The house of the $50 a month man. I am not talking of
the houses of wealthy Chinese gentlemen. I am talking
of the families who have to have the whole of the
family on one floor.
they have them too.
Would you say a man with $50 a month. Would he not 14423]
rather have two cubicles, or three cubicles built of
plain planks, than one of those beautiful ping fungs?
Oh certainly, even myself, I prefer more cubiclub.
You would sacrifice the artistic pleasure of your ping
fungs to more cubicles ?
