It came, as might have been expected. In the way that was least expected. Not from Chinatown directly, but from the druggists, from licensed and unlicensed pharmacists of the whites' own race, the deadly drug- has crept on lnsiduous y to Its pallid conquests, from tho first vantage ground afforded by the romance and the mystery of the dens where It was to the manner born. Today, in San Francisco, onlv the opinions, not the positive facts, of Inti mate observers can trace the vice of opium smokinff from Its extensive lodg ment amoni; the rich and educated whites back to Its local origin in the reeklne cellars and hovels, or into the down-flung, oriental splendors of the Chinatown that was, "before the fire." No one can point out just when this liandsnnw matron, under the protection of her husband and acting as hostess to a partv of guests from the east, "hit" her first pipe In some gorgeous "Joint" of the old days, Just to see what It was like." No one can say up on what chaperoned occasion that love ly debutante, dared by her companions Jn a slumming tour, applied her pretty lips to the bamboo stem and, defiantly, breathed In tha flryt acrid fumes, and g-afrged and coughed, and protested she could not see how anv one could like a thing so repugnant as that. Perhaps few among all the victims fpan Francisco now numbers, have ever ijilt the pipe within the stench-laden 'walls of a Chinatown den.
