THE LITTLE LADY OF PEKIN.
From the Chinaman's Point Of View
His Empress is Perfection.

1.-THE Chinese empress does not meet
completely the Anglo-saXon demand
for female beauty writes Poulney
Blgelow in the September WOman's
Home Companion, but then the China
man Is not wholly satisfied with our
type and on sound democratic prin-
ciples the Celestial has some color for
his opinion seeing that he Is one OF
four hundred millions, while our ideal
represents but seyenty-hye millions.
Personally. It is hard for me 20 appre-
ciate beauty in one who Is short and
fat; whose feet are the size OF salt-cel-
lars; whose flesh has the modelling Of
a bolster, whose eyes are Ubliquc, and
whose natural skin Is overlaid with
white and red paste. Yet what l am
pleased to consider my taste is. from
the Chinaman's point Of view, merely
cutlandish prejudice, and on the stand
ards prevailing In Pekin the dowager
empress is easily one Of the handsom-
est women, exercising a personal fasci-
nation which entities her 10 rank with
such heroines as Catherine OF Russia.
or queen Louise OF Germany And
as TO antiquity OF pedigree. the Roman
offs and HOhenzOllerns are mere up
starts in dynasuc enterprise compared
with the power IN Pekin, which draws
it's authority directly from Celestial
sources In prehistoric eras
Let us then admit at the outset
that In the matter Of birth beauty and
political power the dowager empress OF
China Ccipses not merely anything Of
It's Kind I'm Europe but throws into the
shade anything dreamed OF In this fair
country OF ours whose boast Il is that
we have set the standard for Sovereign
woman The Chiuaman in general Is
completely convinced that I'm an that
constitutes higher civilization he Is the
superior OF the white man. He has in
vented more different kinds OF mechani-
cal Improvements than all the rest Of
the world put together; his wise men
were masters Of science when Europe
was a bowling Wilderness no other
country had held together so long as
this huge empire, and its subjects not
unnaturally conclude that such grand
results must have sprung from institu-
tons whose excellence Is unriyaled
elsewhere. or these Institutions the
highest exponent Is dowager empress
and her party

The difference between a mans bow
and a woman's az the top OF a russell
half-shoe is the simplest thing I'm the
world But IL means the difference be-
TWEEN loosening and dangling and stay
in as IL was made.
After years Of failure women have
finally learned this important secret.
Men knew Il all the time, but chose 20

pairing the damage.

66. Charles Y Flanders was nominated
for mayor.
Christopher Wetherill, who resides OF
the Mount Holly road, was stricken with
paralysis Thursday on High street. He
was taken into Davis Pharmacy, where
he was given medical aid by Drs. Cassidy
and Rink, after which Mr.. Wetherill was
taken home by Harry Dubell, neighbor-
ing farmer, where shortly after he died
from the effects of the attack.
Miss Charlotte G.. Titcomb, who has
been principal of st. MarY's Hall for a
long time, has rendered her resignation, to
take effect at the close of the present term.
This action caused much regret among
the patrons and pupils of the institution,
but Miss Titcomb's health compels the
action. This lady is one of the brightest
instructors in the country, and in addition
to her natural ability as an educator, the
Hall has had the benefit of the knowledge
obtained by extensive travel. St. Mary's
Hall has not suffered under the able man
agement of Miss Titcomb, who has been a
devoted and conscientious principal.
