  We study the decay widths of the narrow resonances $D_{sj}^*(2317)$ and
$D_{sj}(2460)$ in the chiral quark model, together with the well-known $D^\ast$
and $D_s^*$ mesons. All the parameters in our calculation are taken from
Godfrey and Isgur's quark model except the $\pi^0-\eta$ mixing angle which is
fixed by the $D_s^*$ decay widths. The calculated electromagnetic decay widths
agree with those from other groups and the experimental data available quite
well. However, the pionic decay widths of $D_{sj}(2317)$ and $D_{sj}(2460)$ are
too small to fit the experimental data. We suspect that the simple chiral quark
pion axial-vector interaction Hamiltonian is not suitable for hadron strong
decays of $D_{sj}(2317)$ and $D_{sj}(2460)$.
