CHINESE MARRIAGES,
Customs le Chinese marriages in the Colony amongst the Straits-born Chinese are somewhat different from the customs lo Obina. In China, a man can hava only one wife and the other women would be slaves or servants of the wild and if a Chinaman went through a form of marriage with two women in China during the life-time of the first, he would be as liable to punishment by low as a European who com- mitted bigamy. Lot, in the Straits, the position, of affairs is rather diffutest because although they only marry one wife really and the other wives are called lafa-ior wives, the children of
