Queue Not Aii-iN5artsrs

Washington.-Discu the Ques-
tion of the Importance Of the queue"
in the economics Of China, Sir Chen
tung Liang- -Cheng Chinese Minister,
has this to say
There Is great deal of misappre-
hension among Western people re-
garding the Chinamans queue. Stor-
les have circulated for years that the
loss of the queue meant ostracism to
a Chinaman in his own country and
eternal perdition hereafter. That is
not true.
There is nothing in the Chinese
religion nor morals, nor in the require.
ments of the Government, affecting the
habit of queue wearing. 1t is entirely
a matter Of individual custom and
preference. The Chinese wear queues
because of centuries of habit Many
Chinese. even in China, have cut off
their queues without excl ting remark.
In Mexico the Chinese, as a rule,
are discarding their Oriental habits
and costumes and intermarrying with
the Mexicans. They cut off their
queues, become Mexican citizens and
are fast becoming important factors
in the development of that country.
The Chinese Government has no OBJ.
lection whatever to this, and. in fact,
takes pride in seeing its people inter.
mingle with those of other countries.
The prejudces of old times are fast
wearing away"

How Being Tilted Benefits Girl.

A normal woman should not be
soured by being Tilted. She would
only be little wiser, little better
able to Judge between the true and
tn false afterward. She would not be
SO ready to trust all men, but would
have just as much faith in the one
man as ever should she love again, for
faith and hope and love are the nat
ural heritage of the normal woman.
These qualities are as much part Of
her as life itself.
The wise girl however, recognizes
that it is better to be Tilted before mar
riage than neglected afterwards. She
may love him dearly, and yet willingly
give him up on hearing that his heart
has changed towards her. Probably
the worst sorrow girl can know
would be hers, with the knowledge
that his heart had gone from her to
another But even then, If she truly
loves, she would not feel bitter tow
ards him.

In one respect the women of to-day
are approaching the angelic standard
namely, in stature. Angels, as
shown in pictures, are always tall.
The aureole and wings, 1t is to be
feared, are beyond reach. Another
popularity of the heavenly mes
sengers, which earthly young ladies'
are not likely to initiate. is that they
never wear shoes-not even sandals.
SO far as their fair hair is concerned,
it may be counterfeited with the help
of peroxide, but, If Prof. Mason's
theory be correct, the time is not far
distant when real blonde will be
such a rarity that artists who paint
angels will have trouble to oDua,n a
satisfactory model.

The Women of Korea.

We can hardly realize the servil-
ity of the oriental women. In Korea,
SO deeply sunk in superstition are
the people, that women are actually
held responsible for the crimes of
their husbands, fathers and sons, and
they have no rights before the law.
A woman, for instance cannot OBJ
tain divorce from her husband, how
ever cruel he may be, but for the
most trivial reason he can secure a
separation. Only women of the low
er classes are allowed on the public
streets and even they must cover
their faces. Women are allowed to
take no part in anything but druid

two young men employed as bell boys at

owned by Elizabeth Yates, a guest at the

and owned by Ethel Byan, were arraigneJ

AS bell boys the defendants had access to
the rooms of the hotel, and they took the
property from one of the rooms. Ii was
later recovered from the pawnbroken,
who had loaned the young men money or
the jewelry. Instead of making a fight
against conviction, the boys decided TO plead
guilty and threw themselves the mercy
of the court. Owing to the fact that the
prosecuting witnesses did not care to fight
the case and were willing to recommend
light sentence in view of the good past
record of the offenders, Judge Scott imposed
