THE BRIDE, PALESTINE 



She is wearing her wedding dress, the white embroidered garment known as the tobe, and the large 

 white veil to match, — the embroidery being all the work of her own hands. The head-dress of coins and the 

 neck chain, — the marks of a married woman — are formed from a part of the money which her father received 

 for her from the bridegroom. The average price of a bride is from $20 to $40. Photo by American Colony
