It is tc considered beneath the male in- ^ habitants of New Guinea to even ^ notice a woman, and consequently q the women perforce must notice q the men. and must start any idea aj of weddings, etc. o1 So when the belle of New /p Guinea becomes in love she prom- ^ ptly sends a piece of string to the w sister of the lucky man. If he fa has no sister she sends it to his pl mother or anyhow to some female m relative. This, because the man Qj and his male relatvies are assumed to be above taking any steps w owara acquiring a wite. sj Then the sister says to the man ^ i ?i *olved: ''Brother, I ha"e news; <jT so-and-so is in love with you." m If inclined to matrimony the man fa ma kes an engagement to meet the fe en nored lady. When they meet as it is alone and they either decide q to wed or drop the entire proposi- m tion at once. There is no court- ca ing, for the man is not allowed, ^ theoretically, at least, to waste m any time on a woman?not even 1- -11 1 1 ? cnuutf u to aiiow tier 10 nuuce love ^ to him. n< The betrothal is announcd and the engaged man in New Guinea is branded on the back with charcoal, but the woman's mark of _ engagement to wed is actually cut into herein, and is never allow- ^ ed to completely vanish. If either w one decided to break the engage- c ment nothing can be done by the tc offended party. w If the girt ; decides that after all ti she sent the lHtle piece of string (C by mistake the man is apt. how- tl ever, to clutch her sometimes alone ti and beat her. If the man jilt the ei woman her relatives often hunt w him np and administer sound b drubbing. u k k.. U * - - CI i/tnnurt'i mw rwmm. . e Rev. 3. P.
