Tears at Chinese Weddins.'

A Chinese marriage is a solemn cere'
mony--no talk, no levity and much cry
ing. A feast is spread upon table, t
which the blushing bride is led by five
of her friends. They are seated at the
table, but no one eats. Deep silence
prevails, When finally the mother
starts crying the maids follow and the
bride joins in the chorus, Then all the
bridesmaids leave the table and the
disconsolate mother takes seat beside
the chair of state, where the bride sits
The bridegroom now enters with four
of his men friends who carry the bride
round the room, while the guests throw
rice over the happy pair.
