At the entrance of the first shop I stopper at was a highly colour- ed pile of cheap cottons for 'kimono at four yards a dollar.. Among them were some really pretty de- signs which would delight a small girl as a dressing gown, or as a cover for her nursery table. Fine coating material can be picked up for a couple of dollars a yard, and. checked flannels for about half that sum..

Bargaining is part of the fun of Cotton Street if you are prepared to spend the time over it. You will generally find that the sellers enjoy the process as much if not more than you do, and unless you are very clever they will come out on top. There is something of the air of Wembley about this narrow lane; it is China, but a clean and pleasant China where the newcomer will find adventure without any of the discomforts that one may ex- perience in some other parts of China town.

Parallel with Cotton Street runs another lane of a very different character. I do not know its official name, but I call it Onion Street, for nearly every shop is piled with cases of Spanish onions. There could be no greater contrast to the street we have just left. The rough cobblestones are littered, with onion skins, dirty paper and rub bish, among which half naked bables are scuffling and laughing. The
