MR. WI Talks OF OUR WOMEN.


We think the women of China queer
creatures. with their pinched feet their
trousers, their long, loose Jackets etc.
And the Chinese think our women equally
queer, with their Occidental notions and
fashions. nearly all at variance with ORR
entail ideas. The Chinese minister at
Washington, Mr. WI Ting Fang has been
observing the American women with in
terest. He is quite sure that there must
be some reason back of the costumes
which our women wear. Their manner of
dress must have been evolved after years
and years of study on the part of genera
lions of men and women of brains Never
theless, he is at loss to understand how
and why some of the conclusions in cos
tunes were arrived at. What, for in
stance, is the explanation of the evening
dress, with its low neck and absence of
sleeves? Is it worn for beauty, or as the
minister naively asks, for coolness?"
And with such shortness of material in
the bodice, why is there so great length of
the skirt? The train is not only a
feature of the evening costume, but is
worn at all times in the streets as well as
in the houses. And on the street 1t be
comes a gatherer of dust and germs from
pavements and crossings. The corset too,
puzzles Minister WI. He thinks that if
a woman is beautiful at all it is in her
natural form, without adding to or taking
from the stature or shape. Besides, the
corset retards the circulation, impairs di-
gestion and hurts the health. Consump-
ton, Minister WI learns, is one of the
most prevalent and fatal of diseases in
America; nevertheless our women, and
our men, too, for that matter, give the
chest less protection than any other part
of the body. Our clothes open at the
front and at the neck, where the cold air
can get ready access to the body. And the
shoes we wear are not correct In prin-
ciple, as he understands it. In China the
men never have corns. He doesn't say,
however, that the Chinese women have
no corns, so presumably they have.
Meantime, Minister WI admires the
American woman, for her brain. her Vi
vacity. her courage and her successes.
The women of his own country occupy no
such position as the women of this ooun-
try. In China they believe that a woman
should be taught for domesticlty, and that
her duty is to her husband all of the time.
and the women are happy to carry out
that idea. And in China the women dress
for comfort and for health, rather than
for ocular effect. They never bare their
chests and arms nor do they sweep the
floors and streets with skirts StiD Min
lister WI does not say that the American
customs are wrong and those of China are
right. Back of every condition" he
says. there is reason, and the man who
critlcises the customs of any people Sc
verely often speaks or knows but half the
truth"

er of these stories has any foundation. As
far as the public knows the President has
shown the Admiral every possible cour-
tesy. 1t may be that In social matters he
has not been given the prominence which
he thinks he is entitled to, but it is-prob-
able that in such matters the President
has been guided by precedent. Besides, it
is hardly probable that the Admiral would
undertake to defeat the Presidents ambi-
ton for a second term because of his fail
ure to get as high position in the So
cial procession at Washington as he
wanted
The other story, namely, that the gold
Democrats are using him to defeat the
nomination of Mr.. Bryan seems to be
is understood to be one of these gold
Democrats, said. in an interview. that he
had nothing to do with the Admirals re-
cent announcement. He further said that
he believed the announcement to be the
act of the Admiral himself. 1t is proba
bic that Mr.. Whitneys view OF the mat
ter is the correct one. The Admiral had
received many letters from admirers in
different parts of the country, asking him
to bee me a candidate for the presidency,
and he had been received with enthusiasm
in every part Of the country which he
had visited. He naturally concluded that
the people wanted him for President. II
will probably appear that this is the real
situation when the truth is known

From Pail Mall GaIette
The second volume Of Paul Bourget's complete

The streets leading to cooling resorts
were crowded and expressmen were
overwhelmed with baggage. 1t was
the busiest Saturday Of the season.
But the million or two left behind In
the city were obliged to suffer. The
recreation piers were packed but they
gave very little relief. The keeper OF
an East river pier said that the ther-

Within the four days during which
the heat has been oppressive there has
been an average Of sixty.eight child
patients ct the Bellevue dispensary
alone, the ages OF the children ranging
from five months TO two years.
The outdoor poor department was
overtaxed also, there being twenty i've

have their children taken to Randalls

The suffering among animals was
plainly evident. Many horses fell,
some to die, others to stagger to their
feet and go weakly on. Fire Chief

saved many horses from sunstroke.
