Shangbai, Sept. 18.

Owing to the disordered con- ditions in the neighbouring provincos, It is probable that some "mui-tsai" have boon brought in to the Colony by masters or mistresses who have come to find temporary refuge In Hongkong.

It has boon an old · Chinose custom to provide a newly married woman with a “mul- tsai" who accompanies her to hor new homo as hor personal servant. Since the passing of this ordin- ance, this custom is said to be dying out in Hongkong, and in- stoad of a "mui-tsai" the bride is presented with money to engage a servant on a regular wogo. Apart from such special caseE, moreover, there is a general tendency to engage "chu-nin- mui"--or servants on a wage agreement.
