Haw this very afternoon and made for a
Washington woman to wear at the I'aunce-

surface llnlsh and of the tone known as
flax blue. The pattern was prlncesse with
very narrow box pleats laid far apart and
running from the bust down well over the
hips in front. Heaviest cream tinted but
ton hole twist was used fo stlth Hat the
edges of the pleats and In the rear these
folds extended from shoulder blades well
upon the skirt. A yoke filled in the top of

the heaviest cream Russian lace , and hack

stitched like the pleats. A llttlo to the left

a bow made of a fringed cream liberty satin

enameled In blue.

DetulU of mi Oriental Murrliiue
Kiiiiftliiu In riillutU'lphln ,
Philadelphia recently witnessed a gorgeous
Oriental wedding ceremony. For the first
time In the history of the Presbyterian
church , pcchupa , a Cbltieue couple were
united In wfdlock to the magnificent strains
of Wagner's "Lohengrin , " It was all so
gtrango aud yet BO realistic. But when at
last Hcv. Dr. J. Mervln Eckels had pro-
nounced the benediction , when Wong John
and Miss I > e Qul N'Oun were one , not n
single guest of the , thousand who wore pres
ent In the Arch Street Presbyterian church
dissented from the opinion that n morn
graceful bride never stepped bc-foro the altar.
The marriage of Wong John nnd his San
Francisco bride was ect for S o'clock. But.
when Ihe squad of police arrived , detailed
to kec-p traffic open on the- street , the side
walks were already filled with curious spec
tators. Captain of Detectives Miller wii.i
conspicuous on the upper fctops of the
church , and solidly the guests filed Into the
edifice. Whenever a purple plcco of paste-
boord wna displayed the holder gained en
trance. Without this open sesame there
was no admittance1.
Hut It was within the structure , a church
v.'llcli ; has seen scores of fashionable wed
dings In Its lime , that real Interest centered ,
after all. A morn brilliant assemblage
sn'dom graced n wedding ceremony. He-
splendent In Its electric illumination Ihu
famous old church seemed lo feel that the
event About to transpire was not an ordi
nary one.
The make-up of the audience , unques
tionably , was unique as few have been.
Orlcnlallsm , and customs ot the Occident
commingled In n manner to speak eloquently
for themselves. The extensive fam
ily of the Wongs , cousins and
uncles nnd further removed , were
assigned special pews , where n good
view of the ceremonies might beobtained. .
However , cvoii the Chinese circle was at
variance ns to dress and appearance. Young
men , faultlessly attired In evening drcsa ,
but with the Mongolian cast of countenance ,
rubbed , elbows AS 1th these of Ihclr own race
who as yet held lo the odd , hut picturesque ,
garments of the land of I.I Hung Chang.
Some had the proverbial queiio very much
In evidence. Others had employed this feu-
lure otherwise and curled it gracefully
around the head ,
Then the women of the race. Trues but
a few of the Chinese ladles were In attend
ance , hut what they lacked In number was
juatlo up.In plcturcaqueness.
The organ now pealed forth Ha melody.
The augmented choir of Ihe church , under
the direction of Mr. MaeGlbboncy , filled the
structure with song. A hush settled over
th ? assemblage. It was realized that thq
momentous hour had arrived.
It was now that the unexpected happqned.
Gracefully entering the southern doorway ,
n dainty llltle woman In modern drcu-s and
leaning ; on the arm of another walked up
the aisle. The magnificent bunch of whlto
roses nestling against her corsage made a
striking contrast to the brown colored tallor-
rctde gown. Her hat was a picture of the
milliner's art. It was Miss Lee Qul N'Gun.
not arrayed In silks and satins of the Orient ,
but quietly , tastefully dressed In the fashion
a' Iho day.
And the groom ? Immediately following
Mif-s Qul and her companion cacnc Wong
Jonn , not perturbed by the scrutinizing
glances , and conscious to the full that ho
had a serious part to perform. More than
ordinarily good-looking , Wong John might
well consider himself the conspicuous object.
KTON JACKETS AGAIN ,
u&ldo from the Interest which centered In
the bride.
For Miss Lee Qui N'Gun , after all , was
the attraction.
When the bridal party reached the altar
Rev. Dr. Eckels stood ready to receive them.
In a few preliminary remarks ho addressed
the audience in explanation of the unique
event. Ho told once more Ihe alory ot Wong
John's wooing , how correspondence und
photographs had been exchanged , how Wong
John's Sunday school teacher and Iho Golden
Gate mission school had been concerned ,
The riles of Iho Presbyterian church were
performed , and when ttio couple walked up
the church alslo a more outspoken apprecia
tion than before could scarcely bo sup
pressed. z
In Iho lecture room of the church a recep
tion was hold Immediately following the
ceremonies. Hero Wong John and his hand
some , blushing wife received congratula
tions. Beautiful decorations abounded , the
Chinese colors mingling with these of thn
United States , The wedding repast was un
excelled. The reception continued for
several hours. When It was all over Mr. and
Mrs , Wong John drove to their South street
home , where the first Christianized Chinese
couple In the city will reside.
