* "A Chinese funeral.  So strong is respect for the dead in China that a defaulting tenant has been known to delay indefinitely the funeral of his dearly departed to avoid ejectment.  The funeral, for which a lucky day must be chisen, is an important and often pompous affair.  Tinsel money is strewn to buy off malignant spirits, giant figures are borne in procession as well as chairs and beds and clothes and anything they conceive the departed may require in the shadowy world."--printed on verso.
