few utensils about. Under the long
tables were big baskets Of bean
sprouts, onions, celery, bamboo shoots
and Chinese cabbage. A whfte-coated
Chinaman was stirring something on
the stove.

clean about their cooking. Make very

Helen had no intention of having
Chinese cook, even though they were
clean, but she did not think it neces-
sary to argue that point then.
They made their way down the steep
and narrow steps and found them
selves again on PeIl street, crooked
and picturesque. To Helen the houses
with the wooden balconies, hung with
glowing chinese lanterns, seemed
more like stage setting than a real
New York street.
She paused before one Of the most
alluring of the Chinese shops. The
window was filled with embroideries.

Married Life, Third Year
By MABEL HERBERT uRNER

It was Helen's first glimpse Of q
real Chinese restaurant. The black
lakewood tables, the colored lanterns
the gtlded dragons-her quick glance
swept over it all with eager interest
The stoid Chinese walters made no
pretense of seating them and Warren
chose Seat by the window.
There We're no chairs and the teak
wood stools were without backs and
were very high. Helen's feet dangled
uneomfortably. but for once she was
too absorbed to ask for a footstool.
The thing that impressed her most
was the tables. The black wood was
wonderfully carved and inlaid with
pearl The tops were Of a reddish
brown marble which was not hidden,
for there were no tablecloths,
Take a look over that and see what
you want" as Warren showed toward
her bill OF fare.
Helen looked helplessly over the
long line of Chinese characters and the
English translations that were almost
as bewildering.

about these Dishes"
We'll, now, let's see" He was
frowning over the soup list. Here's

But, dear, look-$25O! Why, that's
an awful price for soup. I thought
Chinese. restaurants We're cheap"
They are. Look at the rest Of the
prices. But shark fin seems to be
their swell dish. Want to try it? No?
Then, how about birds nest soup !?
That's only s1.50?"
Much Cheaper.
why, Warren, that's an absurd
price for soup. But this sounds inter-
esting, Soup, with chicken, mush-
'oons, egg, bamboo shoots, ETC.? and
it's only 30 cents. Let's try that"
"All right. Now how about the chop

''Oh any kind" murmured Helen, be-
wildered at the list of chop sueys.
How does this strike you-'chop
suey with homeless chicken, pineapple,
water nuts, ETC.? Wonder what the
etc is?"
A waiter approached now with his
air Of stolid oriental Indifference
While they were giving him the order
another Chinaman brought them some
tea. Evidently tea was served with
every order.
1t was not brought in a teapot, but
in a bowl covered with a closely fit
ting saucer, that kept back the leaves
when it was poured out in the small,
handleless cups.
