No it isn't a picture from a Chinese musical comedy nor the Flowery Kingdom. It is merely an evidence of the process of Americanization in Public School No. 108, 60 Mott St., where these Chinese children are preparing a Junior Red Cross celebration for Lincoln's Birthday, with dances in national costume. Made of finest silks of China, and heavily embroidered, these costumes are worn only for state occasions such as this. But this is the only mark of China upon her little people in this country. For everyday school wear they have correct American school clothes, and the hair of every little girl is bobbed and tied on top in a crisp bow of ribbon
