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.

In Ban Francisco with wealthy China
