that she was going to read something,
At first everybody objected, but when she |
said it was the history of the origin of
rice throwing at weddings, everybody
agreed TO listen, for everybody, that is,
every woman body. loves anything con-
nected with a wedding.
This was what she read: Fifteen hun
dred years before Christ there lived in
cerer, whose name was Chao. One day
a Chinese gentlemn, Mr.. Pang, came
TO consult him, and Chao, not feeling
well that day, brought in lively tortoise
to assist him, and learned that Mr.. Pang,
Notwithstanding his long queue ana his
satin robe, would only live six days long
err This was sad news to the noble Pang,
but he hoped. He sought out a lady sor-
cerer, not quite so devilish, rejoicing in
the name of Peach Blossom and to her
he told his sad tale. She consulted the
stars. They told the same story but she
brought her sorcery to bear upon them.
and behold his days were made longer
on the evening of the seventh day Mr..
Fang took a little walk and met the dew

find that he was alive, and more angry
still to discover that the fair Peach Bios

So when the wedding morning came,
she ordered that all the servants and ali
her friends should throw rice as they
walked ahead of her, for SHE knew that
the wicked bird, being greedy, would stop

Peach Blossom pass. because he was

maid was assigned to her, and the two

Peach Blossom. But She knew that in
the night the wicked bird would come
again, and so she said to the maid, GO
thou to bed first And the maid obeyel
her and went to sleep. And all night
long Peach Blossom walked the floor, ana
