SOLD IN MARRIAGE...

TRAGEDIES AND COMEDIES OF CHINESE WEDDINGS.

PARADING THE PRESENTS, EVEN IN THE RAIN.

[BY G. C. DIXON.]

The other day an 18-years-old Chinese girl was sold in marriage, for £30 to a repulsive old man who already had one wife. Her prayers to her father had po effet, and the procession, enlivened by the tuneless music that the Chinese love set out through the streets of Peking for the bridegroom's house. There someone noticed a dark and spreading, stain on the brighthued wedding chair, and on peering inside the guests found the girl

CLEAR OUT THE REDS!

APPEAL BY MR. O. LOCKER-

LAMPSON.

THE GOVERNMENT'S MANDATE.

Addering a great gathering in the Town Hall, ford, Essex, on September 10th at the first of a series of meetings to protest against Russian interference in Great Britain's affairs, Commander O. Locker-Lampson, M.P., said that a cam- paiga to drive out the Reds must be launched forthwith He went on :......

OBJECTION TO MR. BROMLEY,

There was a wild steng lasting about. a quarter of an hour at the Trades Union Congress at Bournemouth en September. 8th, when Mr. J. Bromley, M.P., was called upon to second an emergency re solution pledging support for the miners,

Mr. J. McGurk '(Lancashire Miners) asked if the General Council had gone out of its way deliberately to insult the miners by putting up Mr. Bromley,

There was an uproar at this. The chairman declined to put the re- solution without it being seconded by Mr. Bromley.

Several delegates were on their feet at one and Mr. Richardson, the miners' leader, said the miners had made their protest and he appealed to the miners" representatives to allow the chairman to rule the meeting.

THE HEART AND SOUL OF A COCKTAIL,

Let us be prepared for the next general strike, for inevitably it will come if we continue our foreign policy towards the Soviet.

her Chinese sister.

To begin with, marriage in China is not merely arranged without the girl's consent; she never even sets eyes on the man until the day of the wedding. He may be a slant-eyed Adonis, or he may be a perfect horror with whom marriage would be, for a sensitive girl, almost unthinkable. The average Chinese father, though fond of his children, is fonder still of gold; and no Chinese values girls much anyway. If a rich old merchant or a plundering swashbuckler from the provinces makes him an offer for his daughter, he is not likely to let sentiment stand in the way of business.

And in other ways the Chinese bride

Several delegates speaking at obee suggested that somebody else should be put up to second the resolution.

Mr. Bromley, rose again, and there was a further outburst of disorder, whereupon the President said: ""* This is the order that has got to be observed. There must he no interference with the right of a delegate to speak as a mover or seconder

"These delegates," added Mr. Pugh, "who, do not intend to permit the pro- ceedings to go on must leave the hall." There were more interruptions at this by Mr. Hough and other miners' delegates, one of whom suggested, amid laughter, that Mr. Havelock Wilson should second the resolution.
