and then we dressed and went to the wedding. [[underlined]] The [[/underlined] wedding is correct, for Louise Egbert and Ran Sailer of our faculty were uniting their fortunes. The ceremony was performed by the bride's father, who with Mrs. Egbert had come from America for the purpose, and Mr. Bentley of our faculty, with whom Ran lived last year. They had much form, and did things in quite the proper way. All Peking was invited, but only half of it came. The flock of students which was expected scar[[strikethrough]]e[[/strikethrough]]cely more than a handful. From the standpoint of those who thrill to such conventional performances it wasa very "lovely" wedding. I am glad we were married as we were. They get a week off for the Western Hills. 

Not staying for the reception we went to look for rugs and lamps. Ourchase brought us back to our house about seven, when we found a note from the girls that payday would be celebrated that evening and that bottle had been put on our ice. After supper we took it and went over to Clove Alley. When we had finished the celebration and the bottle we returned to our home a bed. 

One of the exciting events of the day was the delivery of our new bookplates. They are miniature replicas of the original rubbing of the old Chinese tile from which our family crest was taken. I added the names, Yun Tzu the Chinese, and the Yung Hsing company made the cuts and did the printing. We are well pleased. And that is the week.
