content to remain cold. They make
almost no effort to overcome it. The

feel cold, and such is their severe
training that they do not really feel
It as we do. The wearing Of some
extra "kimonos' and the use of a
"hibachi' or brazier in which are a
few tiny sticks of lighted charcoal are
the only concessions to winter
weather. With the "hibaehi" they
never pretend to heat more than their

one knows, are built of thin, light
wood, and the sliding panels which
serve for doors and windows have pa

as closed during the day.
The coolies wear thin blue cotton
clothes and are always padding
through the mud. The storekeepers
sit out in their open booths and the
women go bareheaded about the
streets. In the houses of the rich the
