Now we tackled-not without fear-un- known meats and vegetables cooked in sugar. fresh shrimps. mushrooms from Mongolia, young bamboo sprouts, pi- geons' eggs and hundred different foreign tasting messes. Then clean plates were given to us, and bowls of sickly pink sirup, sweet potato and Indian corn cakes of dusky hue were set before each one. These were only crevice 6llers and concluded the first and lighter portion of the repasr. Now came the real substantial meal, where In every dish had an accompaniment ot smaller ones, containing gravies. etc.. in which to dip the morsel taken from the central bowl.
 There was stewed duck cooked with out salt. roast sucking pig, forcemeat balls and chicken; there were soups of birds nest, of mushroom, of vegetables and of sea slugs. There was grilled fresh water fish. which, according to custom, was helped from the top side only, for the Chinese remembers his servant. And. finally, at the conclu- sion the inevitable small bowl of rice and rice water was set before each person.
