MAN AS A SOCIAL FACTOR.

Every season brings certain changes IN
etiquette-httle variations in card-leaYing
and entertaining by which the elect may
recognize their own. One new departure
of this season is the fashion OF issuing
all invitations in the names of both host
and hostess. Until now. lovely woman
has reigned supreme on the at home"
card, and the name of the mere man was
never mentioned unless it were a dinner
irvitation-a survival from the days when
the host was an important person be-
cause he carved. Dinner a la Russo has
long since robbed him of this unpleasant
prerogative. so that he is quite as useful,
or more so, at afternoon tea as he is at
dinner.
Every invitation arrives with ''Mr. and
Mrs" at the top. Why this is so is i'm
possible TO say, except. perhaps, that the
married couple are anxious to let their
friends know that they are still living to-
gether- Whatever the reason, however,
the result viii doubtless be good, and the
plaineSt and shyest of men will have
blown out into attractive hosts under the
feeling that they are bound TO show up
at their own parties, and do their share
in the entertaining.
Crushes are no longer in favor. The
mere love of examining a room with a
crowd of people is among the things OF
the past. Small, select parties are much
better style, when no one is asked who
has not some rafson d'etre
Very little music is being given at par
ties this season. Hostesses recognize that
people want to talk and are only too
thankful TO be let alone. Introducing has
not been very fashionable; the most pop

her guests find their own friends. 1.-THE

ton of women of the lower classes, the
female ideal is high in Canton. and the
annals of the past show a long series
of virtuouS and heroic women who have
made an indellible impression upon the
national mind. The mother of the great
sage, Confucius, is held as a model.
for. as his father died when the child
was years old, his training was ac-
complished by his mother, Vho, II is
said, gave him the foundation for his
great moral maxims. The next philOs.

indebted to his mother for the forma-
ton of his character and mind, as well
as his philosophy.

not an enviable one. She is not receiv-

The greatest waste of sympathy in
the world is undoubtedly that pity ex-
pended by the public upon the woman
who is not married as happily as So
ciety considers she should be. Women
are Pharisees when it comes to their
own domestic ievanceS-PhariSeeS
thanking Providence in their hearts
that whatever may come TO them, they
are at least spared the Notifications
that fall to the lot of certain other
women they know.
If you doubt this assertion, take
your sewing and make a round of Wis
its in the neighborhood as l did one
morning recently. Mrs. Jones of the
tricky husband was the first one I
called upon. Her home was luxuriously
and artiStically furnished. 1t had the
air Of material comforts; Mrs. Jones
greeted me in a gorgeously embroidered
kimona- She is a worldly woman and
although the things she has found out
through some lawsuit in which her
husband was proved a rascal, have
furrowed hard lines Of cynicism and
distruSt in her face. there beams above
and beyond this expression one of ma
terial comfort and Astounding self
satisfaction.

with gratified vanity. Yes, / think 1t

CHINAS COURAGEOUS WOMEN
in SYMPATHY WITH BOXERS

Woman's influence in China is great
er than is commonly supposed. Rec
ords of the great Flowery Kingdom are
full of examples of women famous for
their learning, heroism and high prin-
ciple. Sometimes women achieve abso-
lutte power over the household, for there
is a poular saying, 'She eats rice with
her husband which is used to express
the rule Of the female tyrant- The most
astonishing instance of female power
today is, of course, the career of the
dOwager empress, Eszi-Chi II is said
that today the geratest mandarin of
China would far rather face the EN-
perOr Kwangsa than the secluded lady
whose firmness has often been tried and
never been broken. She is still the
power which rules the colossal country
of 300,000.O00 people, a country subject
to colossal disasters of flood, famine.
