Feast of Seven Stars.

The Chinese girls Of San Francisco ere not
like Chinese girls of Canton. In spite of
their Monaghan traditions of feminine in
feriority and seclusion, they imbibe some
thing Of Americas freedom, and before long
they begin to avail themselves of It's pleas
ures. One feast day in the year belongs to
Chinese girls, and this is the feast CT seven
stars, which was celebrated Aug. %, by the
women of San Francisco Chinese merchant
named Han Ong A correspondent of the
New York Sun, describing the affair, says:
The visitor in one room Of Han Ong's
home found seven girls ranging from sixteen
to twenty years of age seated on the mat
ting in q circle about seven little lamps.
Seven pieces Of food, seven pieces of candy
seven articles of clothing and seven pieces
of money were carefully arranged inside the
circle. Seven is the magic number.
This arrangement is in honor of the sevsn
maidens who vowed to maintain their Vir
girity forever, and, in order to keep their
oaths, jumped into the Yellow river from
which there Immediately rose to the heavens
seven stars-known to this day as the
"Pleiades.'
Han Org's daughters and guests showed no
inclination to join the Seven Seraphs They
said seven prayers, drank seven sips of sam
sue" and then got seven little instruments
which looked like badly made mandolins on
which they played seven tunes.
After these ceremonies there a chatter
ing conversation. the chief theme Of which
was war. Miss Han Ong in the, beginning
referred to the great victories of China over
tent, effort was made to get her to acknowl-
edge that China was the nation that was
whipped, but she stuck to her original as
sertion In a manner so obstinate and so truly
feminine that the attempt abandoned
The sense Of the entire party was that China
had conquered Japan.
This question being settled to the satisfac-
ton Of all, the Spanish American war was
thus discussed:
'Melican man. alice timee jump Spanish
mans gGund. takee house, COW, duck alice
samee evly thing. Mclean man heap smat:
heap sabe cheat"
The last was said with meaning smile, as
though it was the greatest possible compli-
nent, and she continued:
Spanish man no sabe fight. Alice timee
shootee and no kilee; alice same Japan. HUI
lab fob Dewey"
Such is fame The name Of Queen Victoria,
Emperor William, or that of the car of Rus
STA would probably have only puzzled these
untutored Chinese maidens, but when some
one says Dewey" they always add: Heap
sabe fight"
