While two wedding PROFESSIONS were
fighting for the road at one of the gates OF
Haukow, China the chairs holding the
brides got mixed, and each lady was
taken to the wrong bridegroom. The
gentlemen, never having seen their wives
before, according to the Chinese custom,
knew no mistake. When the next
morning the mothers Of the two brides,
went to present the usual hair oil to
their daughters each found stranger in-
stalled in her place. Neither mother,
moreover, had any means Of finding out
where her daughter had gone. After
difficult search OF the city the brides
were both found, and then the idea OF
making the best OF things was blocked
by the fact that one of the brides, who
was rich and intended for rich hus-
band, had fallen into the hands of
very poor man. The problem remains
unsolved.
