In many parts OF Chinatown one may see every
day groups OF little Chinese boys playing ball
ana other games. About half are in American
costume, but many compromise by wearing
chinese cap with a button on top or Chinese
blouse AN these little fellows speak English
huently and their mixture Of Chinese and Eng
hsh is very amusing. Most Of these boys go to
Chinese schools. but there is public school for
Chinese boys, and the pupils astonshed the
teachers at the recent annual examination by
turning in the best papers Of any school The
whole school averaged above 90 per cent and
three boys had perfect papers and received 100
each
TRYING TO OVERCOME PREJUDICE
The younger Chinese who were born here
seem to have a great desire TO overcome the
prejudice against their race. They give gener-
ously for any public purpose, and they like to be
included in any public demonstrations. They
have formed paror of the order OF Native
Sons of the Golden West. and they take great
pride in their lodgeroom and send delegates to
the annual convention OF the order Many OF
the Chinese permit their children to attend
American Sunday schools. and there is a con-
siderable body Of real Christians among the
Chinese who are eager TO suppress the virtual
slavery Of Chinese girls III the quarter and TO

While the japanese makes his eating houses

ranges his restaurants on the plan Of similar

cities OF the old country. Some Of the finest
Chinese carving in this country may be seen in
the fine restaurants in san Francisco. and the
furniture is very handsome. Teak. mahogany
and other beautiful woods are employed. and
many Of the chairs have marble set in panels in
the backs and seats The lavish use Of gliding
on ornaments and carving gives rich effect TO
these rooms.
Many OF the rich Chinese merchants live with
their families their stores. The eXteriors or
these houses are dingy. the only relief being
pots OF flowers in gayly painted balconies. But
t,e interiors are often handsomely decorated and
furnished. although there IS no comparison be-
tween the mode Of life Of a rich American and
rich Chinese merchant. The furniture In the

he allows to remain in the glasses in which his
toddy. lemonade or cocktail is served. which
are more valuable to the barkeeper than the
straw Slices Of lemon. orange and pineapple,
berries. cherries and lemon peel are often used

they were originally served did not make the

The Young Housekeeper r.

"The true advice to give a
young, restless housekeeper is to
put more mind into her work; to
find in her daily occupation stu
dies interesting and important,
which will surely conduce to her
own benefit as we'll as to the
well-being of her household, F"
writes Katharine Roich, of the
"College-Bred Woman in Her
Home" in the Judy Ladies Home
Journal. "She may easily fill her
mind with the apnoyances, the
,disagreeable and monotonous
details, the confinement, the in
terruptions Of the daily life, but
by intelligent use of her time, by
systematizing her work, by sim
plifying her manner Of life, and
by resolutely Selling her oppor-
;tunities she will find time for
favorite studies and for interests
outside of home. Let a woman
grid up her intellect and courage
she nee Is bOth-to the high of
flee she accepts. Let her not be
anxious, but cheerful, striving
every day to make her work
more complete, more perfect, and
to win from the daily care the
refreshment which she needs.
While she may be often weary
she will not then be restless nor
discontented. realizing that she
has secured in her home some OF
the things best worth striving
for. And her friends will see in
her own intellectual life and
character a richness and sweet
ness Of which she may be quite
unconscious. For in the quiet
of her home, with it's thinking,
and planning, and working, the
bearing of many cares, and low
ing, unselfsh ministrations for
Others: there will spring up in
herself sincere, generous sympa-
thies, sound judgments, and eul-
tivation Of mind and spirit which
will prove her best reward.
