By Arthur W. Hummel Snr (greatly enlarged) By RDH

How would you like to live in a country where they stand umbrellas upside down; where teamsters lead their horses instead of drive them; where each man sprinkles the street in front of his own door, just as we sweep the snow from our walks in winter; where people beckon others to come to them just as we wave "good bye" to our friends; where they turn the pages of a book from below instead of from the top and read from the back to the front and vertically instead of horizonitally; where men lift their hats to each other but never to women; where the husband walks on the street in front of his wife instead of beside her; where he enters a street car first and she follows with the children and the bundles; where women wear unbrellas instead of hats; where bells are rung by pulling the tapper with a rope instead of turning the bell itself; where the stores have little boys to fan you on a hot summer day; where it is not polite to wear an overcoat in the presence of the emperor or look down on him from a second storey window when he passes, nor to fan yourself
