Meeting of Jewish Women.
Mrs. Toni Saphra, who is at present in Cape Town, is deeply interested in questions affecting the Jewish woman. She has given a great deal of her time and resource to- wards improving the conditions as well as the general outlook of the Jewish waman in this country, towards rendering her a more effective unit in the community than she is at present, and al the same time towards obtaining for her recognition of her services actually performed. For that end she has in mind the formation of a Union of Jewish Women in South Africa, such as exists in England, America and many other countries, among the many duties of which will bP that of establishing contact between the Jewish women in all the centres and organisations scattered throughout thi country. She has received substantial support for her cheme in Johanne burg, East London, Port Eliza- beth and other centres.
A meeting to discuss thi matter is being held in the Zionist Hall on Wednesday after- noon, 18th inst., and Mrs. Saphra will out- line her scheme. All women intere ted are asked to be present.

THE S.A. JEWISH CHRONICLE.
MARRIAGE AMONG THE JEWS OF ADEN.
(Continued from Page 319).
names of the ancestors of the bride and bridegroom in accordance with the whims and fancy of the powers that be, and also to describe the names of the married couple by the words "bachelor," "virgin " or other- wise. This very of ten creates a very unnecessary invidious and unpleasant feei- mg, and is a negation of the Jewish view which regards all Jews as equals. The bride- room signs the Kethuba in the presence of the t\\O witnesses, who also append their names. No register of marriages is kept hy the Beth Din.
The bridegroom is then conveyed in a procession, singing and dancing all the v.ay, to the house of the bride. Here the seven special blessings are recited and the hride and bridegroom enter the canopy, when the bridegroom places the ring on the fin<rer of his bride. It is not the custom here to break the wine gla s but to put ashes on the fore- head of the bridegroom. After thi the bridegroom has to go back to his house.
The hridegroom is not allowed to have the intimate company of his bride till the following Friday night, and even then a chaperon has to sleep with the couple till they become better acquainted. o music is employed in these festivities.
These quaint rites and ceremonies were very well uited to the older generation, but times have changed and it is high time, that these expensiw and tPdiou ·erie of fr tivitit's he reduced lo a minimum Lo uit th pur 'e of th poor; but the fact remain that all attempt to minimise them hav b en fru '·
lrated by the incurable tenacity of the Com- munity to stick to it old custom . It i not cu tomary lo end out invitation card and even if cards are issued, guests will consider it beneath their dignity to allend the wedding celebration, unless called by two or more messengers. There is one standard of obligation for all marriage contracts, to wiL Rs. 160/- in case of virgins and Rs. 90/- in all other cases, irrespective of the financial and social status of the parties.
May 6th, 1932.
It i cu tomary for the newly-married couple to have their furnished quarters in the house of the parents of the wife. This very often tends to mar and impair the
" oneness " and unity of soul and spirit that must rule between husband and wife and, more often than not, has resulted in the estrangement of the couple. This is brought about when husband cannot see eye to eye with the parents, whose influence over the wife tends to sway her away from him, or the whole-hearted devotion of the wife to her husband has to be shared by the parents.
The implication is that by marrying, the hu band has entered into his father-in-law's fairnly and that the father-in-law, as chief of the family, has the patriarchal authority over the husband as well as his wife. There are unscrupulous fathers who compel their daughters to leave their husbands. As to the lHactice of the father taking his daughter from her husband, illustrations may be found in the Bible. King Saul took his dauf!hter Michal away from her husband David and gave her to another, and in the same manner Samson's father-in-law took his wife away from him.
