WEDDING REFORM IN CHINA
Old Customs and Elaborate Ceremonies
Have TO Great Extent Been
Done Away With.

( Forty years ago 1t was a very tryin,
ordeal to attend a wedding in Chin;
on account Of the fearful din made b,
the band Of musicians with their Gym
balls, flutes, flies, drums etc, to say
nothing Of the loud popping of fire
crackers and skyrockets
All this is being rapidly changed
The band is still employed, but is only
allowed to play now and then. when
desired. New China celebrates the
nuptials Of her sons and daughters
at the home OF the bride. instead OF
as in the old days, when the young
lady was taken in a closed sedan to
the house of the bridegroom.
On one particular occasion the spa.
cious hall was tastefully decorated
with cedar chains wrapped around
the large wooden pillars with strings
of colored paper and flowers. A raised
platform was at one end OF the hall,
on which stood piano and AN or.
gan.
The bride was attired in the red
silk robe and skirt as was the Gus
tom in former days, but it was a relief
to her not to be blinded by the heavy
red veil The mother read the mar.
riage ceremony from a paper and
placed It on the table, where it was
signed by the bridal couple, the two
kinsmen and herself. Congratulations
were then offered to the bride and
bridegroom by formal bows. All the
old prostrations Of past years have
gone by forever
The next thing on the program was
the presentation OF written congratu
latory papers. The first was presented
by a gentleman, but following him
came four ladies with papers written
in beautiful literary style by their own
hands and read by themselves.
Lastly. about twenty little girls from
four TO eight years Of age, ornamented
with large satin rosettes, stood in
row before the bride and bridegroom
and sang several verses of a kinder.
garten ballad. The bride and bride
groom, who had stood all this time on
the platform, then stepped down to
leave the hall. Rehoboth Sunday Her

WOMAN GOSSIP ANALYzED

The desire among women to gossip
is a savage instinct, says Elizabeth
York Miller, an author. She says the
reason Is purely sociological, and
that women gossip simply from
fondness for excitement Mrs. Miller
figures that the tendency to gossip is
something that was handed down from
prehistoric times. 1T is as necessary"
said she, ''for the average woman to
gossip as it is for her to eat and drink,
and it Is the Womanly woman who sits
at home and sews who Is the worst
offender. In the ancient days when
women felt gossipy they threw rocks
at one another or at their husbands.
Today they sit in drawing rooms or IN
humble cottages and diSparage their
neighbnrs. So expert is tine talk of the
charming woman gossiper that the sly
thrusts at first are i1pf ,avparent. The
only women who are immune from,
gossip instinct are tlless W4so engage
In hard mental wsSk all day. Suffra-
gettes do not gossip; they are too
busily occupied. 1t is essentially the
woman who has nothing to do but sew
and read who possesses the primeval
instinct to u high degree"

great harbors of the world. Hills Will

harbor Is that a captain may sail his

Already steamship lines are in opera
