 ones' Great Festival.
 Except at the Chinese New Year which comes in February, it Is yer. hard to catch a glimpse of children in China. Little beggars will run beside you for miles to earn cash 2 copper coin with a square hole in the middle of 1t. worth the twentieth of 8 cent. but children who have parents to care for them seem to be kept in doors all the time or only allowed to play in walled yards and gardens. w. ased to say to each other: Why, where are the children? Haven't they got any?" But at New Years we found out that they had. This Is the great holiday of all the year in China, whel everybody hangs out flags and colored lanterns and sets off frecrackers. (We borrowed our custom of frecrackers tor the Fourth of July from China's New Year's.) All the people put on their best clothes and the children the best of all, jackets and trousers of bright blue or green or yellow or pur pie, the boys and the girls SO much alike that you can only tell them apart by their hair. The boys of course is braided in pigtail, and the girls is done ur on her head with silver pins CT. If she's a very grand little girl, with gold or Jade. Thus decked out, the children go walking with their proud papas and mammas and often go il the fhaater which is a rare treat fC. them.
 Perhaps Chinese children have ronp tng plays together, but they always look as if they were born grown up
