THIS WEEK’S COVER
- Here are three grades of chopstickers. The female tyro is about to knit one wad of chow mein and purl two. The sailor considers himself quite a man with the sticks, and let us hope they don’t slip and toss the viands against the lady’s face. As for that chap who was practically born with chopsticks in his mouth, he is thinking, Do I ask the guy if he can drink tea with chopsticks—or just let the bush leaguer get away with this? Artist Alajalov, who noticed this tableau and also was charmed by the lovely carved and painted woodwork during an eating session in New York’s Chinatown, has been experimenting on and off with chopsticks since coming down with the hobby while in Honolulu a couple years ago. On and off is right.
