youngest daughter. Mabel. has just passed through
this city, route to China by way Of the Pacific.
Lady Hart. who has lived in the Celestial Empire
for forty years, had interesting things TO
say about Chinese life when at the Hotel
Buckingham by Tribune reporter.

months holiday spent in England and Ireland. y
she said The Celestial Kingdom is splendid
country to live in after you get thoroughly ac-
customed 10 its ways. The best element Of the
Chinese are really charming people-clever, cour-
teous and hospitable With all its charms how
ever, forty years little bit long for European
to spend in Oriental country. 1t is probable
that my husband will resign from his post within
the next five years. and shall then return to
England for good.
TT has frequently been remarked that Sir Robert
and ! have contracted certain facial and mental
traits of the Chinese after being among them so
long" she continued smiling But. of course.

Lady Hart speaks not only Chinese and Japanese
