    Caption: 'MEI-LING: Our day at the home of the Chung Gons began with Mei-Ling's morning bath. You'd love Mei-Ling, not yet two years old, but intelligent beyond her years. Does her parents' bidding whether it is in Chinese or English language. Musical name means "eternal youth, lovely, and wise [?]. Named after Madam Chiang Kai-shek, famous wife of famous Chinese Generalissimo. Mei-Ling will inquire after your good health, and kiss your hand good-bye with poise of a senior'.
