until a Chinese tael, q coin about the siss
OF a silver dollar, can be hidden In this
groove. The first two years OF this pro-
cess are terrible.
In China fashions do not ehange 50
readily as among the Americans, but |
am told that the reaction against foot
binding is general. and that large per.
eentage OF the girls whose feet would
have been bound during the last two
years are growing up naturally and able
to romp and play like other little girls.
One OF the great evils Of unbinding the
feet Is that after the detormity Of the
foet Is attained the unfortunate must
suffer great pain u the bandages are re-
moved. 1t has. however, In many In
stances been done slowly and the women
can now walk, and say they suffer no
pain.

against waist lacing, which Is a greater
menace to the human race than foot bind
ing. 1t shocks a Chinese woman just as
much to see a laced waist as it does a
Caucasian to look at bound foot.
The Emperor Shun Chih. who reigned
from 1644 to 1862, issued an edict against
this fashion, positively prohibiting 1t, but

since the year OF your calendar. $40, I'M
der the last Emperor OF the Sung dynas-
ty. This Emperor had a beautiful wife,
who delighted to please him by dancing.
To make her feet look more beautiful,
she used to bind them with strips OF satin
until they resembled a crescent moon or
a bent bow. Thus the fashion began.
During more than a thousand years 1t
became general, and what was intended
FIRST for beauty became a detormity.
The methods OF binding in vogue In
China and the period OF commencing the
practice vary, but the bandages are ap-
piled at from to s years of age. The
general process consists Of two stages. \
piece Of strong cotton cloth, about two
yards long and three inches wide, is first
bound around the foot. leaving the great
toe free, and doubling the others under
the sole so that the toes Of the right foot
peep out under the left or inner side Of
the foot, and the same method is reversed
for the left. This reduces the width.
Each succeeding day the bandage is
frightened both morning and night. For
many months after the binding is com
menced the little girl Is compelled to run
up and down on her aching feet to pre-
vent modification Of the flesh and ten
dons setting in.
This process OF binding continues for
one year. The next stage is the shorten.
ing Of the length. The bangages are
then so arranged as to draw the feshy
part Of the foot and the heel close to-
gether. When accomplished deep

foot and the heel, somewhat the shape

to be an Englishman and forced to
serve. No doubt many Of those who
were impressed were really British de-
serters; but many others were Ameri.
can citizens, and the compuIslon to
serve on British ships was wrong.
The diary OF Captain Hoffman of the
Royal Navy. which has been published
under the title of "A Sailor of King
George" contains a story Of masquer-
ade which must have been amusing
from British point Of view.
Hoffman had been sent to a house In
Jamaica where able-bodied seamen
were reported to be in hiding. When
the party entered the house they
found three sloyenly females sitting by
a table darning stockings Near by

the bed, also covered with a net, was
a woman lying III. Still another wom-
an was near the bed. persuadlng the
invalid to take the contents of a bot

The lieutenant assured them that he
entered with reluctance upon the duty
he had to perform, but as he had In
formation that seamen frequently the

A coxswaln who had been examln-

Another British sailor whispered that
the baby in ths cradle was the largest
he had ever seen. Thereupon the door
was locked and the officers insisted on
knowing who the women were. Hoff-

was a fine young seaman about twen-
ty-six years old, who, when he was de-

seeing that they were outnumbered,
they surrendered.
