A Chinaman’s Head Covering
A Chinaman is a character quite easily portrayed, and one which can be simply represented by pressing into service articles of everyday use.
From a piece of pale pink sateen the head covering (A, [Fig. 10]) is fashioned, a string run through at C to be drawn out or in at will; and a piece of rope or twist of darning cotton, B, sewn on at the back for a pigtail.
Then if the would-be Chinaman wishes to cover his head still further, the lid of the linen basket provides him with a hat, when a piece of braid or black paper has been fixed to the rim, and a string sewn on for the chin-strap.
A highly-colored dressing jacket and a pair of rather loose white trousers complete the Chinaman’s outfit.
