This means more music, more professional dancing, more sweets, more sherbet, more tea. But Digitized by Google XIX THE BRIDE'S ENDOWMENT 201 gradually, even the festivities die out, and wife and husband can settle down to a really happy, quiet, family life, devoid of temptations and full of fellow-feeling and though tfulness. Ten days before this last event takes place the wife is by custom compelled to send to the husband's house the endowment which by her contract she must supply : the whole ...furniture of the apartments complete from the kitchen to the drawing-room, both for the man's quarter and for her own. Besides this — which involves her in considerable expense — she, of course, further conveys with her anything of which she may be the rightful owner. Her father, if well-off, will frequently present her on her wedding-day with one or more villages or a sum in cash, and occasionally will settle on her what would go to her in the usual course of time after his death. All this — in case of divorce or litigation — remains the wife's property.
