Chinese Children.
Copyright lisa. by n. Proctor Gamble Co. Cincinnati,

One evening there will be about four
miles of little lanterns sent tionting down
the great river in honor of the dead. Or
there will be the baking of the glutinous
rice cakes, accompanied b. many curious
cercmonials. And in it all the child takes
his part. and his elders are very kind to
him and never bother him with cleaning
up or putting on clothes to go out. He
strips to the waist or beyond it i'll sum,
mer; then. as the winter comes on, puts
on even another and another garment till
he becomes as broad as he is long.
At nighttime perhaps he takes off some
clothes, but they are all the same shape,
all quite loose and easy. Then lie never
need be afraid of breaking anything or
spelling anything. for most things are
put away, and Chinese things are not like
European. The shining black table, for
instance, can have 4 hot kettle stood up
on it and be none the worse.
No one ever tells the Chinese child to
hold himself up or not to talk so loud or
to keep still. so he shouts and wriggles
to his hearts content. And European
