Chinese Food.
It is not strange that Chinese food in a cosmopolitan country like America should be popular. Some Chinese restaurants are fnrnished expensively with teawood stools and tables inlaid with ivory and mother-of-pearl. They have entrances so constructed that the patron, to reach the dining-room, must pass through the kitchen, the idea being that the patron should examine the kitchen, should see how clean it is, before he eats the food that comes out of it. Chop-sticks, as well as the customary knives and forks, are provided with the food, and the Americans find it in-'-T^H'ef-tiiig to try to learn to eat with these two j ' ll.tr- ; ebony or ivory utensils.
