very necessary to remember that your

The Bitter End.

The expression "bitter end" as when
one says, II will follow It to the BIT
ter end" Is nautical term, borrowed
from ships cable. If you have eyer
been on a big ship you must have no.
ticed two big pieces Of wood sticking
up out Of the deck forward, alongside
each other. They sometimes have a
windiass between them, and they are
used to secure the cable that goes to
the anchor. These pieces of wood are
called the bits. When the ship comes
to anchor and the cable is paid out,
all that part Of it which is abaft or
behind the bits is called the bitter
end Of the cable. In storm or in
poor holding ground for anchors the
more cable that is paid out the better
ttas anchor will hold, and when the
captain Is at all doubtful, he pays
out his cable to the bitter end sooner
thah risk any harm to his ship.

chine,e weddlna Customs.

On her wedding day the Chinese
bride is clad in red and carried In q
sedan chair covered with red. Any
person who wishes may turn back the
chair curtains and have look at the
bride. Haysued takes the place of
rice and confetti. The BRIDES hair
is deliberately oiled, and so when the
girls throw haysaeds at her they
stick. When she las reached the end
of her journey she has come to the
home Of her husband and must bear
the candid criticism Of the whole fam
lily.
The weddtlg ceremony is nothing
more than rice affair. Instead Of
throwing 1t, the guests eat 1t. The
Observation-Disclosures eat rice from
each others bowl, then mix the ice
and both eat from the same bowl-and
they are malri
OF course there is a feast, but the
custom males it such that the
American father of a reception-givlng
bride might envy the Chinese father
Of the bride. Every guest contributes
something, and so it costs very little.
