For the flrsl\nday or two i folt ns though I ought to\ncarry a revolver, Whenever 1 was\nforced to loave Ruth alone in tho house'\ni instructed hor upon no circumstances I\nto upon the door. The hoy and I ur-\nrn nged Q secret ro p\u00E2\u0080\u0094un idea the t\npleased him mightily- and until sho\nhoard tho single knock followed by\ntwo quick sharp ones, she wus not lo\nanswer. Bul In wandering around\namong these people it wus difficult to I\nthink of them ns vicious. The Italian\nclement was a laughing, lndolent\u00C2\u00BBap\u00C2\u00AB\npearlng group; Ihe scattered Jewish]\nfolk wore almosl timid nnd kepi very'\nmuch lo themselves. I didn't find ul\nreally tough face until I came lo the,\nwater front when* ihey spoke English.)\nOn lho third morning after u break-\nTi t , r oatmeal und hot biscuit\u00E2\u0080\u0094nnd.\nby the wuy, Ruth effected a fifty per\ncent, saving right here by using tho\nold fashioned formula of soda und\nere nn nf tartar instead of baking pow-\ni \u00E2\u0096\u00A0 i iml baked potatoes, Ruth and the\nIn v nnd mysolf started on an exploring trip. Our Idea wus to get a bn\"\non Jusi whut our opportunities won*\ndown lure nnd to none out the best\nand cheapest places to buy. The thing\nthat Impressed us right oft was iho\nbig advantage wo had in being within\neasy access of Iho big provision centres. We wenr wiiliin ten minutes'\nwalk of tin* market, within fifteen of\nllie water front, within three uf tlie\nsquuro uud within twenty nf the do-\npai'tmont stores, At all of those places\nwe round special bargains for the day\nmade to attract in town those from a\ndistance, if une rose early and reached them aboul us Boon as they wore\nopened une could often buy things almost ai cost and somotlmos below oust.\nFor Insiaiur, we went up town to one\nof tbo largest but cheaper grade department stores- -we had heard Uh\nnamo for yours bul had never been\ninside the building\u00E2\u0080\u0094and we found thai\nin their grocery department thoy hud\nspecial mark-downs every day in the\nweek fnr u limited supply of goods, Wo\nbought sugar this day ul u cent u\npound less than lho market price nnd\ngood benns for two cents a quart less.\nit Bounds at first like rather picayune\nsaving but It counts up at the end of\nthe year. Then every stall In the\nmarket had Its bargain of meats -\nwholesome bits hul unattractive to\nthe cureless buyer. Wo bought here\nfor fifty cents enough round steak tor\nBoveral good meals of hash. We couldn't have bought ll for loss thun a dollar iu tho suburbs and even at that\nwe wouldn't have known anything\nabout it for tho store was loo far for\nRuth tu mako a porsonal visit nud the\nbutcher himself would never have\nmentioned Buch nu mid end to a member nf um* neighborhood,\nW>* enjoyed wandering around this\nbig market which in Itself wus like n\ntrip to another land, Later one of our\nfavorite amusemonts was to come\nduwu here al night and watch Hie hustling crouds and the lights and the\npretty colors and confusion, ii reminded Ruth, she said, of a country\nfair. She always carried a pud und\npencil und made notes of good places\nto buy. I still have those and am referring to thom now us I write Ibis.\n\"Blanks,\" she writes (I omit the\nname, \"nice clean store with pleasant\nsalesman, lias good soup bones.\"\nAgain, \"Blank and Blank \u00E2\u0080\u0094 good\nplaco to buy sausage.\"\nHere, loo, the market gardeners\ngathered as curly us four o'clock with\ntheir vegetables fresh from thc suburbs. They did mostly u wholesale\nbusiness but if one knew how lt waa\nalways possible to buy of them a cabbage or u head of lettuce or a few apples, or a peck of potatoes. They\nwere u genial, ruddy-cheeked lot und\nafler a while thoy cume to know Ruth.\nOften I'd go up there wiih her before\nwork und she with a basket on her arm\nwould buy for the day. lt was always, \"Good morning, miss,\" iu answer to her smile. They were respectful whether I was along or not.