She 10 Steadfast In Affection For Her
Children.
The Chinese mother is very fond Of
her children. She is happy in their
company and spends much time car.
Ing for them. In Chinese family the
birth Of child is greater event than
with other orientals. Long before the
child is born the mother performs rites
and ceremonies to propitiate the gods
that her child may be a boy. After
birth the little fellow is wrapped in
old rags and in winter is sometimes
put in bag of sand sewed close
around its neck to keep the little one
warm. Great rejoicing follows the
birth IL the child is a boy: otherwise
there Is an air of chastened disap.
pointment. But good Chinese parents
make the best of their little lassies,
becoming very fond and even proud of
them. have known more than one
Chinese father to exhibit his toddling
wee girl for approval. though always
with the customary national verbal
depreciation Of what belongs to one.
Indeed. this evidence of excessive
courtesy may be found everywhere in
this strange land. 1t is good form to
Willy what is mine and laud what is
thine. MY good for nothing family
are all still troubling the earth with
their presence. How is your honor
