AVhen a' girl has accepted a ring from a young man, she is betrothed to him ; and should her parents withhold their consent to the union, he can claim the girl as his legal bride from the chief Rabbi, the so-called Jew- King ; but usually he is satisfied with a sura of money as a com- promise with the family. The Rabbi draws up the marriage agreement. The festivities begin as early as six days before the marriage ; all the kin assemble for feasting and enjoyment, but the males and females remai...n separated. On the marriage morn- ing, when the bride is fully adorned, two old men lead her by the hand to the house of her future husband, followed by a crowd of friends and relations, each of them carrying a paper lantern, and yelling incessantly '-'•Yuh! yuliV^ In the house, the Rabbi recites a long prayer : the young lady receives a golden ring from the hand of the young man : the guests sit down in the hall, and dishes and trays and tumblers, filled with all the delicacies of the season, are handed round, whilst music is sounding and danc- ing is going on.
