tory today in the triad Of Harry f.
Surlair, wealthy ell operator and

Chinese Girl
Seeks to End
Marriage Custom
Ry United Press Leased Wire

PEKIN, March II. - A striking
example Of the conflict between
China s adopted Occidental legal
codes and the inherited customs OF
her people is furnished by ease
now before the Pekin district court
i'll which Il girl, betrothcd before
birth is striving to avoid marriage
with II man she dislikeS.
Twenty-thrce years ago two fam
lies. the Hans and the Tsacos, were
neighbors in the small town of Tsai
lu Chen near Pekin. In the fash
ion known to all Chinese for cen
turies, these families pledged their
friendship by agreeing that II the
next children born to both families
were of opposite sexes they would
be betrothed.
To the Hans family was born q
daughter; to the Tsaco family, a
son. The betrothal accordingly tooik
place.
rs the years passed, Miss Han
grew into a clever Industrious girl
attractive IN all respects and of con
siderable literary accomplish
ments. On the contrary, the heir
to the Tsaco nam" and property
found no interests beyond the home
farm and, III the eyes Of Miss Han,
was not only uucutured mentally
but uncouth in appearance.
The time drew near fer the mar
riage. Miss Han 5 father died, and
thus removed one of the great bind
ing ties of the Chinese family. At
once she cXcrted pressure to obtain
release from Il promise i'll which she
had had no part.
But the bond had been signed.
The Tsaco family was obdurate.
Only one solution appeared. and
that has been taken through refer
encc of the marriagr contract to
the courts.
