young woman In San Francisco,
who had become Interested In the Chi

who owned paper in which he wrote
both Chinese and English editorials,
and asked him to teach her some
phrases. When told that the language
consisted of something like small
library or two Of reference books, she
was about ready to bnck out. How
ever, being anxious to learn even few
things about the mysterious people, she
undertook II lesson or two.
The young lady being apt ut learn
ing new things, thought she was better
posted thnn she was and, meeting the
teacher on the street one afternoon, put

she babe him good afternoon" In a
