ADVICE TO AN ARAB BRIDE.
When an Arab damsel gets married her mother gives her the following advice for securing future happiness “ You are now leaving your nest to live with a man with whose habits you are unfamiliar. I advise you to become his slave if yon want to become the mistress of your husband. Be satisfied with little; endeavour to please him well, and watch over him ; for hunger begets anger, and sleeplessness makes a man cross-gi’ained. Be dumb as to ,his secrets. Do not appear gloomy when he is merry, nor merry when he is sad, and Allah will bless, yon.”
