New York, July 24 For all of her Irish name, Peggy O'Wing has never seen Ireland, nor for that matter have her father and mother had any Irish ancestry. Peg is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wing Bock of Newark, N. J. Of course one wonders why, if her father's name is Bock she is called O'Wing. The Chinese do things which we Americans are often nuzzled over. It is because her father aDd mother ' are Chinese that her name is O'Wing. That signifies daughter of Wing Wing being Mr. Bock's surname. Though she is thoroughly Ameri canized, some of the Oriental wavs which she has not forsaken, add; charm to the fair Celestial maiden j who is seeking a husband. Peg is, ! according to her manner of Chinese! reckoning, IS years old, but only 17 according to the American method. Now is, in China, is considered an old age for an unmarried girl, End her father has endeavored in every pos sible way to aid Dan Cupid. China men by the score have come to the Bock home and have been captivated by the charm of the fair maid, but site would have none of them, because she has made up her mind to have none His third but an American husband.

It was against the wishes of her father, who is a prominent merchant, that she studied for the stage, for in China the parent of a girl frowns on any attempt of his child disporting her self for The admiration of the crowd.
