A Blushing Chinese Bride.

From the Portland Greg oman.
There was a great connection IN the
heart Of Chinatown yesterday afternoon
A wedding in high life was on the tapis,
and a crowd of 400 or 500 Cinnamon
surrounded the home of the bride, In On
endeayor to catch a glimpse Of the lady
as she went to meet the happy man.
When the girl started down the marrow
stairs, in charge of an old woman, the
curious heathens made q rush for the
doorway, and when she appeared upon
the sidewalk, with her blushing face he
behind a fan, the excitement became SO
intense that the services of the police
man were necessary to clear q way 70
the carriage. Every face In the surg
ling crowd was adorned with q generous
grin, and a GLORIOUS Of Abs greeted
the rare and radiant maiden who was
about to launch upon the uncertain sea
Of matrimony.
The brides dress was OF pale blue hi
long, trimmed with rare old toyah,
while the pantaloons were of six full
widths of yellow sigee. Her hair was
dressed q La Hong Kong, there being
40 bangs of any description, Her
charming little feet were half hidden IN
q bewitching pair Of silk slippers with
the heels knocked of. This vision OF
loneliness was carefully placed in .
closed carriage and driven to the apart
ments Of the bridegroom, who was won
dering what sort Of a companion hls
relatives and friends had selected for
him.
There the scelssnacted on Morrison
street were repeated as the bride was
hurried up another flight of narrow
stairs and disappeared from view, amid
showers Of rice and papers.

You need never realize it."
She bent upon him an inquiring glance

ing a little at his choice Of a subject
Just then, replied: Can | fill it,"
Fill it? 1t is not worthy Of you, but
no one else in all the world can. Mari
an, dear, the place is my heart and
home. viii you take it?" and Marian
thought the face on which the light OF
dawn broke had not one obiectional
feature. .
They had a Christmas wedding at
Mrs. Aliens: Elsie vas bridesmaid, and
Marian's trosseau was the gift Of Mrs.
Allen and her boarders, who persisted
in saving, spite of Marian's contradic-
ton. that they owed their lives to her.

FASHIONS IN WEDDINGS.
The Proper Time to Get Married.

Various influences are at work to
change the fashionable time for getting
married from the spring to the autumn.
New Workers have been accustomed to
mate Just after Easter, and, in the cir.
cles of our acutest culture and biggest
wealth, there are more weddings in 9
few weeks of the early spring-time
than during the rest of the year. These
matches were sometimes a result of the
winter season of dancing and
other festivities akin to filtration in
town, but not usually. AS a rule
they we're the climaXes of engagements
made in the preceding summer. There
is no time like the torrid one, and no
place equal to the hot resorts, SO favor
able to the generation of love. Girls
are never so bewitching as when dressed
in the soft white hummery of July or
August. A merely pretty mortal in q
dark tight costume becomes a beaute-
ous angel when clothed in the sweetness
and light of nainsOok. Every sensitive
and alert girl knows that she can i'm
press a man more elsily and effectually
in summer than in winter. The sur
roundings Of rurality have a little to dc
with it, no doubt, but the main reason
is that she is more alluringly dressed.
Well, the consequence is that about rs
per cent. of the girls who spend the
summer at Newport, Long Branch,
or Saratoga come back b~etrothed-
informally, if not in a positive and
binding manner The wedding days are
accordingly set for the ensuing spring.
Such has been the usage for many years.
But we are a rapid people. We get up
to a higher rate of social speed every
year. Half a year or three-quarters is
too long to wait for matrimony after it
had been contracted for. Broken en-
gagements are too often the result.
Heirs and heiresses too frequently wrig-
gle off the hook after being fairly
caught. lmpatience is characteristic OF
youth. Therefore it is likely that,
within a few years, the betrothals of the
summer will be generally followed by
marriages In the autumn, or at least be-
fore Christmas. That fashion will be
quite numerously followed this year,
and notably in the case of Carrie Aston
and Orme Wilson.-Clara Belle in En-
uuirer.

THE TRUST

The Fidelity Trust and Safe Deposit
company will soon be discharged of the
trust of the Stanton funds" of Phila-

the death of Edwin M. Stanton, secre-
tary Of war under President Lincoln,
citizens of the two places named raised
a fund as a testimonial to Mn. Stanton's
integrity and eminent services to the
country in the Office Of secretary of war
and for the benefit of his widow and
children
Philadelphia contributed $47, 805,
Boston $25, 900 and Washington $io, 900.
The funds were deposited with the FL
