CHINESE DINlNC.ouT GIRLS.
They Are Used to Amuse Men at DIM
ners.

When, for instance. "A Chinese gentle
man intends giving a dinner to three
friends he will arrange for it to be pro-
vided on q Hover boat at a certain
hour, and also for the company of eight
dining-out giris-two for each gentle
man, says a writer ia the Century. |
call them dining-out girls. as it best de-
scrihes TO lie their calling. They will
come prettily dressed, their hair done
up in most wonderful shapes and
brushed over with u sort of varnish
which makes il appear like a fantastic
head-dress, carved in ebony. They
will this structure with bright
bower. though the wreaths will be as
stiff as their hair; or they will some
times add jade, gold or feather-inlaid
ornaments. Their faces will be painted
in white and pink-yery artistically
painted, smooth and ~soft-looking; deli
catsly traced; sharp black crescents
will mark their eyebrows. Dainty.
demure dolls they viii appear and
pretty to look upon; but seemingly one
touch would destroy their artistic eff
fects. as a rough hand the radiance of a
butieriiy's wing.
Two of these Young ladies win attend
to each gentleman, sitting slightly back
from the table at each side Of the enter
tanned. They will till his liquor cups,
sip from them and pass them on; pick
out dainty pieces of 1chow" (food) with
caopsticks and hand them to him; crack
jokes. fill and light his pipe and all the
while chat gayly and eat dried water
melon seeds. That is all l ever saw
them eat. Behind each group OF three
a solemn-looking coolie, or waiter. will
stand to fan them all the while. Other
walters bring in food. wine and tea.
change the dishes and attend TO their
wants. The meal will last for a long
time. Eventually all will rise and re-
tire to an outer room furnished with
broad touches covered with mating.
Opium pipes viii be there for those
who care for them and tobacco and
cigars in plenty. The girls will sit on
the touches, laugh, ill the pipes and
still eat watermelon seeds, while the
gentlemen will recline at their ease, en-
joying their society.

Court Decision Affecting Trade
marks

An important decision concerning
tights in trademarks and names of
preparations has been rendered by the
Philadelphia Court OF Common Pleas
restraining George A. Hires, a name
sake of Charles +. Hires. from manu-:
featuring and selling a preparation un-
der the name Of Hires Rootbeer. In
their decision the judges said: 1t is es-
tablished that an article of commerce
known as Hires Rootbeer," by a long
and costly method of advertisement
has attained a trademark and value Pc
.uiiar to itself. The sales have reached
an extraordinary yearly volume. The
respondent Hires, a kinsman Of the
plaintiff, Is about to manufacture and
place on the market for sale a root beer
which in all the eXternals of physical
preparation might be termed "A COM
olet reproduction OF the plaintiffs prep
aration and device. The testimony in
he case, we think, makes it indubitably
clear that the respondents purpose was
to fabrlcate an article of trade which
assembled the plaintiffs article. and
thereby deceive and mislead purchasers.
We find. therefore, that the allegations
Of the plaintiffs bill are established
and hat the temporary injunction
prayed for should be awarded.
