FL0WER.P0T AS BRIDEGROOM
Unique Ceremony Which Transforms
Chinese Girl Into Full Pledged
and Privileged Widow.

China is still a land of strange Gus
toms, one of the most curious being
the, ceremony of a tlower-pot mar
riage.
When the man whom a Chinese girl
is to marry dies shortly before the
date fixed for the wedding, the grief
stricken bride-elect sometimes takes
VOW never to marry. Should she
do SO, she goes through the ceremony
Of wedding an ordinary fower-pot.
She is now considered a widow, and

band falls the responsibility of main
tanning her. Usually she goes to live
with them.
In many cases, especially where the
family is poor, great sacrifices are nee
essary in order that the daughter-in-
law Gas she is now regarded may be
properly cared for. But the parents
have no option in the matter. And,
actually, they have no desire to shirk
their responsibilities, for the faithful
ness of the "widow" brings great
honor to the bridegroom's family, 1t
being considered quite q disgrace
should the bride-elect not wish to
90 through the ceremony If marrying

being brought to his notice, had a

Old krook.

Krook is the name of a rather prom.
inent but most uncanny character in
Dickens novel, "Bleak House," which
has much to do with the then dilatOry
procedure of the Court Of Chancery.
The system Dickens describes ceased
to exist many years.
Krook is the proprietor of rag and
bone warehouse, where everything
seems to be bought and nothing sold.
He is a grasping drunkard, who even
tually dies Of spontaneous combustion,
that is, he is so saturated with liquor
that he takes fire and is consumed.
In note to this chapter of "Bleak
House" Dickens cites a case Of spon-
taneous combustion that took place
In Paris, France, and which, he said,
was we'll verified by medical authority.
1t was probably from that case that
Dickens obtained the idea which he
made use of in describing Krook's Won
derful death.
