Elaborate Hair Dressing In the Lead-
lng ‘ Feature of Her antlnl
Get-Up.
The daughter of a Zulu in comfort-
able circumstances does not leave her
father’s kraal without much pomp and
many queer rites, which doubtless are
held by her people in high estimation.
It may be noted, too, that the mar-
each tribe having its own peculiarities.
Hair—dressing, by 'the way, is an im-
portant feature both to the bride ,and
bridegroom, and the attention paid to
the coiffure of the pair would shame
the performance of a West end hair-
dresser who arranges a bride‘s locks
and fastens the orange blossom chap-
let. A cone-shaped erection, for in-
stance, is the lawful coiffure of a Zulu
wife, and this cannot be legally worn
.till the marriage rites are duly com-
pleted. Save for the all-important one,
the head of a Zulu bride is closely
shaved, an assegzii being used for the
purpose; whilst. as soon as a youth is
of a marriageable age, his head is shorn
to leave a ring around the scalp, and
ochre, without which unguents no Zulu
would feel fittingly decorated for his
bride. When the brid egroom-elect has
been shorn of all his hair save the wool
~On the crown, which is trained in a
circular shape. and some four inches
in diameter, a ring is sewn to this, of
gum and charcoal; in this the Zulu
thrusts long snuff spoons, needles and
small utility articles, and is very proud
of his ring, which is the badge of man-
hood.——Cassell’s Magazine,
