BOTH HAD a REASON
Success.

o
WI Ting Fang, until recently the Chi
nese ambassador to the United States, had
that same characteristic which made his
famous cOuntryman Ii Hung Chang, the
subject of 50 much newspaper comment
when he visited this country. He had a
penchant for asking questions of every
one he met, ON all sorts of subjects and
under all sorts fof conditions. At one of
the White House receptions Mr.. WI was
the center of interest in the great east
room. Every person present was glad to
be presented to him, and from his ques-
ton box he brought query for each.
Among the guests was DR.. Mary Walker,
not unknown because of her adherence to
male attire. Mr.. WI had heard of her.
but seemed surprised when she was in
troduced.
Looking keenly at her attire, he almost
gasped: .'You are a LADY,"
Yes" responded DR.. Walker.
Then why do you wear mems clothes ~
DR.. Walker noted<the skirts of Mr.. wus
costume and inquired: You are a mann
Yes answered the diplomat.
"Then why do you wear women's
clothes?"
Because the custom OF my country re-
quires me to- he answered, triumphantly
DR.. Walker retorted, with toss of het
head: well, the freedom of my country
permits me to wear these clothes.p
