conversion Of England, from the scene
in the market place at Rome, Wien the
English slaves attracted the attention
Of Gregory, 70 the meeting OF Angus

Thanet. the baptism Of Ethelbert at
Canterbury, the conservation Of Au-

much OF incidental interest. and both
the dresses and scenery have been
carefully studied and copied from ear

sketches and photographs taken on

acters were played with much earn

A CHINESE WEDDING.
Everything Connected With the Cere-

Everythinl; Connected with the Cere-
monies Is Decked In Red.
The Chinese place a significance upon
every color, and in connection with a
wedding red obtains deep rooted,
mysterious Importance, the next bridal
color in value being gold. At be-
trothal the bridegroom elect sends his
sweetheart pair of bracelets fastened
together with riece of red ribbon or
cord. The bride and bridegroom drain
two wine cups at the wedding, which
are also connected by red cord. In
northern China the attendants wear
tall felt hats, and each hat has a red
feather stuck upright in it. The attend
ants also carry the wedding presents.
A sedan chair bears the bride herself
In south China "a sedan most wonder
fully gilded is used by the wealthy
classes, and it is decorated with what
appears at first sight to be brilliant in
laid stones, but which are in reality
the glossy feathers of the kingfisher. A
handsome cloth of glowing red with
trimmed border is also thrown over the
chair.
In the case of the poorer cl~-es red
is also the prevailing bridal color, and
a chair of ordinary carved wood, paint
ed a bright red, is used. Above the door
of the chair kind of charm is placard-
ed or hung upon a red cloth. The chair
itself is sent by the bridegroom, accom-
panied by what corresponds to our best
man. This functionary brings with him
a letter written in yellow or gold upon
red paper, praying the lady to enter
and take her place.
Men dressed all in red and carrying
red parcels containing the presents fall
into the procession. Other bearers carry
boards and banners. inscribed in golden
letters upon a red ground. These ban
ners tell the pedigree of both parties,
Behind the bearers come the other at
tendants, with long poles, on which are
hung very handsome lanterns. The

and her dress regal gold and scarlet
