Lou Fee, who is more prosperous than the average of his fellows, through the profitable tea business that he conducts at 9 Pell street, began to hear faint rambles of trouble the other morning, so he told Lieutenant Burke of the Elizabeth street station. He had been out playing domL.oes the night before and had dot come home until -r after midnight. When he did sneak into hla cozy flat over the store, his little Plum Blossom was sitting up with fire in her eye, just as a regular whifbWif j would may be. There had been a fine row; this much Lou Fee admitted. His spouse had declared flatly that if he was goring to stay out all hours of the night playing dominoes or fan-tan with the other Four Brothers boys, he need not expect to find a wife waiting for him at home..

All Chinatown hummed for days with the scandal. “She make-ee d-sufllagette business alla-time,” was the way Lou Pon, the abused cousin, explained the flight of Quon Shee Fee. Mournfully rubbing the bump on his head where the vigorous fan had whacked him, Cousin Lou developed his theory of what had ailed the winsome wife of. Lou Pee. “Alla-time she mak-ee lead-um ’bout de-sufflagette. Alla-time tink-um ’bout fool woman llte business. Woman alla-eamee husband, she say.
