The club has now about seventy-five ac-

and professional men have also Joined
the organization as honorary members.
Many public lectures and receptions are
given every year. Among those who ad-
dressed the club last winter were the

in the clubrooms. Glasses in Cantonese

students for the benefit of Chinese-Ameri-

least interesting part of the clubs work.

~ epitome of Chinese life as it is
lived In New York City? The majority
of Manhattanites would answer the ques-
ton afirmatively Some would ask;
How about pigtails?
How many have tried to find out
whether the yellow man shutting along
the Bowery and grinning almost auto
matically when he is addressed has a
soul or a mind? TO tell the truth, it is
not an easy matter to ind out about
those things. The hereditary contempt OF
the Far fastener for the foreign devils
makes him quite Indifferent TO their opin-
ion of him. And besides. he knows very
well that, whatever he may accomplish
the prejudiced and hasty observer Will
notice only chop suey, punk sticks. opium
