Dear Kitty:
Shanghai may not be the best bet in sight, but when it comes to holidays li admit it leads the world. Nothing in Chinese custom has so commended itself to me as their celebration of New Years, which fell this year on January 28th but takes a week or to commemorate fittingly.
I can believe now that the Chinese are human, whereas before J suspected that they were mechanisms wound up to work 365 days in the year without stopping. Loaf? I hear they are so adroit in sabotage as to make the most accomplished I. W. W. blush, but they look so industrious all the time they make me nervous.
