THE SIMPLE DAILY or1rF1r
A Cbinaman,s every dav outfit is hpanti
ful in it's sinnlicitv II consists of a nair nj
loose trousers almost as short as nantelette
and entirely wanting in frills, an undershirt
a short coat that is called Chan Sa Tien. q,
something that sounds like that. and an over
coat known to the initiated as. n Foo Sol Sam
The boots, called TEN San Hi. toeether will
the hat and hosiery, complete the wardrobe
The undelshirt does not differ materially
from that worn by native New Workers. anC
is usually made of Dongee silk Chimes,
dudes when not working in their laundrie
wear finer grades of silk The lono coat i
only worn on festal occasions by the com
mon classes of Chinese. The workinomer
usually content themselves with the shor
coat. The long garment costs from $40 +,
SIS, depending upon the wealth and ranl
of the wearer. The lowest priced article i
made of coarse silk and is usually blue O,
black in color.
The short coats sometimes cost 5000. bu
the variety usually seen on the streets ca,
be bought for from IS to SIS. If is made ri
silk and is often given a vaternroof olos
and does double service as coat and nm
brella.
The sandal shaped boots are made of clotl
and have soles an inch thick. These sole.
are fashioned of LAYERS of cotton pressed to
eether. and are as impervious to moisture n,
sole leather. The tops of the shoes are EN-
broidered. and they sell at from 81. so to s5(
pair.
As none of the coats have sleeves the selec
ton of a suit of Chinese clothes is botl
simple and satisfactory The cpstome,
simply fits the garment around his neck anf
takes care not to select one that is not too
long for him and the task is done
CLOTHING AccoRD1Nc; TO RANK
Chinese boots have no rioht or left and tbt
only care in choosing a pair is TO see tho,
they are not too tight or SO loose as TO rub ur

tenn in selling their clothing by the whole
sale. They have number of little wooden
manikins which are dressed in the various
costumes offered for sale. These are the
samples and from them the choice is made.
The higher grades of clothing are not
offered for sale indiscriminately. They are
the marks of rank and can only be worn by
those entitled to the honor. I am not certain
about this point, but | understand from Mr..
