"And what did you see there"
"They had chairs covered with old

out of perforated cardboard, and one

it. Needn't tell me people like that are

THE FASHIONS.

More than ever are waists fastened
up the back and worn by the owners
of graceful and slender figures.
The position will be attached to the
back of some of the new black Eton
jackets for wear during the Lenteu
season.
The tailor gowns for early spring
will be more and more like the French
rather than the English version of a
typical tailor suit.
Gowns of white or opal gray broad
cloth, with fur, lace and silk applique
garnitures, are just now very much in
evidence at all smart functions in New
York, Washington and other large
cities.
A feature observable in a survey Of
some of the springs advance models
that are now held in allegiance is that
tucking will still be used as a decora-
ton during both the summer and spring
seasons.
Round velvet hats worn by young
women with handsome calling gowns
are decorated with short, full ostrich
plumes, out of which rises a soft feath-
er chou with antennn of some vivid or
delicate color.
Black, which has been so popular SO
long, will not pass from favor in the
making of spring tailor suits and demi-
dress gowns Of peau de sole, French
cashmere, failles and Muscovite silk.
Two or tbran handsome shades af
brown and gray are to be in vogue,
but marked favor will be shown to
green.-New York Post.

HOW THEY SELL SHOES IN
CANTON.
You may have the idea that all The
Chinese are poor and that most OF
them 10 harefooted. Come with me
through one Of the shoe streets Of Cam
ton. We shall visit hundreds of stores
which sell nothing else. There are
enough shoes In one OF these streets to
shoe all the girls Of Chicago, but If
the said girls came here to be fitted
they would have to buy mems shoes,
and not women's This would be the
case With any American girl, old or
young, big or little. The Chinese have
naturally very small feet. They are
among natures aristoorats as far as
delicacy OF form is concerned, and the
girls who work IN the fields have feet
surpasslng those Of Venus In beauty.
The ladies' shoes are so little that the
SIMPLEST woud hardly hold a Yankee
glyls fist much less her foot They are
made of the finest OF satin and are
often embroidered In gold,
The mems shoes are not unlike Slip

men and women. The shoes have no

THE INDUSTRIES OF A CHINESE
CITY,
Every shoe store Is also shoe fac
tory. The most Of the goods made In
China are turned out by hand, and
there Is a vast amount Of home and
shop industry. AZ the back OF the store
men are pastlng, sewing and stitching
ON the shoe soon TO be sold at the
frort This Is so all over the city, each
establishment making a large part OF
the goods which II sells.
Let us 20 into one Of the rice streets.
At the front Of each store are great
baskets made Of bamboo each holding
from ten b. twenty bushels OF grain,
while In the rear are the cleaning and
hulling mills. We hear the thud, thud,

There are but few policemen either
day or night, and the order on the
streets is excellent. The police call out
the hours as they go their rounds af-
ter dark.
They make the night hideous by
clapping sticks and gongs TO show
that they are awake, and possibly to
warn thieves of their approach. The
police stations are immense wooden
boxes not unllks coal storage boxes;
they are placed along the sides OF the
streets, and In them the policemen lie
down to rest not few sleeping on
their posts as do our policemen at

CHINESE OF ALL CLASSES.
In fact I find the Chinese decidedly
human They have about the same
classes as In the United States, and
they are moved by much Che same
springs of action. Canton Is made up
