty. At ihe top we fell Into (he hands
of two groups of women comp srd ai i*r
ently of ihe friends of (he respective
bildes. Never have we been more in de
mand. Each group was determined to se
cu e us for Its own camp." the brides not
being together, but each In her own apart
ments. The house, in fact, was the resi
dence of three brothers, each of whom
had perhaps five nr six rooms.
While the womin were Jabbering at the
tops of thrlr voices nnfl we with our big,
bobbing bouqu<*s were being dr*wn back
ward and forward as (he tide of triumph
changed f om one side lo the other, s m*
Hyrian young women who spoke French
aigv-ared. and at once flew to our rscue.
Which bride did we want to sec? We In
timated that we would see both but w
were not particular übout the order, so
long as we and our poor but necessary
raiment remained whole. Inquiry develop
ed the fact that one btldc was eating an 1
the other was dressing so •# wete o n
ducted into one cf th salons to wait.
When we saw the brides we were quite
ready to believe that they had been eat
ing uni dressing for a solid week.
The parlor Into which we now made an
impressive entry—led by the hand and
followed by a dozen clamoring women —
looked like an Immense circus chariot in
which the Am&lagamated Sisterhood of
the Fal Women of the World was having
a party. Perfectly enormous gilt chairs
and sofas upholstered in bright red bro
cade were set solidly around the walls.
They certainly lo k and like a circus cha
riot in sections. As for the women—but I
want to reserve my description for the
brides who were like all the rest, only
more so. However, they were all Jiko the
furniture; gigantic and gorgeous and un
communicative so far as we were con
cerned, though that was Just as much our
fault as it was theirs. But we tried to
smile in all the known and the unknown
languages, whereas most of the large,
languid ladies of the chariot simply re
tained the wide-eyed, docile look of a
cow.
Suddenly this all changed. We had been
led to places next to shining lights in the
Amalgamated Society and were fairly
withering our bouquets by the melting
warmth of our smiles, when the chariot
became the scene of Indescribable confu
sion. A red fez appeared in the doorway!
Even the bovine minds of our new ac
quaintances grasped the fact that there
must be a man under tho fez and the hub
bub was indescribable. One airy, fairy sis
ter of about 250 pounds who sat next to
me. tried in vain—to hide behind me, and
finding that it was manifestly impossi
ble, caught up my dress skirt and hid her
blushing countenance in its folds. The fez
covered the head of a young nephew of the
bridegroom’s. It seemed that he was tall
of his age, but not old enough to be con
sidered "taboo.”
After he had disappeared the Amalga
mated Sisterhood, with much gasping and
puffing, recovered Us equilibrium and
some of the members lighted their cig
arettes by way of calming down. One of
them, who was more hospitable by nature
than she was Inviting In appearance, light
ed a cigarette and then blandly removed
It from her own lips and presented it to
mine. At this moment, fortunately, the
bride’s approach was announced. Pell
mell In front of her came a higgledy-pig
gledy group of slatternly women who were
probably servants and poor relatives. They
wore cotton dresses of the "Mother Hub
bard variety and every few moments one
of them would suddenly give vent to a
weird, ear-piercing trill, executed by means
of some mysterious conjunction of the
tongue and the teeth. The bride was in
the center of the medley. In front of her
was a coal black Nubian woman in a
white gown,-which splendidly set ofT her
elsyny skin. The Nubian had a fan which
she waved in front of Ihe bride and anoth
er servant made an attempt to keep the
back of the wedding gown from under the
feet of the procession.
The bride was dumped, as if she were a
sack of potatoes, onto one of the chariot
sents and we and our bouquets were
led up before her. The poor thing
seemed more like a sleepy owl or an
overfed animal than like a human being.
Somebody got her to her we shook
a lifeless hand Into whlclr we forcibly
stuffed our bouquets and then beat a re
treat to a corner from which we could
notch proceedings. The bride was a great,
shapeless mass of while-brocaded satin.
She must have been almost six feet tall
and was even more remarkable for her
horizontal proportions. Her gown was of
a large figure and was made in two parts;
a waist, gathered amply at the neck and
the belt and a skirt which was also gen
erously and impartially gathered into tho
belt. She was powdered to a dead white
ness, which, added to her stolid features,
made her face about os expressive as n
whitewashed fence. She wore few orna
ments. because she was a widow.
A little later we were taken to see the
other bride who had been reported to us
occasionally as still dressing. Wo did not
doubt it when we saw her. She received
us in her bed room. In one corner was
a great bod entirely covered with pink.
Canopy, coverlet, valence, steps (to climb
into it)—all were of bright pink satin with
gold fringe and embroidery. A cotton
covered divan Tan around the sides of the
room and there was a table in the cen
ter. There was no other furniture—ex
cept the bride. This being her first matri
monial venture she was more gorgeously
arrayed than Number One. Her white
satin gown had broad stripes of tinsel
running through it and she wore on her
head and around her neck a great lot of
gilt tinsel like the silver threads with
which we decorate Christmas trees. But
she was even more huge, more shapeless
and more stolid than the first one. As for
the female friends of the brides, they wore
great brocades of blue or pink or white,
all made in the same formless fashion.
Not all the women were toll but with
beautiful unanimity they excelled In avoir
dupois.
In the second bride's salon—which look
ed Just as much like a circus chariot as
the first one—there wns a crowd of native
women and their servants and a sprink
ling of European women who had come
as we had.
“Where’s Ihe bride?" demanded one
American woman of our Syrian ehaper
onp.
‘"Which bride?"
"Which? Are there more than one?”
"There are two."
“Two! Oh, these greedy men! Think
of committing matrimony by wholesale."
“But there are two husbands madame.”
"Oh!” with evident disappointment. “I
thought there was only one and that he
was taking several brides at once to save
time and expense. Well, when will it
be?”
“What?”
"Why, the wedding.”
’’This is it.”
"Is ihis all? What about the cere
mony?”
"There is no cermony.”
“No ceremony! Suffering Moses!"
burst forth the American woman; “Is
this all we have come to see?”
But Just then half a dozen native wo
men, who were sitting cross-legged in one
corner of the room, began beating rude
tambourines and chanting a Midway re
frain. A girl with a green dress, much
embroidered, got up, stretched herself,
took off an upper garment and motioned
the servants to clear a circle In the mid
dle of the room. Her eyebrows were
blackened to a width of over half an
Inch In the middle, where they were made
to meet and there were gilt spangles
glued here and there on her fnre. When
the space had been cleared she gave a
fifteen-minute dense du ventre and then
passed the tambourine to all the foreign
women present. All Ihe time that she
was dancing the Arah servants punctu
ated the performance with the ear-split
ting trille which one of the native wo
men condescendingly explained was
“merely a fantasy with the domestics."
When he asked how long this double un
stairs end downstairs reception would con
tinue, we were told that li would la-r most
of the night. We went down to the bilco
ny overlooking the court and peer’d
through the wooden forcers. There vns
a crowd of the native women peering td o.
The court was crowded, but the band an!
the story fingers seemed to make most of
the noise. The bridegrooms were tali,
rather good-looking young rren in frock
coats, black trousers, white ties afld rod
fez. They went about nmorg the guests,
apparently doing the honors with se'f-pos
etsslon and a certain graceful cou ' sy
When wo finally left ihe confusion f (h*
upstairs apartments and descended to e
court we were presented to the trltsp
grooms who made the usual polite rema-ks
In French, and who personally escorted
us across the little lane outside to anothe
house vwherean Inviting buffet had been In
stalled. and where we were asked to have

