But the quiet does not last long. Oc-

Custom requires that all the men in

that would be highly improper.
When friends meet in the street for
the first time in the new year they
stand and bow very politely; they put
their hands together and shake them,
saying, “Kung shi, kung shi," which
means “I respectfully wish you joy,”
nnd they often add, “May you grow
rich,” for that is the Chinese idea of
happiness.
