CHINESE COURTESY.
A Native View Of the Oriental Brand
of PoIiteness. ..

OF H0tlteneSS.
A Chinese, unlike an American, who
would oppose other mems viewpoint
till it ends in an alteration, is always
courteous and answers question with
eyes, yes, yes, yes In case he dis
agrees with his opponent he will say !:
"Your honor will take more time to
reach better conclusion. Your honor
is quite right, but perhaps you may
have wiser opinion later on. I, worth
less little brother, think somewhat diff
ferently from you. However, my ig-
norant conclusion may be wrong and
yours right beg your excellency to
think over the natter -.s~..
But oriental politeness has its bad
aspect. 1t takes too much time. If a
guest is leaving his hosts door he has
to turn his head and ask dozen times
that the host should not accompany
him any farther. The same is true Of
tea drinking, and there is great deal
of ceremony between host and guest.
So it is with dinners and every social
gathering. Even in fighting duel one
person-provided both are gentlemen
will say to the other, pray hit me
first The other refuses and says,
ooh, no; please you hit me first
Politeness is especially manifested in
the form of an invitation. Few Chinese
go to an invited dinner on time; in
stead they delay for an hour or so.
Polite in the extreme, although con-
senting to accept the invitation, they
would not 60 to dinner until pulled and
dragged in gently rough manner by
their host. Knowing the habit of his
guests, the host always turns out all
the members of his family to drag one
after another of his invited friends to
the dinner. A youngster is often sent
out by his mother to hunt their guests
like hound, and, finding them, drag
them like mules to his mothers house.
Observing such customs, foreigners
usually laugh, but they laugh mistak-
enly.-H. 4. Tong in New York indie
