In January 1924, optometrists were reported to be seeing something called Mah Jongg Eye.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLight this one for a slower evening at the table. The Big Joker sits on a soy candle in clear glass, a warm finish for the room where the last hand always runs long and nobody wants to go home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy 1924 the game had leapt well past the table. Sheet music counters sold songs about it, including a 1922 number from San Francisco, and it appeared in a Broadway show. There were mah jongg bathing suits and hosiery. Newspapers reported on it the way later decades covered hula hoops.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome of that culture has aged badly, and a few of those songs are best left in the archive. The sharper image is the optometrists, reporting a complaint from too many late nights over small tiles. Keep that in mind as you squint at the card by candlelight. Your eyes are in good company.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn 11 oz candle in 100 percent soy wax with two cotton-cored wicks and about 65 hours of burn time, in Ocean Mist and Moss or White Tea and Fig. Keep a burning candle in sight and away from children, pets and anything flammable.
