ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses the housey face south, if it is in the north of China, and the upper half of the south wall will be lattice windows, covered with thin white paper instead of glass. This is for the purpose of getting all possible sunlight into the room during the winter, while they live and work out of doors during the summer. They are without bathroom, water, light, or heating system, except such as we have described no electric call bells, though they have human call bells, in the form of servants, always waiting to do their bidding, for few people in the world are better served than the Chinese. In the morning when they arise the bedding is aired, then folded up and put away in chests, or piled up on one end of the brick bed, where it is ready for the following night.
