There was a representative gathering af PRINCE LINE FAR EAST SERVICE

Chinese and foreigners to witness the auptials. Those present included special representatives of the President, the Premier, and all the Cabinet Ministers, numerous ex-Ministers and high civil. and military officials, the Civil Governor of Chibli, members of the Consular Body and officers of the Foreign Garrisons, and numerous civiliar friends, föreign and Chinese, of the ex-President's family.

A Jazz orchestra and a military band were in attendance, to enliven the pro- ceedings. The guests were received by the ex-President. Male guests were accommodated in the bagly of the recep tion hall; ladies were seated in the apaci- ous balcony. Numerous electric fans had been installed, and the stage, on which the ceremony took place, was brilliantly illumionted. It is noteworthy that ex President La absolutely declined to per mit any gifts to the young couple, enfore- ing this prohibition impartially from the scrolls which President Hsu intended to present, to the gifts offered by the house- hold servants. It is probably the first time that such a rule has been rigorously enforced in connection with a Chinese wedding.

After the guests had taken their seats, the witnesses, middlemen, and others who were, to take part in the actual ceremony assembled on the stage. Two candles, were lighted and placed on a table in the middle of the stage, behind which the Master of Ceremonies, Mr. Chou She mu, ex-President of the Administrative Court, awaited the arrival of the prin- cipals. The relatives of the bride and bridegroom, including the latter's accom- plished sisters, then came up on the stage. The bridegroom, escorted by two "best men," one of whom was the nighth son of the late Yuan Shih-kai, and the other a son of Mr. Liu, Civil Governor ¦ „ of Hupeh, arrived sometime in advance of the bride. Miss Tong, who brought to her new home in a gaily de- corated motor ear, preceded by a band, was attended by the two daughters of Mr. Yang (Vice-Minister of Finance) and two little flower-girls (daughters of Mr. Henry Chang). Miss Tong wore a pink dress and veil, and carried a large bou- quet. On her arrival on the stage she and the bridegroom exchanged bows. The ceremony then proceeded, Mr. Chon Shu-mu na Master of Ceremonies being assisted in his duties by Mr. Li Kai-ju of the Ministry of Finance, and San Tze-wen, Local Commissioner of Eduen- tion. The marriage contract was read. Then the principals and witnesses affixed their seals, and the bride and bridegroom exchanged rings. Saluta tions by the newly married couple to their parents, relations, the go-betweens, witnesses and guests. followed. After which there were a few brief congratulatory addresses, one of which was read by the Civil Governor. Ex-President Li then made a brief speech. He said that since his retire- ment he had devoted himself entirely to family affairs. He feared that this was not an occasion for great rejoicing; for they were hearing daily of calamities all over the country, and he himself felt that he had much to repent. But he was greatly honoured by the presence of so many friends, and regretted that he had not been able to do more to provide them with suitable entertainment. He felt deeply touched by nil the kindness he had received.

The Band then struck up the wedding march, and the 'newly married pair des cended from, the stage, and passed out of the hall, the guests rising and loudly applauding their progress. Subsequent ly refreshments were served in the bal cony, and the guests had an opportunity of extending their personal congratula tions to Mr. and Mrs. Li.
