"Marriage is truly a lottery to the Chinese girl, for she knows not what she is getting until she is actually married," writes Sui Sin Far, in Lu dies' Home Journal. "Sometimes it is a kind, good husband, on amiable mother-in-law, and much comfort; sometimes it is a tyrant, a mother-in-law who is eternally scolding, and a lvfe that is a weariness to both flesh and spirit. The ceremonies of be trothal and marriage cause much trouble and anxiety. The young man's family begin the negotiations. They engage a go-between to call on the girl's family and tender a pro posal of marriage. If the young man is considered eligible by the girl's parents they consult a fortuneteller, who decides whether the betrothal would be proper. If his decision is favorable the go-between is given a card on which is marked the hour, day, month and year when the girl was born. This is delivered to the young man's family, who in their turn consult a fortune-teller. If he nlso pronounces favorably a festival is held by both families, the betrothal contract is signed, and the bride groom makes a present to the bride of a pair of bracelets, but neither he nor she is present. The betrothal, however, is not considered binding until a pasteboard card has been in terchanged by the families. The bridegroom's family provide two of these cards, one having a gilt dragon on its face, the other a gilt phoenix. The phoenix card is retained by the young man's family as evidence of is engagement, while the dragon card is kept by the girl's family. The betrothal is then complete."
