For ordinary, ev- j [r eryday wear they don white garments lls? that tesemble American pajamas In ; 1 their style of cut and fit. For dinner j <-*e; each evening and on Suudays the white j P" suits are exchanged for light blue gar- j thi meats of the same description?rather 1 "0 an odd livery to our prosaic minds! Of , thi course, every Chinaman preserves a ' Ba habitual, solemn silence.
