Show Chinese Servants. The servants in a Chinese family are not expensive, so far as wages are concerned, but they cost a great deal In perquisites. They rarely receive more than two dollars a month, but they are given their food, and they help themselves lavishly to anything they may desire. They dress themselves them-selves from the old clothing of the family, freely take the hairpins and tho toilet articles cf the mistress, clothe their children from the common com-mon wardrobe, and, in fact, are a part of the family. |
