POLITE TO A FAULT.
Cinnamon of High Class Are Court
eous to All About Them.

rom tNB lineage ALIOulG&S
If one gauges national refinement by
the mien and carriage of its people, the
Chinese are entitled to a high place among
the children of men. A Chinese official
in full costume is mOss imposing fig
ure and carries himself with great dig
nifty and self-possesson, albeit ne is us
ually some four or five inches shorter
than the average American. In this re-
spect he owes much to. his long dress,
but more to the patient study of an art
now almost monopolized among Ameri-
cans by aspirants TO the triumphs of the
stage. There is not a single awkward
movement as the Chinese gentleman bows
his visitor into his house or supplies him
from his own hand with the cup of tea
which is Indispensable 10 an interview.
Not until his guest is seated will the
Chinese host venture to take up his posi-
uion on the right hand of the former; and
if, in the course of an excited conVersa-
ton either should raise himself how
ever slightly, from a sitting posture, ii
is the bounden duty for the other to dc
so, too. No Chinese gentleman will sit
while his equal stands. Occa sionally
where it is not intended to be over-re
spectful TO a visitor, a servant will bring
in the tea-one cup in each hand. Then
standing before his master and the guest
he will cross his arms, serving the guest
who is to his right, with the left hand
his master with the right. The object
of this is to expose the palm-in Chinese
the heart-of either hand to each re-
cipient of tea 1t is token of fidelity
and respect
