GIRLS OF CANTON.

but in their trousers and tunics, which
are the most common articles of female
dress, they look even shorter. AS a
nation, they are extremely supersti-
tious, particularly the lower classes;
and men and women alike are much
given to gambling. 1t is no uncommon
thing to see woman burning joss
sticks and offering up petitions and
prayers for good luck to attend her
gambling speculations to Flu Ii, the
God of Earth, who is believed by the
lower classes to favor all gambling.
Before a Chinese woman is married,
she sends with great pomp and state to
her future home her entire trousseau,
which is packed in large boxes, the
keys of which she brings with her when
she comes, and on no account is the
bridegroom ever supposed to be al
lowed to see what is contained in these
precious trunks until after the we'd
ding is over, when they are shown to
him with much pride and ceremony.
In number of ways the Chinese diff
fer totally in custom from Europeans
For instance, it is considered the great
est mark of distinction to remove ones
hat in company; and the greatest COM
pliment it is possible to pay Chinese
man or woman is to tell them they
look older than they are. Again, no
Chinaman or woman would, on any ac-
count, ever dream of eating off white
cloth, looking upon it with great horror
and superstitious distaste, much in the
same way as we would regard wind
ing shee.
Another popularity of the lower
class of women is their slavish fear
andregard for their NOTWITHSTANDING who
take advantage of their position of
being dependent on their daughters-in-
law, to whom they often behave most
cruelty, and whom the law places with
in their power. To their children the
Chinese are devoted, and to all
strangers, if kindly treated by them,
exceedingly faithful and polite.-St.
Paul's.

TIE WOMEN OF CHINA.
Their Manners and Customs Differ
Widely from Those in Vogue
in Our Country.

At the present moment, when it may
be said, without fear of contradiction,
that in the whole of the civilized world
there is no woman who is attracting
more universal attention and interest
than the dowager empress of China
lin favor of whom the emperor has re-
signed, and who is described as being
"a woman in her siXty-fourth year,
who has not yet lost her love of pow
cry, few notes about the manners
and customs of Chinese women may
be of general interest.
Somehow it is difficult for us to credit
any Chinese woman with the love of
power" when, for years we have been
accustomed to think of the female pop
ulation of the celestial empire as be-
ing remarkable only for their tiny feet,
deformed from infancy by tight ban
dages for the simple reason that in aft
er life the women may be easily de-
tanned as prisoners. But, although the
chief part of a Chinese lady's costume
may in our eyes be her shoes, embroid-
cred chiefly by her own hand and of
such small dimensions that they would
only fit the infants of other nations,
there will remain great deal of inter-
est in the other articles of her ward
robe, which consists of beautifully en-
broidered silk robes and satin tunics,
lined in winter with the softest fur.
Even the peasant women wear orna-
mental garments, especially the bet
ter-class ones, who affect bright-col-
ored tunics, such as bright blue ones
worn over bright red trousers, or light
blue over pink trousers.
Perhaps at the theatrical perform
ances, which play so prominent part
in China in connection with all re-
ligious rites, are to be seen the most
gorgeous costumes. The Chinese ladies
spare no pains in arraying themselves
at such times, and arrive in their best
silks and satins, ornamented with many
pearls and much jewelry, often going
as far as wearing two sets of earrings
at one time. Their hair is wonderfully
dressed and heavily gummed, and dec
Grated with all manner of gaudy arti-
fetal flowers; while their cheeks and
lips are profusely colored with rouge.
The average height of a Chinese
woman is about four feet six inches,

made at home or purchased for small
amount; in either case half yard of
goods is sufficient for the front and
back.
The back and side widths of the apron
are slightly gored to give it more shape,
but the front breadth is made very full
SO that when gathered upon the yoke it
falls in folds not unlike those noticed in
empire effects.
Straps are made of the apron materi-
al finished upon the shoulders with
small bows of ribbon. The sash is also
of lawn trimmed only with two or three
rows of tucks above the hem. The skirt
of the apron has also groups of tucks
around the foot.
