Mothers traditionally invited a prospective son-in-law to play, to see what he was made of.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere is a fitted tee for the person who sees everything from her seat. The small bird on her chest looks gentle. So, of course, does she, right up until she quietly declares a win and starts counting fan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Chinese University of Hong Kong course lists housewives among the game's regulars, alongside schoolboys, construction workers and retirees. Stories from Hong Kong families describe mothers using a game to judge a daughter's suitor. It is folk wisdom rather than study, but it rings true.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is a kindness in the custom as well. Players may loosen the tile, letting an elder or an in-law win. Historians note that early mahjong was mostly a men's gambling game, and families have their own mixed memories of it. Ask who taught you, and you may find out who was really running things.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSlim, 4.2 oz combed ring-spun cotton, soft and light, with taped shoulders and side seams. The heathered colors are blended. It runs small, so size up if you prefer more room. Machine wash and dry on low.
