Eitter, 6 years , of age, has had her first opportunity during the last few days of seeing the people, of her owu race in their native land. She was born in Hongkong, China, and is well acquainted with the ways of the "yellow man.". But until her mother brought her to Salt Lake, she knew little lit-tle about the characteristics of her own people. Like the little American-born boy impressed im-pressed with the beauties of Japan on his first visit, terming it "fairyland," so the little Chinese-born girl looks with wide open eyes on the ways and aspect of America, for after all it is only the btrange things which seem marvelous. Her mother, Mrp. O. H. Kitter, formerly for-merly Miss Lucy Corker, of Salt Lake City, is here visiting her sister, Mrs. W.'O. Cleland. Her rather is connected with a Chinese Mail Steamship companv. com-panv. Mrs. Eitter and her husband became be-came engaged in this country. She joined Mr. Kitter in Shanghai, where thev were married, and this is her first visit to Salt Lake since she left ten years ago.
