easy. Not so In China.
Betrothal and marriage in China
are matters with which the parties
most deeply concerned have generally
little to do. To start with, a girl may
have a proposal when she is three or
four years old; or her parents may,
which amounts 10 the same thing.
Parents employ Il "go-between' or
matchmaker. without whom $50 the
Chinese p%royerb says no betrothal
can be effected.
The 'go-between," armed with a
card bearing the ancestral name and
the eight characters which denote the
hour, day, month and year Of birth OF
the candidate for matrimony, waits
upon the family where the proposal Is
to be made. The girls parents, per-
haps taVorably impressed, institute
inquiries as to the social position and
ancestral standing of the young mans
family. Having satisfied themselves
thereon. that, for the moment, Is as
far as they can go.
A fortune teller, one OF the rascally
band that live on the milk and honey
of the land, is at this juncture called
in. He carefully examines the eight
characters aforesaid, and then pro-
ceeds to pronounce upon a lucky day
for a betrothal to take place.

and all Is fixed save the delivery Of a
