LIFE IN THE TROPICS HAS ITS DRAWBACKS

discounted when presented at a branch | of the same bank in another city. | Throughout the Malay states the Cht-
 nese are conspicuous as money leud- CTS, but at Singapore they come into
 competition with the Indians. who are l their superiors in this line of business. At Colombo we saw no Chinese at all. We have found the American mis- sionary everywhere. but his work | among the Malays is less promising l than anywhere else. Missionary work has been quite successful among the Chinese in the Malay archipelago and among the Tamils at Singapore, but nearly all the Malays are Mohamme-
 dans, and while they believe in one prophet, they believe the author of their religion to have been superior teacher.
 In travelling one has an opportunity to study human nature in all It's phases, and in an extended trip meets representatives of all the nations. The North German Lloyd has line run ming from Yokohama to Bremen (this
 line, I may add, makes it possible for
 one to go from San Francisco to New
 York within two months, with but
 two changes of boat. and still stop long
 enough at the principal ports to learn
 something of the cities and the people);
 we went from Singapore to Colombo
 on one of the boats of this line. Be-
 sides a few Americans. Germans and Hollanders, and still larger numbAr of English there were several Japan ese en route for Europe, and Russian officers and soldiers returning from Japan We made some agreeable ac- uuaintances among the company. as 1t is possible to do on every voyage, but just before leaving the boat at Colombo we came into contact with a tourist who belonged to the genus hog.
 Our boat arrived between and in the evening, and the porters informed us that the hotels were full, but that We could obtain rooms In the morning as a number would leave on our shlp. stated the case to tho captain ana he assured me that we were welcome to remain on board until morning, Just as my wife and daughter were retiring a man came on board. followed by a lot of baggage, and directed his porter to put it in our room. l explained to him that, not being able to ind ac- commodations on shore, we had obtain ed permission to occupy the room until morning. but he brusquely replied that he had engaged the room two months before and must have it. I called his attention to the fact that the boat was late in reaching port and would not leave until nearly noon the next day, and suggested as politely as I could that the captain was the proper person to decide whether he was entitled to claim the room under the circum- stances. Without consulting the cap tain he went to the steward and de- manded that the ladies be moved to another room, although another room was placed at his disposal for the night. It required some plain. straight forward and emphatic language to bring him to the point where he was
 willing to occupy a different room temporarily. and I am afraid that he still regards Americans as very rude

No Better Than Ours.


 One of the most pathetic things about American women in Paris, though, is the way tradespeople victimize them. In the first place, most American wo- men have illusions about Paris shops. They think everything must be better. whether it is or not. Half the time they can buy the same things at nome better and cheaper without the bother of carting them around and lodging the custom house people. It really takes a clever mind to discriminate between the bargains and those which are not hThen another thing, women often buy things in Paris which they would die rather than make frights of themselves by wearing at home.
 Take the case of a woman I know. She Is enormously fat. Of course the empire gown is the smart evening gown here Well, she made up her mind she couldn't go back to America without one of them to show she was up to date So behold her looking like a sack of meal in a pale gray affair end ing under the armpits and with chif- ion streamers tied over the oust. Shades of Paduin! She will never in the world wear that more than once in practical America, for our country women don't take kindly to those loose, picturesque styles which demand a carriage. And, besides, the dress is not becoming 10 her. So she will look doubly outlandish in 1t.
 AS she paid a good fat price for the creation--it Is a creation--the chances are that if she had been given the same amount of money to spend in America she would have bought two sensible pretty gowns which at least she could have worn without making herself ap- pear ridiculous.
 It is the same thing with hats. Of course here they are worn excessively small, so small that they are perched on one side, and the other side Of the pompadour is puffed out to give the

As she herself placed no store upon them, she had given permission to m old woman who cleaned up her studio to appropriate any drawings she might find on the floor Even at that time she had made several rough sketcnes of the famous picture which were, as usual, left on the floor.

"Am in the Family"

The old story of keeping things in the family is recalled by the admis- sion of Mrs. Ella Knowles Haskell or Butte, Mont, to practice in the su- nreme Court of the United States. In 1892, as Ella Knowles. she was the Populist candidate for Attorney General of Montana and was defeated by Henry J. Haskell. Republican. After the eiec- tion the successful and defeated ean- didates shook hands and were married and Attorney General Haskeh madS Mrs Haskell Assistant Attorney Gen. eral Later they were divorced and Mrs. Haskell has since practieed law independently.

Only to Think of It!

My dear. if you promise not to tell
 it was the most awful performance you ever saw in your life! There was one woman--te hee. e hee--who had cos tume--te hee, to hee--well, I never saw anything like it! And they came ou' and sang a song. and there we four women sat three rows from the stage with everybody looking at us, we were giggling so. and the verses got so aw- fully decollete that we absolutely put up our punches of violets in front of our faces. It must have looked killing those four fat punches of violets go- ing up all at once I never had such d time in my life. When I tell my best friend at home she won't believe me-
 And yet month or so later the same people go home together. The pepper and salt tourist suits are discarded.

Well. wo- men buy these hats here and percn them craxywise SO that they look all right in Paris, but when they go home they will be mobbed on the street 1T they wear them at the same angle. Ihe result is they will set them on straight and give the appearance of having hats too small for their heads.

Do as the Romans Do.

The proof is that whca Americans are in their own country they frown se- verely lat anything risque in conversa- tion, plays or pictures. but after they have been in Paris a week-oh me; oh my. They are certainly bent on do- ing the town, and nothing escapes them.
 You would never dream they were the same people that started off in re- spectable pepper and salt tailor mades to see the museums and art galleries.
 After the first week or so the mu- seunas are left to themselves, while the former serious party is transformed in- to a giggling band of delightfully."- ex- hilarated and shocked people. From that moment 1t Is not merely a ques- ton of doing as the Romans, but of outdoing them.
 They trail into all sorts of places. the wilder and the woolier the better. places even French people wouldn't dream of goingto. They drink 'aperitifs" on the sidewalk and go to the Bal Tabarin and--but there isn't space on this pa per to enumerate the sights they take in which are not in the guidebook.
 Sunday afternoon--it is two weeks since their arrival-you miss them en- tirely from the mat, to use slangism.

It was the entire trimming Of my hat.
 But why let this trifle worry one. It is the national characteristic. Ev- erythtug is for effect, and the effect IS easily and gracefully gained without the trouble of going down deep into either the seriousness of lie or the straw of the hat, as the case may be.
 We are d serious nation. We go down deep into everything.
 We are great on foundations. We dig so deep that we can put thirty odd stories above ground, but when 1t comes to the ornamentation of the buiIding-that is a different matter. Our hands are rather heavy.
 Our sewing never comes apart, but we travel to Paris for frocks that are so distractingly fetching that we are willing to go to the nuisance of remak- ing every seam, if necessary.
 It's the same way with everything Talk of the immortal tone oe the French stage productions! It isn't immortality it is pure childishness.
 Everything makes the French laugh the most sacred, the most shocking phases of life. Life is all joke. which they enjoy hugely from the cradle tc the grave.
