veneer for the squalid conditions In
basement, attic and rear which have

is inhabited by the lower elements of

The best and the most snowy fea-
lures Of the Chinese quarter are
maintained to draw revenue from
sightseeing whites. Out Of sight are
accommodations of all sorts for the

are scattered throughout the great

can walk through the district and not
meet a dozen Celestials. yet there may
be thousands hived within a stones

Chinese quarter for whites is the
