Miss Pearson affected demure little

Miss Pearson's mind the fact that her
laundryman was man. and her manner
towards him became somewhat reserved.
That was good for beginning. He wrote
her a letter-she took 1t for a laundry
list, by the bye-in his native tongue, of
course-in which he declared his passion.
He knew she could not read II, but II
was an outlet for his feelings.
He got his Irish lodger to address the
envelope. As II stood she could read
the outside. and lie the inside, so that
made 1t even.
1t was rather pity that Fab Chung
could not have learned q little more OF
the customs OF his adopted country
earlier. The knowledge might have
saved him from making two great mis-
takes.
The FIRST lay in the fact that he had
not curtained his laundry window.
Strollng down the Bowery one bright
afternoon and enjoying 10 the fun the
rush and roar ot life in that BroadHay
of the liver class "Gothamltes,' Miss
Pearson was amusing herself by count
ing the different Municipalities repre-
sented in the shops and 50 on. BE

street only she had passed German

Now, the ways of the American
laundry women are not as the ways or
the Chinese laundrymen.

clothes by dipping her hand into a

He began wasting his substance on
