HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Herald, 1903-06-26, Page 5Ways of Wooing.
There are morways of wooing than
are nations, and to most people
e
otany of these may well seem. very
orange indeed: - '
•
The etiquette of love wniong the Hun -
Winn gypsies, for instance, is as follows:
- akes are used as love letters. A coin is
oaked into rho take which at the first
opportunity, is flung to the favored. ob-
:Oct, The retention of this is looked
noon as a virtual "acceptance;" its • for.
able return, an intimation that the "at-
tentions" are undesired.
This, of course, requires no eloquence
on the lover's part. In some parts of
the world, indeed, all that is -demanded
of n lover is physical force. Among the
semi -savage tribes hi the Arabian desert,
round about Sinai, the lover tries to
seize the girl while she is pasturing her
father's flocks. She. pelts him with mud,
sticks and stones,and will be held in life-
long repute if she succeeds, in Wounding
him. Once driven into her .father's tent,
the- lover's object is attained and the
betrothal is proclaimed. • •
The Eskimo smitten one goes one bet-
ter, inasmuch as he marches openly and
without any beating about the bush to
his loved one's abode, seizes her by her
long, strong hair, or her fur garments,
and drags her to his lair 'of ice or tent
of skin.
There is considerably more poetry in
the method of the Yee Midos, one of the
many:Burmese-Tartar peoples, who woo
their wives absolutely without words,
but to the sound of aisic. On the first
day of winter they have a great feast, at
' Which all the marriageable girls gather
and listen to the music made by the
birdrelors, Who sit under and round the
"desire tree," each playing his favorite
instrument.
As the maiden he loves passes him the
youth plays the louder and more feel-
ingly. if the girl ignores him and passes
i on he knows that ,he will have none of
{ him; if she steps up to him and lays a
flower upon his instrriment he jumps up,
takes her by the hand, taking care not
to drop the flower, and they wander off
into the moonlit woods. •
A remarkable custom prevails among
the Dyaks of Borneo. When one of
them would woo the maiden of his heart,
he chivalrouslyhelps her in the hardest
portions of her uneasy daily toil.. If
she smiles upon him, never so sweetly,
he does not immediately respond, but
waits until the next dark night. Then
he steals to her house and lightly wak-
ens her as she lies asleep beside her
sleeping parents.
The parents, if they approve, make no
sign, but sleep on—or pretend to. 11 the
girl accepts, she rises and takes from her
lover the betel and sweetmeats lie has
hrouglit her. That seals their betrothal,
and he departs as he came, neither speak-
ing nor being spoken to.
The Japanese lover, wishing to make
;, known his love, throws a bunch of pale
'plum -flower -buds into her litter as she
ji enters it to be carried to a friend's wed-
ding. If she tosses the blossoms lightly
out the suitor is rejected: if she fastens
them in her girdle the suitor is accept-
1- : able to her.
In Spain the young man looks amor-
ous, but never speaks until after aeeep-
, to nee'by his lady -love. The girl neither'
- speaks nor looks, but—she sees. Later,
in the cool of the evening, the gentle -
t. ;non raps at her father's door and craves
a. gourd of water. It is, of course,
given hits. Then comes the crisis. If he
is not offered a chair within the porch or
a seat in the garden, he bows and walks
away—a rejected man; if, on the other
hand, the coveted civility is extended to
frim, he remains,. an accepted suitor.
There is, in the event of his acceptance,
n general celebration 'by the family of
the bride-to-be in honor of her betrothal.

The Hotel Chaplain.
One of the most striking proofs of the
increase of hotel -dwellers in large cities
is the movement which has been started
to provide' special chaplains for those
who sojourn casually or permanently in
the big and little hostelries. In New
York a Hotel Chaplains' Society has
been formed, which includes representa-
tives of most forms of religious belief,
as well es prominent hotel -keepers. The
Iiev. II. M. Warren, wino has given rap his
church to devote 'himself to the work,
y thus explains the methods of the asso- '
•elation: "No creed or church, you see, is
Iw :concerned .in the hotel chaplain move-

patron of the hotel be ill or need the
services of a clergyman, I may be called
first, but through me any other clergy-
man will come. I am glad to say that I

have said they were willing to conte..
That there is a field for the work is
,roved by the fact that when I first
started there was hardly one call for me
a week. Now there are res many as three
or four a day." It does not appear how
the chaplain's salary is to be paid, but
this notice has appeared in all the large
hotels: "Guests, patrons and friends of

