Lung created quite a sensation
among the guests. with his good
English and his intelligent ways.
"i declare. I think those Chinese
are Just too cute for words." said
Minnie Hawthorne. Eisie'. chum.
"ills manners are so good. But then
all foreigners are."
W'an, Lung. in short. was voted 3
success. and thence-forward he was
a star at church fairs and fosiivnis.
and a great favoritc “nth the ladies.
Did Elsie know that the heathen
was failing in love with f 0!
course she did. And did ”lead
him on? Well. most. girls would.
and Elsie was no ’excspticn. Though.
of course. everything was done ac-
cording to the rules established
from time immemorlsl among us
gin-Saxon womanhood.
Then came the liars-up.
Lung asked her to marry him.
“0h. Wan!" said Elsie reproach-
fully. feeling a thrill of delicious in-
ward triumph nevertheless. "I never
thought that you would misund-
stand the friendship for you like
that." ‘
“But you love no one else?"
“No, Wan." Elsie admitted.
"Then can thorn be no hope? You
undegstsnd. I am an American citi-
zen. I have lived so many years in
this country. I shall never go back
to China."
"it isn‘t that." said Elsie.
"\tht is it. then?" -‘
"Why. “'an. it's because you‘re
yellow. of course."
Wan was about to leave the room.
but Elsle‘s mother had suspected
Home-thing and had not been idle.

“The ideaf“ shecried lndignantly.
“it's the most disgraceful thing I
ever heard of. your presuming to
dare to make such a suggestion as
that to my darling daughter.”
"You will forgive me. I didn't un-
derstand." said Wan Lung humbly.
"ilidn't understand? You should
have, then! Elsie, darling, it never
pays to have anything to do with
thefie Orientals. They simply can't
understand our American ways.
They only insult you."
Then Xi'an Lung made his little
protest.
"i do not think I insulted Miss
Elsie." he said mildly. “I was good
enough to teach. to have to your
house to tea. and 1—1 suppose I had
forgotten that I was yellow." And
he went out.

not realize how much more con-

are enough tables than a room in
which there are not enough. Of
course in the living room a big

homelike and comfortable. But
