Let's Clear FOE TERD QY THE FIER + ea i." A tween," whom both sides pay, to se- cure g bride for his hopeful. heir; though sometimes it is = arranged through the parents. The boy and girl do not see each other before mar- riage. On the eve of marriage the father sends make-believe slaves, hired for the occasion, to kidnap ths bride. It is usually a good-natured capture, as the bride is, by custom, waiting the loom in her father's house. She is arrayed in her best, and, by her fa- ther's instructions, the *'slaves'" find her -demurely passive. She makes na outery when seized. The marriage feast continues never ess then two days. They give money for the wedding present in Cheung Sah. They don't send it in advance. They wait and see, calculate almost to a nicety how much of an outlay the groom's father has made--and then each man, according to his' menns does his part towards reimbursement, The money is wrapped in red paper, the amount is not marked, there are no cards attached; and. the bride, wha receives it at the door, mixes it in with all the others, and once there, shuffled, its donor might be anybody. Isn't that common sense ? A By-and-by the veung groom gets into business. He is successful. He goes to Canton or some other city, If the wife that was" picked for him = proves congenial he may learn to love her. When such is the case John Chinaman seldom marries the second time. But if she turn out an invalid, or shrew, he is at liberty to choose one or more succeeding wives. 'The first wife, however, remains boss of all = his children. With theln her word is law.
