CHINATOWN BRIDE FAILED {; N ; m u * “ pecle<1 his lelrotll ' d
TO APPEAR FOR WEDDING,
FEAST WAS PREPARED
New York, Dec. 27.—The twisted
Streets of Ch'natown, which have
pulsed with subdued gossiping since
Mildred Wenn, 19-year-old Chinese
“flapper,” ran away from her Wash
ington home Friday, almost on the eve
of her wedding to George Num Lee,
acion ot one of the best Chinese fami
lies of New York, had some added
thrills yesterday.
The first came when word was
passed that Miss Wenn had returned
to her home and that George Lee—
whose father is president of the On
LeongTong in the United States—
had rushed to her on the first Wash
ington train yesterday morning
Then, along about noon, aUmond-
eyed inhabitants of Mott Street,
congregated about the Lee home at
No. 32, saw two Mack, shiny ward
robe trunks unloaded and Tugged up
five winding flights of stairs by
truckmen of the Canton Transfer
Company.
Boldly acrots the end of each
trunk in brave red litters was
legend “M. Wenn.'”
The trousseau had arrived, but still
no bride. A little while later L>
Quon, tong chieftain and prospecti'
father-in-law, hurried from the house
and according to neighbors—took
a train for Washington.
This gave added sweep to rumors
that the Americanized Mildred Wenn
had put her tiny foot down on the
Chinese tradition that a bride must go
to her husband and had delivered an
ultimatum that there would be no
wedding unless It was solemnized in
her home in Washington.
The elder Chinese of Mott and Pell
strees, masking whatever emotions
they may have had behind impertur
bable faces, shook their heads and
kept stony silence before the little
army of reporters that Invaded their
city within a city.
Members of the younger generation
were less reserved, but still could
add much to the story of the disap
pointed bridegroom and the wedding
feast. All they knew was that Gi
had beeft spent on jewels for the bride
sad for a wedding feast, but that the
jewels hal not yet found a place on
Mildred Wenn’s comely figure and the
wedding feast was still unserved.
There were several stories concern
ing the cause of the mixup, but no
one could say which was the true
story. One was that Miss Wenn had
merely gotten mixed on her dates,
having figured by the Chinese
dendar instead of the Gregorian
calendar. This would explain why
she did not arrive for the wedding as
are three days’ variation this
in the two calendars. But it
not explain why she ran away
from her home.
Another story, taking account of
r sudden disappearance, has it that
iss Wenn a thoroughly Aitieri-
nizeil “flnpi>er," with bobbed halt
id occidental turn of mind—had

Thursday, at which time plans for the
hearing will be outlined and the re-
of the coroner’s Jury that con
ducted the inquest over the headless
bodies of Watt Daniels and Thomas
Richards will be discussed.
Citizens were gathering on the
reet corners last night discussing
re arrest of two of their former law
officials. The arrest of the man who
had been their mayor until he re
signed last August came as a com
plete surprise. Dr. McKoin was thorn

Still a third bad it that she was

band instead or wait

—that Miss Wenn had not been fore
run, into marriage with a ma:
not even know. They met many
months ago at the Chinese legation
in Washington, went through all the
phases of an American courtship, and
became engaged a year ago.
Since that time, say friends of
George Num Lee, they have kept the
mailman busy delivering love missives
which discussion of plans for their
life together In New York figured
prominently.
These plans included a modern
home in Chinatown and joint student-
at New York University, where
George Num Lee already is well
the road toward becomin
engineer. So the question Teally is
whether George Num Lee and
Mildred Wenn are to be married.
juestion is where, when and how
the marriage will be solemnized.
Meanwhile the gorgeous red rooms
of the On-Leomg-Tong, with their dec
orations of poppies and gold dragons,
yawn emptily for the wedding guests;
the wedding feast reposes In cold stor-
; the wedding jewels wait in Le«
Qonng’s strong box—and Chinatown
