Etiquette in tho Orient.

II there be enc thing more than an
Dther upon which the Chinese prids
themselves 1t is upon their poiiteness.
In spite Of the taree or four inches
which he lacks to make his height
equal to that oil the average American,
q Chinese official in full costume car
ries himself with great dignity and
self possession and makes an impos-
ing figure. In this respect he owes
much to his long dress, but more to
the patient study OF correct carriage.
There is not a single awkward move
ment as the Chinese gentleman bows
his visitor into the house or supplies
him from his own hand with a cup OF
tea, which Is indispensable to an in
terview. Not until his guest is seated
will the Chinese host venture to take
up his position on the right hand OF
the former; and it, in the course of an
excited conversation, be should raise
himself, however slightly, from his
position, 1t Is the duty of the other to
do the same. No Chinese gentleman
will sit while his equal stands. Occa-
be over respectful to a visitor, SER
want will bring in cup of tea a cup
In each hand. Then, standing before
his master and the guest, he will cross
his arms, serving the guest who is
to the right, With his 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 recip-
lent Of the tea. 1t is a token Of fldel-
ity and respect.
This tea is not intended for drink
ing and is called guest tea" 1t has a
higher mission than to allay thirst.
Unfortunate the man who losses his
off before ten words have been ex-
changed. The Oriental will stamp him
as barbarian. The mission of the
tea is toNbe used by either party as a
signal that the interview is at an end.
A guest no sooner raises the cup to his
lips than the voices of dozen shout
to his coolies to bring his chair. So.
too, when the master of the house Is
prevented from longer acting as host
he raises the cup to his lips as If to
drink the tea and Immediately the
guests chair is called for.
Strangers meeting in China may
freely ask one another their names,
provinces and their business prospects.
1t is always considered compliment
to an old Chinaman to ask him his age,
but the middle aged do not as a rule
care for the question. and their an
swers can rarely be depended upon.
1t is ALSO good form in China to ask
the number and sex of a mans chill
dren, also if his father and mother are
still alive. His wife, however, must
net be mentioned, even in the most
indirect manner. Friends meeting,
either or both in sedan chairs. stop
their bearers at once and get out with
all possible expedition. The same rule
applies to acquaintance meeting on
horseback.