• gyman are respectfully informed that

TRAVELLED FROM WINNIPEG,
.Mother and Two Daughters, in Needy
Circumstances, Bake the Journey
front Winnipeg to Gravenhurst to
Seek Admission to the .t'ree Hospital.
for Consumptives. .
An illustration of the many distressing
cases constantly coming before the man-
agement of the Free hospital fur (Jun-
sumptives at Graven hurstis in point this
week. A week since, the Secretary, at
the head office in Toronto, through whom
all applications should properly be made,
received a long-distauce telephone mes-
sage from the Physician -in -Charge at
Gravenhurst, saying that a smother, with
two daughters, both of whom Wore af-
flicted with consumption, had presented
themselves at the doors of the Freo lios-
pital, hopi ag to be at Duce admitted.
One daughter has the trouble only in a
slight degree, and from a medical p, int of
view is admissible, as sown as room can
be made, The other has the disease in .a
more acute condition, and will need to
take immediate rest until it becomes
somewh'rt quiescent.. Thefamilyare poor,
their railway fares having been paid bya
friend. The mother has been given ens,
ployment on the domestic staff of the
Hospital, and the duu hters will board
in town until there are vacant beds
in the Hospital to admit them. They
canto all this distj.nce poverty stricken,
but in the belief that somehow they
would manage to get admission to the
institution.
Want of money is the only thing, the
Trustees yell us, that is preventing the
inerease of accommodation bevot,d the
eighty patients already provided for. Up
to the present no one has been refused
admission on account of his or her
poverty, but we are told th'tt the want
of funds is preventing the Trustees from
providing the increased accommodation
needed. Indeed, a heavy burden of debt
is now pressing upon them, and must be
promptly met if this work is to be carried
on.
Contributions may he• sent to Sir Win,

AN URGENT APPEAL I.
TO TIIR EDITOR, •
Dear Sir,—I take the liberty of soliciting your al

our need, we find ib necessary to make an urgent appeal to t
Permit me to state that the sum of $150,000 has already
in the two Gravenhurst institutions and property just outside of
which to erect a home for advanced or incurable cases of corisumptio
maintenance of the existing institutions necessitates an expenditure' o'
$50,000 per annum, and to -day there is a debt of $73,000, in the 'form
an overdraft, for which the Batik dcimandst settlement, and so "we nee
the help of all.
Seven years ago, consumption was commonly believed to be incurable.
The Toronto Globe, commenting editorially on bur proposition. to ereet
a consumptive sanatorium, said: "The consumptive is under sentence
of death." It was scan shown, however, by the cures effected in the
Muskoka Cottage Sanatorium, that a great field for useful work had been
opened. But the demand for increased hccommodat ion, and the cry for help
from those who could not afford to pas, became so urgent, that the, trustees
decided to open a second home, which was located within -a toile of tjie
parent institution. Since we first began our work nearly eight hundred
patients have been cared fur ; and the nidi,-ai rer'ords show that of this
number a. large percentage have been completely cured, and others sent }mine
so greatly improved that they were able to return to their regular work..
There is no other hospital for cousuntptiv, s Canada. The demends
are, therefore, urgent. Our board of trur,tees, who had already given 'freely
of their time and money, having faith tha ; the people of nna dada Would come
to their relief, and pressed by the urgicy of the needs of -the hospital,
incurred this debt which must now be pr voided for. \V'e have no endow-
ment, nor money with which to care for r he large number of patients.who
are. now in the hospital and not able to pas a single cent towards their
maintenance and treatment.
In Canada alone 8,000 die of this disease annually, and' it has been•
shown by experience and results of our work that the greater number of
-these could be saved, if promptly treated. One hope—the only lope -is in
the philanthropy of our people and their knowledge of our treed, and we
appeal to you to help us to make these needs so known thiet all may be
impelled to help. Do not let those who cannot give largo amounts feel they
cannot help; all gifts are helpful.
I am, yours faithfully,
Toronto. W. J. GAGE.
