his ROAD TO BLISS
NOT VERY SMOOTH
Yee Soon Jung Hoped Soon to Be
Benedict, but Found
Many Delays.

Cupid's comet blazed a long trail when,
after a long. hazardous trip from the
Windy City. Yee Soon Jung, thirty-two
years old. a Celestial merchant, and re-
puted to be very walthy, was yesterday
married in the Municipal Court by Judge
Charles s. Bundy to Miss Sirks, an
American girl. also from Chicago. I'm
mediately after the nuptials were per-
formed. the couples location developed
into a deep veil Of genuine Oriental mys-
terry.
Early yesterday morning Yee made
application for a marriage license. and
requested that the marital knot be tied
by Judge Bundy. when the time for the
ceremony was at hand. however, only
the son OF the Flowery Kingdom was on
hand. while his prospective American
beauty was waiting at the church.
Dame Fortune favored Yee Soon Jung,
for as he was about to enter the Met
ropolitan Memorial Church. he spied the
rich orange wedding gown OF his BRIDE
to-be on the steps of the church. where
incidently his endeared one had also
gone to mourn the loss OF the temporary
separation from her Celestial charm.
A second approach to have the holy
sacrament OF matrimony performed,
however, met Judge Bundy engaged in
very serious bit of legal business and
consequently a delay was again caused.
After long. impatient waiting. the cere-
mony was finally performed. When
asked whether or not she loved her for
eign husband. Mrs. Yee Soon Jung, who
boasts of the dignifed age of twenty
years. blushed family under her rosy
complexion, and mysteriously disap-
peared into a taNicab. refusing to divulge
their future plans for happiness.

ICE MAN FACES
PROSECUTION HERE
Northwest Dealer Refused to Sell
Man Who Charges Short
Weight.
AN INVESTIGATION STARTED

A local ice dealer who has practically
a monopoly OF a certain territory In the
Northwest section of the city faces pros
ecution in the Police Court for boycotting
one of his patrons who advised the
Sealer Of Weights and Measures that
short weight was being sold to him.
The case is the first of its kind that
has come 10 the attention of the authori-
ties this summer. Last year five ice
dealers followed these tactics, and for
a time the ice boycott bore a most seri-
Sealer OF Weights and Measures. is de-
termined to put an end to the practice
and to urge the infliction of maximum
penalties upon offenders
The dealer who figures In the case
Is James r. Scott. of so Elm Street
Northwest. The complaining customer
is Oscar McKimmie. Of 700 Jefferson
Street Northwest For some time the
patron had been noticing that the ice
which Scott was serving him was ap-
parently under weight. He became more
and more convinced OF the fact and fin
ally sent letter to SIR. Haskell, re-
questing an investigation of the mat
ter. George A. Howe. Assistant Sealer
of Weights and Measures, visited the
jefferson Street home and concealed
himself, that he might inspect the
Ice a1ter II naQ Deen Drought IN. When
the dealer came up to the house he
caught a glimpse OF the District official
and refused TO sell a piece of ice.
Mr.. McKimmie has since attempted to
persuade the dealer to supply him with
the product. but Scott stoutly refuses
Mr.. Howe warned the dealer that a
careful investigation of the matter would
be made, but being unaware of the fact
that the 'boycotting was punishable by
fine. failed to say anything to Scott
about likely prosecution. Mr.. Haskell
will at once warn the dealer that he Is
liable to prosecution. II he continues
to boycott the McKimmie home, a war
rant will be sworn out for his arrest
Mr.. Haskell intends to give the ice
dealers fair notice before taking up the
battle-ax against them.
The situation is a deplorable one," he
said yesterday afternoon. Il am deter
mined TO bring this boycotting practice
to an end. / want the ice dealers TO
understand that they are violating the
law when they refuse to serve customers.
Then IL they continue to violate the ex-
sting regulations prosecutions will fol-
low and it will be recommended that no
eniency be shown"
There have been numerous complaints
his summer with respect to short weight
zee. Between fifteen and twenty dealers
nave been prosecuted in the Police Court
Inspectors of Mr.. Haskelrs Office are
keeping a close vigil for cases OF viola
ion of the law. They will be speedily
brought into court.

