There is an old story of the era
By parents as business affairs, with
out consultation OF the tastes AMI
affinities of the two principals. The
father and mother of one Count
Kinski had arranged with some
friends to marry him 10 their daugh-
ter The young people had never
met, and the count never left the
town in Germany where he lived I'M
til the wedding day, and as soon as
the ceremony was over he saluted
his bride with graceful respect, say
ing: Madame, you and | have come
in order TO fulfill our parents be-
hests You have the prettiest figure
in the world and the most admira-
BILE stature have ever seen on

cannot conceal from you that for
long time my heart has been cap
tured by love which l do not know

awaited him at the church door, the
count quickly stepped into it, and
the countess never saw him again.

questions with some inquietude as
to whether his future consort is pref
ty OF plain, red or white, the eternal
Asiatic veil curtaining her real face
until the night of the nuptials.
But even to these customs of time
immemorial there are exceptions,
and even in chilly China, Cupid at
least once in his career saw his bride
before the day of marriage, and
little Chinese maiden of sixteen
heard real and sweet words of love
from the lips of her fiance. The adj
venture is charming, romantic, and
real.
It was in 1895 in town near
Peking. A banker, father to nu-
merous family, had reserved for
some months the hand of his pref
test daughter, whom he called The
Precious, for the son of his best
friend, an opulent tea merchant The
young people had never seen each
other, but their horoscopes revealed
the fact that they would be con-
sume4 with alteration the one for
the other as soon as they had the
opportunity TO meet; and they had
each already purchased for each
other, according to the Chinese GUS
tom, a number of magnificent jewels
for wedding gifts.
II happened that The Precious had
gone with her mother TO the theater
and that hard storm broke just as
they were leaving the playhouse.
There was indescribable disorder
among the crowd, so that almost be-
fore she knew it The Precious was

separated from her party, and, blind
ed by the rain and the wind, the
poor young girl ran and ran, Slip
ping in the mud between the car
riages and scarcely knowing where
she was in the dark night She
finally felt that she was lost. AS
time passed the luminous points of
two lanterns penetrated the shadow
into which she had sunk. She heard
voices. A young merchant ap-
preached in his carriage. He saw a
young woman on the way. He
sprang to the ground. Her toilet
was that of young woman of
wealth, and her veil, partly drawn
back, half revealed her baby face
and eyes moistened with tears. The
Precious tells him her story. How
beautiful she looked TO him beneath
her tears with her delicate face in
the soft creole tints, her black hair
shining in the light, and her even,
white teeth.

But what unspeakable disgrace
for young girl who Is engaged to
be married to be escorted home by
a stranger"
The young man glanced rather re-
gretfully as she conveyed this intel
ligence at her slender and supple
figure and indolent Chinese grace
In that case, my dear young
lady," said he, my mother, who is
in the carriage, will take you home.
My family is one of the most honor
able. My father is the largest tea
merchant in the town.
And my father is the richest
banker" replied the girl.

Then you must be The Precious,
and must be your fiance!" And
such was their introduction.

cruel in the world. In childhood,

only be effaced by immolating her to
