CHINESE YEAR-C. Y. City. How many
months are there in the Chinese year and now
many seasons!
A Chinese year contains either IL or
13 months. In five successive years
there are seven intercalary months.
There is no distinct name for each
month, A month has always 20 or 80
days. Every year has four seasons,
each season being divided into six pc
riods. named chalk and khe. The first
means a joint and the latter breath.
The seasons are divided in the fol-
lowing manner:
Spring-First chalk, called COM
mencement of spring; first khe, called
rain water; second khe, called excited
worms; second chalk, called vernal
equinox: third khe, called pure and
clear; fourth khe called grain rain.
Summer-First chalk, called COM
mencement of summer; first khe, called
small fall; second khe, called boarder
grain; second chalk, called summer
solstice; third khe, called small heat;
fourth khe, called great heat.
Autumn-First chalk, called COM
mencement of autumn; first khe, called
gathering heat; second khe, called
white dew; second chalk, called au-
tumnal equinox; third khe, called cold
dew; fourth khe, called descending of
frost.
W1nleT-rlTb Ciidik, CdiloQ COHl-
mencement of winter; first khe, called
small snow; second khe, called great
snow; second chalk, called winter soils
tice; third khe, called small cold;
fourth khe, called great cold.
In the course of Is or 16 days after
great cold" comes the beginning of
spring. 1t is said that one of the rules
observed by the Chinese official calen-
dar makers is to never allow the joint
of the winter solstice to occur in either
the tenth or the twelfth month. When
it falls very near the last day of the
eleventh month, then the next year
must be an intercalary one.

memory of the month just passed
into social history. and the first one
of Importance was that of Miss Hess
Pringle and William Morris Houghton'
which took place on the first day OF
the month in East Baldwin. Me. The
news of the wedding will be somewhat
of surprise, for although the en-
gagement was one of the announce
ments OF the summer. the date of the
marriage was not mentioned, and even
the closest friends of the bride in this
city. did not anticipate such an early
wedding. The details of the pretty
ceremony are of interest for the we'd
ding was an outdoor affair and cele-
brated under the shelter of historic
trees in the grounds of the old col
oniaI home, the property of relatives
of the Pringle family. The bride was
given in marriage by her brother.

Mexico, to fill this office She
was attended by her sister, Miss Nina
Pringle, as maid of honor, and Charles
Houghton acted as best man. After
an informal reception Mr.. and Mrs.

in the month. and will preside as hos
tess at a tea that she will give Oct0-

will be a sort of farewell party for
the closer friends of the young army