Throwing conventions TO the wind. the
bridegroom wore a straw hat TO and
from the church, instead OF the usual
silk tile.
The crowd Of the GU. 'ous was so great
at the church that spec lal policemen had
to fight them away with clubs to clear
the way leading from the road to the
chapel Fire ropes were also stretched
to keep the multitude within bounds. but
despite these precautions. Miss Croker
had to night her way into the church.
Orange blossoms were rudely plucked
from her person by a mob of souvenir
hunting women, and the heiress was
lucky TO get into the church without the
loss of any more of her bridal gear. For
a brief few moments Miss Croker was

THERE Is COMFORT
In ONES own BREW
Charming Little Tea Box for the
Traveller.

In travelling both at home and abroad,
there is great comfort In your own cup of
tea On the steamer. particularly, you
miss your own brand, and the we'll
versed traveller who is wise in the lore of
creature comforts never wanders far
from home without her tea caddy. 1t
adds greatly to her popularity. too. "Oh.
IL l only had a good cup OF tea is the
general cry on shipboard. and then this
far-sighted woman produces the cheering
leaves, and she becomes the center OF
attraction. and has her little coterie
every afternoon. There are some who
prefer II for the morning meal, too. In
stead Of the usual mediocre coffee with
&C ndensed milk
For this poignant need OF the travel
er, charming little tea box of ma
hcgany containing a small silver tea
caddy and a little tea ball. reproducing
IN miniature a tea kettle, has been put
upon the market. 1t is very simple In

and makes a really practical gift.
There are many places on the CONT
nent where good tea is a real luxury,
and many an unsophisticated American
is astonished when she pays her bill for
what she considers q very simple re-
past. She finds that her cup OF tea costs
more than a very elaborate dessert, and
SO II Is a great economy as well as COM

ENTER YOUR IDEAL MAN" IN
HERALD'S PRIZE CONTEST
!, JULIA CHANDLER MANI.

Ky JULIA CHANDLEH MANL.
Deep down in the heart of every woman
lives an ideal Stored away somewhere
in her mind is a picture. Both are OF
the man she would like her husband to
be whether she has one or whether she
hasn't
have met a few women in my life who
professed to care nothing for men. Either
they were falsifyipg or else they were
not normal women.
In a few of these instances took the
trouble to investigate the matter and
discovered in each case that the pro-
fession of indifference to the masculine
sex was but bravado to cover the lone
liness and disappointment Of heart In
whose deepest recesses was tucked away
the image of some man who at some perl
cd had entered the woman's life.
So don't tell me that you are not In
terested in the ideal of manhood your
imagination has fashioned for you. be-
cause 1 will not believe II.
Appeals to All Women.
1t is because 1 know this question
makes tremendous appeal to every woman
in the universe that 1 have offered 1t as
the subject of a contest.
There is another reason.
and home higher than any other one
thing which goes to make up the sum and
substance OF life.
And does not the standard Of home de-
pend in a great measure upon the charac-
ter of the man who provides for It?
Does not a woman's inspiration come
through her love for him?
What sort of man do you think he
should be? What are the characteristics
of your ideal?
/ do not expect two answers even near
ly alike to this question, for nature made
each of us by different pattern, and
then destroyed the design SO that we do
not see alike, desire alike. think alike,
on any given subject.
What 1 most want is individuality of
expression.
Give Heart Answer.
Write an answer to this contest ques-
ton straight from the depths OF your
own heart.
I want YOU to fee sure that you may
express your ideas without a betrayal
of your confidence. for no names will be
published where this request Is made, |
and all essays on the subject or the
Ideal Man which come TO my desk by |
noon OF Thursday, the 18th. will be care
fully read and considered by three i'm
partial judges.
The first day OF the contest brought
me several letters. proving my original
assertion that no woman has long to
think in order to describe her ideal man
since he lives at all times in her heart.
The first ideal comes from girl OF
eighteen who lives in a rosy mist OF
dreams. believing in her Fairy Prince
with all her heart But here Is her
letter. Read what she has to say for
yourself.
The First Essay Submitted.
TT may be that my Ideal Man is

Vet I believe 1 shall meet him some day.
