In this part Of the Celestial Empire
we arc told by the Chinese Times that
the young women league thems elves
into societies and solomnly vow that
they will not marry. or thatif they
marry they will not live with their
husbands until 0DCv member OF their
society has entered into matrimony.
In accord ance with these VOWS the
brides invariably so back 10

and after remaining for day or SO.
during which time they partake OF
neither food nor drink. they take

are liable to enjoy the society Of
their wives within two or three years
after marrying are. we arc assured.
