JOHN cHINAMAN'S HOUSE.
Must Be Built az a Special Time and
in Special Way to Be
Right

When a Chinaman has decided to
build himself a house the frst person
he consuIts is not an architect. but a
sort OF wizard
This individual examines the site
and marks the exact spot for the front
door In China front doors must never
face due south. though partly south
ern aspect Is highly desirable only
the houses Of the emperor and OF high
governing officials may front due
south.
The wizard. or geomancer. next pre-
scribes the exact size Of the front door.
An inca too much or too little might
have disastrous consequences.
A screen OF wood or OF bricks must
be erected about three yards in front
Of the door. This is to keep out any
evil breath Not human breath. nor
malaria, nor bad odOrs; but some mys-
teriOus and fatal something which 10
only to be kept out by that screen
The wizard next locates the spot for
the kitchen fireplace This also must
not face south. because the south rep
resents IRE. and the kitchen fire and
the south FIRE. working together. would
b 50 powerful that the house would
Just naturally burn mp
Having settled the question OF place.
the wizard figures out a time when
work may ne begun with some degree
0f safety. For instance. IL the earth
god should be az home VIXEN the work
men began digEinS they might stick a
spade into his august Uranium and
then there would b. the devil 10 pay.
The family living in that house would
die out
The wOuld-oe builder must also ind
ont whether il Is a year when he may
with safety begin anything There are
lots OF these unlucky years. \ man
must not be married. for instance.
when his age Is - or 20. or any even
number.
Having picked out favorable year.
Jonn must next consider his two lucky
months. for there are only two out Of
the l. which are favorable to his IN
certaking new things Then his yellow
road days or good ones must be deter
mined There are more black road
days than yellow ones. ~ the auspi-
eious moments for starting his house
are finally reduced to a pretty limited
number
But that isn't all The lucky days Of
the whole family must next be figured
out. compared with Johns own yellow
rosf days and the result boiled down.
The proper moment for putting the
front door in place. for building the
kitchen fireplace and - on are then
decided on. and. after waiting perhaps
several months for the auspicious day
to arrive. John can az last begin work.
