WHITE PAJAMAS A HOOD0O

(Stephen Bonsal in Golfers Weekly)
1 am rather proud of my pajamas,
to tell the truth. and not averse from
this opportunity of showing them. 1
had picked them up in Nyoto. They
are made of Daimyo silk. and, of
course, rs were from the stores and
could not stand comparison. Still. l
would not have rung this in if the pa
jamas had not furnished an incident
of our mOnotonous voyage. 1 had no
ticed that on the first day out the
boatmen and boys paid a great deal of
attention TO my white immaculates.
and. far from finding this strange. l
regarded it as quite appropriate. But
on the second morning there was a
great hubbub and the boatmen and
everybody looked at me, where, as a
conspicuous object on the outside of
the awning, I was enjoying my morn
ing pipe. Our progress came to a
standstill. There was a tremendous
amount of talking and much Ginning"
between men on shore and men on the
cargo boats. At last T appeared,
and, with evident embarrassment in
formed me that the men objected to
my pajamas.
They haven't exactly struck, you
know, but l am sure we will get to
Pekin a day sooner if you viii only
take them off,
I took them off and reappeared in
a pair of red crepe. Everything went
like machinery for the rest of the day.
Streaming with perspiration, the track
ers, the boatmen and the men with
the poles cheerfully worked on in
friendly rivalry. One hour we made
as many as two miles. You see, white

luck color out here, but red spells good
luck and money. They were now all

Take my advice and array Yourself
/ in red when you travel in China.

A NEW ENTERTAINMENT.
Cleveland Plain Dealer.)


A Cleveland woman who came home
from New York the other day is de-
lighted with a novelty in entertaining
that she came across during her stay.
1t is called a "Chinese QuiZZing Party,
and exercises the mental faculties in
a way that is calculated not to be TOO
severe a strain for hot weather.
If possible the guests are entertained
on the porch of the home of the hos
tess, and everything easily available in
the way of Chinese decorating is utll-
lied in order to give the suggestion
of proper environment. There are
Chinese lanterns, of course, and Chi
nese bowls of flowers on Chinese
stands, and mats and bamboo odds and
ends. Then each guest is given a card
with d Chinese decoration on II, and
a pencil to write the answers 10 the
Chinese quiZZes, and when the hostess
has fired a cannon eracker-not in her
fingers, however-the pencils are
promptly leveled at the cards and the
queries begin. There is reasonable
amount Of time allowed after each
query, but when the hostess lights and
losses out on the lawn a little fire
cracker its explosion is a signal that
time is up, and the next query at once
follows.
Here is the list of quizzes which the
Cleveland woman brought home:
What two letters are most popular
in China? Tea and cue.
What is proof that the eyes of the
Mongolians are open at last? The
Yellow Sea.
Through what? The open door.
When the powers get hold of the
empress dowager what will they catch
A Tartar.
If you're anxious to go to China what
will the government do? Taku.
Then what viii you be in? Trans
ports.
What couldn't the empress dowager
govern. China Proper.
When the empress makes the en-
peror cry what would he like to do?
Boxer.
What sort of great wall are the
powers likely to build in the Flowery
Kingdom? A partition of China.
How is it to be expected that the
Chinese will take reverses and vic
tories? Coolie.
If the Chinese were Spaniards what
would they call the stories of American
heroism in China? Pig tails.
What sort of fruit is generally found
green and always found rotten in
China? Mandarins.
What sort OF an army ought 10 reacn
Pekin the quickest? A Russian army.
There are Chinese politicians that
don't care for Earl Ii, but who would
like what? Old Ii Hung.
A bunch of firecrackers is exploded
to mark the moment when times up, .
and while the cards are being looked
over in order to find the winners, re-
freshments are served OF course a
real Chinese menu is impossible, and
the guests wouldn't sample it if it was.
But there should be tea and chopsticks,
and the prizes must be simple Chinese
knicknacks.
The queries and answers must be
compiled afresh for every quiZZing
party, of course, but for ingenious
minds this would be but little labor.
Anyway, the lady says it is delight
full novelty, and she wants to give a
quizzer of her own at an early date.
