A CHINESE ROMANCE.
THE STORY OF MRS. SING
LEES MARRIAGE.
Seven Years Ago q Fricndiess, Homeless
German Girl, She Welded an Ugly
Chinaman and Now Eats Her Food
with Chopsticks.
(san Francisco Letter.)

One of the strangest life stories In
all the United States lie being lived out
in Chinatown. 1t is the story OF Mrs
Sing Lee. The story of Mrs. Sing Lee
is the story of what fate brought to
a young girl who ventured into the big
world alone, and 1t is story for faith
ers and motheyr. There are fathers
and mothers all the world over who
lose the burden of responsibility too
readily; who willingly, selfishly, care
lessly, let their nestlings fly too soon;
and it may be that fate has made Mrs.
Sing Lees life into a weird poster
picture for such as these. Mrs. Sing
Lee Is German born and convent bred.
She is sweet voiced and gentle man
nered, with something of the pensive
prettiness Of the Marguerite type. Her
skin is creamy white as the cup Of a
Gala lilly, her hair is like pale amber,
and her eyes are as blue as the corn
flower loved by Kaiser Wilhelm's faith

er. The husband of Mrs. Sing Lee is
Ch1nese-sleek, fat, yellow-skinned,
Acknowledged, cat-footed, detestable-
just a common Chinese cook with
blouse and queue, who earns $40 a
week So weeks in the year over the
saucepans In boarding house. Seven
years ago Mrs. Sing Lee had never
seen Chinese outside of a picture
book.
Seven years ago she was Hedwig
Brossok, rosy -cheeked, fair-haired
Deutsches maedchen fresh from con-
vent. She had spent all her life from
the time she was three till she was 16
years old within convent walls, and
she was just come home to her father,
a well-to-do brewer in the province of
Pomerania, and to her young step
mother. Il always feel happy-my
heart so light sing, l dance, | laugh
all day long; I was like-what you
call 1.-THE butterfly or the humming
bird" she says of herself then. But
the stepmother and the daughter from
the convent somehow didn't hit it off
we'll together, and the father, after the
fashion of men, agreed with the step
mother. Then Hedwig Brossok, with
no more knowledge of the world than
the gentle sisters who have forsworn
it could teach her, ran away to Amer
lea. And-as the way was so long and
there was peace in his household-her
father let her go. And now Hedwig
Brossak, as Mrs. Sing Lee, lives Chi
nee fashion," in chill cubby-hole on
Waverly place, between Sacramento
street and Clay, and when the day is
fair she watches from her windows
the people of her race going back and
forth on the cable cars. They never
come her way and she never goes
theirs. 1t is a long way from a con-
vent in Pomerania to an alley in Chi
natown.

EURoPE's ART TREASURES,
Our TIilllonaires Buying the Best OF
the Old Worlds store.


The importation of foreign antiques
for rich Americans increases every
year. The custom house officials will
tell you so, and the bric-a-brac col
lectors echo the assertion. What with
their fortunes and their determination
to own what is best, our millionaires
so far outbid all ambitious European
buyers at the sales that by and by
very few of the really good antiques
will be left on the other side. In eX-
empliilcation of this was recent in
teresting duel played between Lord
Rosebery and Mr.. Berwind Of New
York over desk Of richest inlay once
used by Napoleon. Lord Rosebery is
a rich man, but the American capped
every bid till the earl could not follow
his rival, and reluctantly let the desk
go. The other collectors felt, as Lord
Rosebery asserted, that the Americans
are grasping everything. Benjamin
Cable, the wealthy ex-congressman,
who is preparing to build in Washing
ton a copy of Partisan hotel of the
Louis XIV. period, has purchased for
it's interior adornment a perfect ex-
ample Of the Louis Quinze decoration
in Venice. Though he buys this great
Venetian palace, he proposes to use q
half of it only. All the inside walls
will be carefully sliced out, brought
over and applied to the Washington
house. Mr.. Cable is not experiment
ing; old Dutch and English houses,
Flemish ceilings and English stair
ways are brought over whole or in
part every year.
To propose to her husband that she
would like to import palace is no
unusual whim. Mrs. Forbes-Leith,
whose husband is one of the great
western steel manufacturers, procured
the walls, stairway and floor for the
hall in her splendid house on Park
avenue in New York, from the home
of a Dutch nobleman. Our wealthy
purchased a magnificent room in the
famous Borghesi palace in Rome. His
purchase includes not only the tapes
tries and furniture in it, but the floor,
ceiling, wall, doors, window easements,
chandelier and fireplace. ]. ]. Van
Allen, in his Elizabethan house in New
port. has imported room after room
for the lovely mansion, as he was able
to find what he wanted in ElizabethaD
houses abroad and could arrange to
purchase. So far as the interior shell
of the house goes, it is as genuine and
as old as Charlecote park itself. This
is all perfectly done, because there are
men in Europe who understand to a
nicely the art of dismantling ancient
buildings, packing all the parts and
setting them up again, while as to the
price, our millionaires are able to at
tend to that.

Musical Cats.

1t is not unusual to find cats that
take pleasure in walking up and down
the keyboards Of pianos, often causing
fright to timid folks at night, says a
Wilmington DELI correspondent of the
New York Sun. There seems to be
some fascination for the cats either
in the notes of the piano or in the
thrills sent through the cats by the
vibration of the wires. Mrs. H. t.
Price CT this city has cat that does
not follow the usual way of enjoying
the piano. 1t does not climb upon the
keyboard, but siInply squats on the
piano stool and strikes the keys with
its front paws. Il taught itself the
trick, and at every opportunity makes
music for itself. 1t has not yet at
tempted to sing, but it is young yet
and may try vocal music later.
