She must not even dress herself; indeed, this would be difficult, as her hands are imprisoned in bags, that the dye of the henna may not be rubbed off.
166 Chips from Tunis: On Tuesday evening the bride is dressed in her finest clothes, but is closely veiled ; she is placed in an arm-chair, which is set upon a table against a wall, and there remains for some hours without speaking or moving. Her relations and friends surround her, and the bridegroom is also admitted with his family ; one of her... oldest relations then raises the veil, and extols her beauty, praising each of her features separately, and then adds, " Well, all this is nothing compared with her voice, her wisdom, and her talents, " which are likewise enumerated. Then begins an harangue upon her moral qualities and virtues, the women at each pause calling, " You, you, you. " When this elabor- ate eulogium is finished, the young girl is taken down from her elevated position, the veil falls, and reveals her charms, and her bridgroom is allowed to embrace her ; he also puts a piece of gold into her hand, and this example is followed by the relations of the two families, who approach, and place the money on the forehead, cheeks, nose, and chin of the bride, who, according to the rules of the cere- mony, still remains immovable.