\nUut for that matter 1 never knew anyone who wasn't respectful to Ruth.\nThey used to like to see her come, I\nthink, for sho stood out in rather\nmarked contrast to the bowed figures\nof the other women. Later on ihey\nused to save nut for her any particularly choice vegetable Ihey might have.\nShe Insisted, however, in paying tbem\nan extra penny for sueh things.\nFrom the market wo wont down a\nseries of narrow streets which led to\nthe water front, Here the vessels frum\nthe Hanks come In lo unload. The air\nwas salty and though to us at lirsl\ntho wharves seemed dirty we got used\nto ihem after a while, and enjoyed\nthe smell of the t'.sh fresh from lbc*\nwater.\nSeeing whole push carls full of fish\nund wai clung thom handled with a\npitch fork us a man tosses hay didn't\nwhet uur appetites any, but when we\nremembered that it was those same\nfish\u00E2\u0080\u0094a day or two older.\u00E2\u0080\u0094for which\nwe hud been paying double the price\ncharged for them here tho difference\novercame our scruples. The men here\nInterested mo. i found that white the\ncrew of every schooner numbered a\ngoodly per cent, of foreigners, sllll\nthe greater part were American born.\nThe newcomers as a rule bought small\nlaunches of thoir own uml went into\nbusiness tor themselves. The English\nspeaking portion \"f Ihe crews wore also, as a rule, ihe rougher element The\nloafers and hangers-on nbout the\nwharves wen- also English speaking.\nThis was a fact that Inter on 1 f.uiml\ntu im rather significant uml to hold\ntrue iu n general wuy in nil branches\nof the lower class of labor.\nThe liarruoms about hero- always a\npretty Mire Index uf tho men of nny\ncommunlt) were mun- numerous and\nuf decidedly a rougher character limn\nthose aboul tho square, A man would\nbe a ; i deal better justified In car-\nrytnfl n revolver on ibis stroei than\nho would in Lillle Italy. I never allowed Ruth to como down here alum*.\nFrom here we wandered back and i\nfound a public playground and bathhouse by the water's edge, This attracted me at once. 1 Investigated\nHits uml found It offered u flue opportunity iur bathing, Little dressing-\nrooms were provided und for a penny\na mnn could get a clean towel and\nfor Ave cents a bathing suit There\nWas uo reason thut I could see, however, why we shouldn't provide our\nown. Il was within an easy ton minutes of the flat und I BOW'right then\nwhere 1 would get n dip every day.\nIt wuuld be a great thing fnr the boy,\ntoo, I hud alwnys wanted him to\nlearn io swim.\nnn Uu* wuy homo we passed through\nthe Jewish quarter nnd 1 made ii note\nor lho clothing offered for sale hero.\nThe street wus lined Wllh securul-hund\nstores wlib coaiH and irousers swing*\nIng over tho sidewalk, and tho win-\ndows wero filled with odd lota uf ihoeB.\nThen too, tliere were the pawnshops.\nI'd always thought Of a pawnshop nv\nhut being exactly respectable nnd bad\nthe feollng that anyone who secured\nanything from them wus in u way\nn receiver of stolen guods. Hut un I\npassed them now, I received a new\nImpression, Thoy Beemod, down here,\nas legitimate a business us the secondhand stures.

The bond-\nage of women in tbc Chinese Empire J\nis perhaps more degrading than in any,\nother part of the world, it is no pas-1\nsive or intangible or imaginary thing,\nbut deliberate and positive ami real, as!\nthe universal practice of foot-bindiog\namply attests.\nThc Hnkka women of Southern\nKwangtung do not bind tbeir feet. In\nCanton, only the daughters of the well-\nto-do follow the custom. You eau go\nthence up the West River five hundred\nmiles and never see a woman hobble.\nIn the extreme north of China again,\nthe Manchu women leave the foot natural, and this is why they are so big,\nhealthy, and comely. In the rest of\nthe Empire, foot-binding has beeu not\nthe folly of the idle, nor the fad of the\nfashionable, but a custom that bore upon all classes, poor and rich alike.
