STOP FOOT BINDING.
Chinese Women Organize Club to I'M
prove Their Jnlerstanding-Re-
forms That Might Follow.

According to the North China Herald
there is a movement alCrg the Hoang-
Ho to improve the standing of Chinese
women. Tien Tsu Hui, the Society Of
the Natural Feet, has been established.
its sole purpose being the determination
of pedal slavery throughout the Celestial
kingdom. Its membership, as yet total
ly inadequate to expedite progress, is
composed, says the New York Herald
of native and foreign women. Its first
step toward reform is the publication
of its propaganda and a petition to for
eigners to aid in freeing Chinese women
from Notifying customs.
When you come right down to the
bottom of the matter it is time the
women of China were given a chance
to catch up with their western sisters
There is no reason on earth to believe
they are not naturally gifted with as
broad an understanding. The project
therefore, should not be footless. Ii
there is anything in the old saying.
"He who runs may read" their newfoot-
ing ought to affect their education.
1t is not anticipated that the innova.
ton will mean any marked difference in
the rhythm of Chinese poetry. 1t may.
however, cause confusion for future
anthropologists who concern themselves
with Chinese footprints on the sands Of
time.

The smart girl has a new use for
heavy silk cord. She is again demon
strating her cleverness by converting
it into a novel cOrsage-decoration. The
silk cord is thick and preferably black,
and here and there she sews to it big
black passementerie balls. These balls
are sometimes of silk. and sometimes
are studded with jet beads. To look
effective the cord should be at least
five yards long. She winds it loosely
about her neck, crossing it in the back,
and keeping n end longer than the
other; she does the same thing over
and over again, until she has four
loops arranged in festoon-fashion
over the front of her waist, with each
loop longer than the last. After she
has made four loops. she ties the two
ends at the left side in a bow, the ends
of which are either finished with black
silk tassels or passementerie balls.
This cord corsage-decoration gives a
touch of charm and newness to a plain
waist, and is a happy variation from
the bead chains.-Woman's Home
Companion.

COST OF CLOTHES IN RUSSIA
Men Pay About Seven and n Half Dol
lars n Year Ind the
Only Three.

Barring the inhabitants of the earth
who wear practically nc clothes at all
the costume of the average Russian
costs the least. Ten rubles, or about
$3.50. will clOthe a male citizen of the
cars realm, while the woman's cos
tune will cost less than SO.
The mans costume, says ar eX-
change, consists of coarse cottor
trousers tucked into boots of half
dressed leather. a cotton shirt, and &
sheepskin coat. A coarse Camlet
caften bound around with a sash com.
pletes the dress.
The women wear a sarafan. or Ions
petticoat, which is held up by straps
running over the shoulders, n chemist
with sleeves to the elbow, a kerchiet
over the head, and a pair of shoes
Stockings are sometimes worn, IN,
more frequently the legs and feet are
bound with strips of cotton or liner
cloth. For outdoor wear a quilted
jacket or long cloak is added.
The simplicity and cheapneas of the
dress is not due to any lack of vanity
but to the poor circumstances under
which the majority of the Russians
live.

A BATTLE IN Il AIR
SpnrrOws Attack n Host of Dragon
Flies and Are Put to IgnOmin-
iOus Flight.

The Hochi Of Tokyo prints the follow
ing wonderful tale: "On the 23d ult., at
four p. M, that part of airy space that
overcanopies a slope commonly called
Notoyazaka, which forms part of Uba-
gamimachi, in Yesashi, H~okkaido, be-
came the scene of sanguinary battle be-
tween hostile forces of winged creatures.
The combatants were 100 swallows on
the one side and millions of dragon flies
on the other. If inferior in number, the
swallows were certainly superior in in
tellectual and physical powers to their
opponents on the occasion in question,
as one would believe, and everybody had
mid-air contest.
But the unexpected happened, and
after charges and cCunterch9rges, and
other ae%ronautic movements ending in
at close quarter fGttiLg OF some dura~
ton, the swallows beat a bcsty retreat,
or rather disgraceG themselves by the
most confused ficht ever INDUCED in by
a vanquished ertmy. Th1n the v%ictori-
dragon flies flew about that partic-
ular portion of the sky with the unmis-
taxable air Of roble cC~CGerors, per-
forming all sorts of 'sgscrtiye' antics
which included airy crr3cOling, evolu-
lions, soarings, pluneing, etc, all suffi-
GENTLY significant and all tending to pro-
claim the fact of their urdisputed occu-
patton of the atmospheric superficies
over the Notoyazaka."
