Guests Throw Pails of Perfume
Over One An.other.
A royal marriage in the Par East-
ern states is a costly affair. At
Kedah, In the Malay Peninsula, five
royal marriages have just taken
place amidst great rejoicings. The
feetititles continued for over a
month; and tho estimated cost of
the entertainments was about $100,-
000.
'he capital. of the little State
where the Sultan and his court re-
sided, Alor Star, was prepared for
the occasion regardless of expense.
Triumpimi arches were erected in. the
vicinity of the palace; end tempor-
ary structures, representing pagodas,
towers and pavillions, were built
along the main etreet of the town.
Over 10,000 lights illuminated the
place at night.
Leospitalities wore conducted on
the most liberal scale. Inaitations
Lor a ten days' stay or more were
sent to most: of the European resi-
dents in towns 50 miles away; and
those who went were sumptuously
entertained.
Laenches took them for the six
hours' journey to the capital free
of charge; houses belonging to the
Sultan's chicf officials were Placed
at their disposal, with carriages
and servants; and the Hall of Jus-
tice was converted Into a banquet-
ing Imam, where 200 people sat
down every night, the Sultan's bro-
ther presiding. The only ladies at
these banquets were the European
guests; and 11100 44040 ta1cen. down
to dinner by members of the royal
faintly.
After the wedding the bride and
bridegroom sat on a raised dlas to
receive their guests, who were railed
off fi.oin the thlone, the ladies- and
the men apart. Under each guest's
chair was a small pail of perfumed
water, and after the bric1e. and bride-
groom bad sat 14 state for some
minutes. the Sultan's brother took
his pail of water and throw the con-

Then everybody present jumped
