Gone, alas! la the raacinatlnt. dirty,
crowded, picturesque Chinatown ot old,
formerly a pure bit of the orient, in
stead are large impressive store with
plats glass windows: shops partially filled
with American goods; the Chinese inem-
aelve wearing no queue and mostly clad
In American clothes. V
Tong Kay feast disclosed some of tha
change in the San Francisco Chinatown.
The walls of the large room were cov
ered with htdeoua American wall paper,
and bad ao Chlneee decoratlona, frieses
or ornaments save one. Thia waa a cheap
colored print flanked by hieroglyphlce on
either aid and denoted "Peace, plenty
and prosperity."
About MO guests ware assembled, the
American and the Chinese women and
children being placed at one aide, tha lat
ter behind screens. The Chinese men
were principally merchant. Interpreters,
students from the college and missions,
and were nearly all sans queues and
dressed in American clotnee. .
Tong Kay opened the feaat with aa In
vocation In Chinese. The many round
tables, draped with American table
doths, were covered with tiny dishes,
many not larger than our ordinary butter
plates. On these were placed different
kind ot nuts, ginger,- cherriea, sliced
orangs and ameetmeeta' At each plate
waa placed a pair ot chop sticks and
small china ladle in II tiny saucer.
Those were never changed and were used
to eat the fourteen courses. As a con
cession to the Americans a large plate
and fork were given to each ot ua, but
no knife or spoon.
The fourteen course were all hot,
served In small four-aided dishes, one
after the other, with no vegetable or
bread accompaniment of any kind, email
bowls were paxaed for the more liquid
courses, when the Individual ladles were

Ave Judge ot the appellate division of
M.W a year haa caused a division of the
I worth tett.'M and has aa Income of
the supreme court ot New York In a suit
brought against Samuel W. Peck, a
wholesale clothing merchant at 80S Broad
way, by Solomon Rosenfeld. a tailor, who
In ISO? furnished garments valued at IK6
to Mr.' Peck's former wife, Joeephlne
Stlner Perk, and ha been trying ever
sinos to collect from Mr. Peck.
A few days after she got tha garment
Mr. Peck sailed for Pans, and aa a re
sult of purchase she mads there Mr.
Peck advertised In the Pans newspaper
that he wouldn't be responsible for her
bill. Not long afterward he sued her for
divorce and be got a decree in the spring
of IMS, Mr. Peek contended thst h pro
vided his wlf with sufficient funds to
pay for her own clothing and that he
waan't liable for goods enarged to her.
The -court directed a Judgment in his
favor. By a vote of three to two the ap
pellate division decide that It I a ques
tion for the Jury.
The suit I baaed on the purchase of
these articles: Brown leatner automobile
coat, tie); blue and white suit, Ills; blue
taffeta ooat, (SO; pique suit, tIM, aad
whit auit, IN. The ease was tried be
fore ths late Supreme Court Justice Truax
In IK. Roseafeld testifies that ha had
been manager at McNally a where Mr
Peck traded for many years, and that he
waa acquainted with tha kind of garment
she wore. He said aba told him when
she bought the good that she was going
to Paris and that on look ma through her
wardrobe. aha found that she needed a
few things. She got them and had them
charged.
Rosenfeld attorney wanted to Intro
duce testimony showing the character of
the establishment where Mr. Peck had
been accustomed to trace, and Justice
Truax aaid: "The court will take Judicial
notice that McNaily'a la high-priced. I
have paid some of their bills."
Mr. Peck testified that he had been ac
customed to give hi wlf MX a month
for clothe and too. for carfare and
lunches. In addition he usually gave her
tl.to a month extra. They had been liv
ing at the rat of W.OOS a year, and when
she went to Paris she earned a letter of
credit for t$.M). He thought she would
spend part of that for clothing.
Mrs. Julia Solomon, a sister of Mr
Peck, who testified for Mr. Peck, said
that when Mr Peck bought the clothing
here aha had thirty dresses and suits, a
dosea hat a, ninety pairs of silk stockings,
three dosen pairs of gloves, two doaen
pair of shoes, ten pairs of silk eques
trian tight and enough additional cloth
ing to fill several trunks.
On the question whether Mr. Peck
really needed the garment shs bought
Rosenfeld testified aa aa expert that the
style changes twice a year and well-
dressed women do not wear garments
after the style baa changed. Mendel J,
Plam, alao a tailor, aaid that well-dressed
women do not wear the kind of suit
Mrs. Peek bought more than three or
four month. t
Juatlce Scott, who wrote the majority
opinion, aaid that tha articles of clothing
were the kind the wife bed always worn
with her husband' knowledge. They
certainly wars not neceeaarlea. strictly
speaking, but the question is presented
If they were not necessarlea In the sense
that they were articlea ot area suits Me

band mean and their mode of living.
aaid Justice Scott, "we consider thst the
Jury might find thst the husband Im
pliedly authorised hla wue to purchase
on credit goods of the character aha waa
in the habit of buying."
Justices Clark and Miller concurred In
the majority opinion, but Presiding Jus
tice lngraham aaid that tha testimony
showed that the gooda were charged to
tha wife, not the husband, and that she
bad ample mean to pay for them. He
