Should be bright red - color is rather muted here.  When I was little, I sometimes heard the bride weeping on her way to the wedding.  And why not?  Often she had never even seen her husband-to-be;  and her mother-in-law?  Chinese men are carrying an ornately decorated bride's chair through a city street.</dc:description><dc:description>Captions for this set of lantern slides from the papers of Oliver and Jennie Logan, American Presbyterian missionaries in Hunan, were provided by their daughter Elsa.</dc:description><dc:format>still image</dc:format></oai_dc:dc>