wine, whisky, and other eatables and
drinkables.
On the way home Said All, the dragoman,
asked us wftat we thought of it, and we
confided to him that we felt sorry for the
bridegrooms. Said Alt shook his he^d.
“That's the trouble," he ?aid. “There’s
many a Mohammedan who spends his
money on a night like this and is sor. y
for it the next day. I was mariled my
self once. My mother got my wife (or me
and I had a wedding and spent my money
on it. and then, when I saw my wife, I
didn't like her." m
“What did you do?*’
“I sent her away."
“Seht her away? But, can you do it
just off-hand like that?"
“Oh, yes. We have a court that ar
ranges it. The wife has to be under the
husband’s orders for three months after
he sends her away, but after that she can
marry again. “My wife waited for me a
trying to get me to take her beck.
Then 6he monied again."
South Dakota in its palmiest days was
as nothing to Egypt when it comes to
getting divorces. That is the reason that
the majority of the men here seecn to be
abandoning the polygamy which is per
mitted by the Mohammedan creed. A
great many men have had numerous wives
but hove divorced them one by ope in or
der to take others. Only the rich can af
ford 1 to have the large domestic establish
ment involved by a plurality of wives. As
the divorced wife is allowed to retain the
dowry settled upon her by her husband
at her marriage, too many matrimonial
experiments are also expensive. These
practical considerations and the Influence
of the growing contact with Europeans
is Plowly undermining the habit of polyg
amy. But after seeing the crowd of na
tive women we caw last night, we think
we know what would be a death blow to
the custom in Egypt. Unveil the women,
and let the prospective bridegrooms see
all applying candidates. That w’ould settle
polygamy.
I}oiikli on Jerry Simpson.
During the extra session of Congress
early last year, says Success, Jerry Simp
son kept objecting every little while to
the execution of the purpose of the ses
sion, the changing of the tariff from the
Wilson to the Dingley schedule of rates.
Simpson would fan the air with his arms
and bore everybody with his tirades. The
big speaker would on such occasions re
cline his head on the back of his chair
and close his eyes.
“I’m not alone in this," Simpson was
vociferating one afternoon; "there are
many members here who share the same
views I have. My learned and distinguish
ed friend from Texas, Mr. Bailey, fully
agrees with me.”
Mr. Bailey, who detested Simpson, arose
and said, sharply:
“I object to being cited as an authority.
I do not agree with the gentleman from
Kansas. He should inform himself."
The sf>eaker woke up and rapped for
order. In a drawling tone he ruled:
* “The gentleman from Texas should not
make ap unreasonable request of the gen
tleman from Kansas."

Brevity Is
A whole lot more things than the “soul of wit.”
It applies profitably, usefully and ornamentally to
our new lines of strictly correct, stylish and up
to-date.
Rainy Day and Bicycle Skirts.
Commonsense and progressiveness have called
these garments to fill a long-felt, crying want
Unless made rightly, and properly-fitting they
would cry in vain, but being exactly IT, no more
or no less, they will find new friends and wearers every minute.
The Prices Are Alright Alright, Too.
One thing suggests another and on this sam
floor (second —take elevator) you will find other
nice things—notably

Girls and Boys.
We are afraid that our friends among the ladies
who have Girls to dress, have not examined our
metropolitan display of Ready-To-Wear Dresses
for large and small girls, as closely as we would
desire. We are sure the good points of these gar
ments will manifest themselves strikingly.
Variety of fabrics, handsome designing and
trimming, and Phenomenally Low Prices
Afford Fine Clothing at Little Cost,
Boys* Wash Suits
Are shown in boundless variety of styles and thin
materials. Quality is a predominant trait, and
the very Low Prices take away any suggestion of
laundry expense or extravagance.
