One evening we had quite an unexpected glimpseof the Far East in the form Of a fete in Chinatown. The streets Of the quarter, crowded with Orientals, were brightly lighted and hung with gay flags and banners.

The kiddies Of about eight or nine were evidently supposed to be selling confetti to visitors but as a matter Of fact they were Spending most Of their time, boylike, in hurling their wares at the passers-by, though this entailed much ardu ous labor in picking up the scattered bits Of paper and replacing them in the bags in which they were Offered for sale.
