CHINESE HAVE QUEER CUSTOM
How Moth>Ss - FlOwery Kingdom
Count Their Children

We are prone to sympath'ze with
the Chinese woman because of the
plurality Of wives. but American visi-
tors to China SEQ little evidence of
the need of our sympathy.
The Chinese have a saying: THE
head wife should cherish the inferior
wives as the great tree cherishes the
creepers that gather round it." Its i'm
possible to whether this sage advice Is
always followed. but one often sees
the several wives of many officials,
all friendly as sisters and all working
for the common good of the home.
An American lady visiting in China
recently called upon the wife of an
Official and was met at the door by
two ladies. One of them was very
old Chinese lady. with feet that could
not have been more than two and
one half inches in length. She was
partially supported on one side by q
servant and on the other by beauti-
fully dressed Manchu woman. After
The guest was seated in the place of

and tea was brought she asked the
usual question What Is your hon
orablc age?" She replied. "62"; then.
as always follows. the guest said.
"How many children have you?" She
replied Five" The guest then asked
their ages. and. to her astorishInent
heard her say that the eldest was II
years and the youngest two months.
When the American cOuld find
words to continue the conversation.
she turned to the Manchu lady and
asked her practically the same ques-
tiOns. She replied that she was 35
years old, was the mother Of five
children. the eldest being II wears and
the youngest two months. Then the
American realized that the first wife
had no children. hut according to Chi
nese custom. claimed as her own all
children horn to the secondary wives,
The custom was further cxemplified
by the wife OF a magistrate who was
calling upon the American lady, ac-
companicd by tho second wife. After
the usual question in regard to age
and health, this lady was as:ed how
many children she possessed. She
looked puzzled for moment. then
turned to the other wife and keeping
track of the names by turning down
finger at each count said:
Let me sec-how many children
have I? Tsai-an has three. Wo-kee
