Scope and content
Mrs. Charles J. Laval, wife of the editor of the Far Eastern Review in Shanghai. Mrs. Laval was visiting friends in Tacoma and Seattle prior to travelling to Lake Chelan to re-open her own home after 15 years in Shanghai. For the record, she found Tacoma to be empty and quiet after the crowds and noise of the Far East and the city's mass transportation lacking when compared with the prevalence of Shanghai's rickshaws. She commented on the American influence on Chinese architecture and the Chinese influence on European dress. The last time she lived in the United States full time was in 1910.
