CAIRO TO KISUMU ceremonies are completed the bride and the bridegroom go separately to church where the Eucharist is adminis¬ tered to them. Just before her marriage, the bride is given a steam bath, and her finger nails and toe nails are stained red with henna. Immediately before the cere¬ mony she sends the groom a suit of clothing, and a woman from her house goes to him to see that it is delivered prop¬ erly and that he is taken to the bath. This provision ensures that both start the married life comparatively clean.
