AYLETT IS

Supervisor Says Judge
Refuses To Surrender
His Room

County Supervisor Aylett Is on the
war path. with feathers flying. and
has sharpened his Ratchet for Judge
Andrade. Under a full head of
steam he blew into the Mayors Of

eye.
when the Board gave Judge An
drade the room he has now II was
with the understanding that II we
ever needed It he would give 1t over
to us. Now look at the crowded con-
dition of the Offices. We need that
room badly now, and he refuses to
give It up. He Is hanging onto the
post with Quinn. tell you right
now the Judge must give up that
room"
At the time Roard Supervisor Will
son was shifted from the Capitol to
the City Hall, a strenuous discussion
followed at the meeting of the
Board as to how much room Wilson
and his clerks could have. lie made
a statement, giving the total length
of his desks, and told them he could
not get the furniture all in one room.
However, Quinn and Aylett had 1t
back and forth, and 1t was finally
decided to give Wilson the end room,
move Bicknell and transfer Andrade
so that the District Judge could still
remain In the City Hall. As a mat
ter of fact he has an Office in the po-
lice court building, and is seldom
seen in his City Hall Office. wilson's
department is SO crowded that some
of the desks had to be left in the
hallway. and the clerks can hardly
move about without knocking each
other on the shins.

This. at least is the custom in well-to-do
families.
When the wedding day arrives the bride
is handed into a sedan chair, which is mag
nifcently adorned with garlands and arti-
fetal flowers. This is followed by the serv-
ants bearing her belongings. which consist
of clothing, ornaments and jewels. Some OF
the servants carry lighted torches though the
hour may be high noon.
The sedan is preceded by a band of musi-
cians followed by the relatives and guests.
The nearest relative of the bridegroom holds
in his hand the key of the sedan, which is
locked the windows being grated.
When the bridal party reaches the house
1t is met at the door by the bridegroom,
who, upon receiving from his relative the key,
unlocks the door of the sedan, and now for
the first time beholds the bride chosen for him.
1t is not difficult to picture to ones self
the eager expectation with which the young
man opens the door of the stage that holds
her with whom he is destined to live the rest
or his life, and once in a while it happens
that he is so disappointed at the sight of
the woman chosen for him that he slams
the door of the sedan and sends back the
undesirable bride to her parents. Such cases
are rare, however, as the bridegroom forfeits
the money paid to the parents and the pres
ents bestowed upon the girl.
When the bride-to-be alights her future lord
takes her by the hand and leads her into the
hall.
In the hall at one wedding a special table
was reserved for the bridal couple, the guests
being seated at small tables, the men in one
room and the women in another.
Before taking their seats the young couple
bowed four times profoundly to an imaginary
spirit, Tien. supposed to preside over heaven.

pasteboard figures representing slaves, camels

spirits who have the power Of imbuing these
figures with life, so that they may both serve
