N With the erection of skyscrapers and handsome public buildings. the in- rush of wealthy corporations and the flow of population, the town is rapidly assuming those cosmopolitan ways that are distinctive of world centers where many people eongregate.

All were familiar with life in many of it's phases and they whiled away the midnight hour with anecdote and repar- tee, while slipping tea in true Oriental fashion. At several other tables were parties of theatrical people, through with the nights work who made sport of "John s" broken English There was the odor of Chinese dishes in the air, and the elink of tea cups, while wreaths of
  hemian atmosphere. The screen before the door. the strange jargon of the walters, the furnishings of the room-all was Occidental. The wits who tested so merrily could have easily imagined them selves in San Francisco's Chinatown, in Honolulu or In far away Manila.
