Chinatown EdibIeS.

Did you ever go marketing in China
town? Well. it is weird sort Of an
experience. and unless one is tactful
and determined the results are not very
satisfying, for the shopkeepers are so
non -committal and sell their wares so
grudgingIy that it is almost impossible
to get pointers for culinary use. The
queer-smelling. little. dingy shops are
indeed filled with strange wares and
are all much alike The bins and
shelves are filled with dried edfbles,
water ehestnuts and a few dried vege-
tables. Hanging from the rafters
above are dried ducks that have been
split down the back. then smoked
whole, and are considered great deli
cacy The ducks are varied by
punches of bacon strips. all fried and
wrapped around bamboo splints.
Pork seems to be the favorite meat
of Chinatown. and it is in evidence
everywhere. There are. pans of i'm

The display windows are filled with
green things. almost to the exclusion
of all light. They come from the south
just now. but later are brought from
Chinese farms on Long Island. The
potatoes have skin the color of our
sweet potatoes, and they are pithy in
the center. The cabbages head up very
loosely and have an herblike taste
when cooked.

A great deal of horseradish is used
in their cooking. as well as onions,

FADS AND FANCIES.

The all-dower toque is in favor again.
The little Elton will undoubtedly be
worn.
Crepes figure conspicuously among
the new cottons.
The Gather toQue Is a happy medium
between the summer hat and the fur
touue of winter.
For the late spring suit as well as for
summer dresses there is marked fancy
for silk and wool voiles.
The Vatican pleat has returned. 1t
is shown in several wraps of silk or satin,
and 1t is quite evident in negliges.
Open meshes are the dominant note
of the new spring blouses, some of the
models being Of a loose, open weave of
serge.
The vast majority Of models follow the
kimono sleeve idea. In many instances
there is a deep yoke fashioned on kimono
lines. with a shallow lower section in
bib form.

The Japanese Wife.

From the time the Japanese wife leaves
the house of her father her life is COM
pletely severed from its old connections
and given over to her husband The
bride assumes an attitude Of meek SUBJ
mission toward all her new RELATIONSHIP
law.
AS an unmarried girl her life has been
singularly happy and care free. She has
reveled in festivals and wonderful XII
monos of all the bright colors Of the rain
bow, her unfaillng merriment a sign of
her ught-heartedness.
Being married she must turn her back
upon all these simple pleasures. She goes
in a white dmono (the color Of mourning)
from her fathers house to signify that
she no longer lives for her own family.
Very often she goes to live in the same
house with her husbands parents. No
matter how many servants she may have,
her husband and his relatives. Imme-
diately upon her arrival her mother-in-
law takes II for granted that she will
submit to be ruled by her and at once
proceeds to exact implicit obedience from
her. The bride yields meekly. as obedi-
ence is one Of the greatest Of Japanese
virtues.
If her husbands people do not live In
the same house with her, 1t Is only when
they come to visit her that she Is able
that are due them from her. She hastens
to receive them, showing great solicitude
for their health and comfort, and waits
upon them herself. passing the inevitable
tea cups, as she kneels before them.
In the morning the wife must rise be-
fore even the lowest servant, as it Is her
duty to open the house and call the fam
lily and servants as well. She must sup
ply her husbands wants and wait upon
him as he eats. When he il ready to
leave the house. she follows him to the
door, accompanied by all the servants,
sending him or with blessings and COM
pliments.
A. regards her dress as . wife, she at
once assumes quiet and staid colors, dis
carding altogether the gaudy raiment Of
her Sirlhood.
It 10 an old saying that the japanese
girl resembles Q bird Of paradise. the
wife q dove and the widow . crow: this
last assertion made because. should her
husband die, the widow wears the most
gloomy and ugly colors and shaves her
head in order to display her grief.
The housekeeping 10 simple and SER
wants faithful. and her filial and wifely
duties are her greatest cares. Etiquette
requires OF much Of her In this respect.
however, that II IL well she has not the
added worries Of the servant problem.
