Nah Jongg
"a Game That's Older
Than Christmas

uuU iulStUiUS
THREE THOUSAND YEARS
AGO in China the game known
as Nah Jongg was invented. And
then this game was called Pc
Ling--in honor of the sacred
bird of the Chinese meadows.
So fascinating and absorbing
was the playing of Nah Jongg
that every duty was neglected to
play it. HMandarins forgot their
appointments at the Imperial
Palace. Merchants neglected
their shops to strive for Ahe win
ming hand of the thirteen
unique wonders. TAI work in
the Celestial kingdom stopped.
And the Son of Heaven, En-
peror of the Celestial kingdom,
found it necessary to pass a law
that nobody could play Nah
Jongg, but the imperial family
and the noblest Mandarins, on
pain of death. Even these priv
ileged people could play Nah
Jongg only a certain number of
hours day, on penalty of hav-
ing their heads cut off. HBut so
great was the fascination of Nah
Jongg that the subjects of the
Celestial kingdom preferred
death to giving it up. And there
were many executions.
But Nah Jongg continued to be
played and interest in it grew
deeper every year.
Finally the Son of Heaven, after
much thought, admitted that the
power of Nah Jongg over his
subjects was stronger than his
own power. land in exchange
for money he needed at the time,
he offered to all his subjects the
privilege of playing the game as
much as they pleased.
And SO the game became the chief de-
light Of the Celestial kingdom. This
game of ancient China, with its BAN
boos, dragons and east winds-caryed
tiles, weird characters and Oriental
wisdom, has laid the same mysterious
spell on the American people as it did
on the Chinese kingdom. NStatesmen,
merchants, matrons and debutantes
yield to the fascination of the game.
And in search Of Heavens Cross and
