BREACH OF FAITH CHARGED.
Japan Has Failed to Return Prevert
of China.


Mukden. May 1.-THE repeated
promises made by the Japanese for the
past three years to return TIC China
the property appropriated through the
exigencies of war. are still unfulfill-
ed.
In consequence of this China is ex-
pressing much indignation at what is
considered gross breach of faith. Yet
the recovery is considered doubtful OF
a large amount OF government and
private property in numerous places
throughout Manchuria which was ap-
propriated by Japan without compen-
sation on the sole pretext that China
had failed to observe neutrality in al
lowing Russia to occupy these build
ings, mines and land. This action Is
not considered honest because Japan
is fully aware of Chinas helpfessness
to enforce neutrality while Japan in
regard to abuse of neutrality Is con-
sidered equally guilty.
Russia holds much appropriated
property which has been leased to
Japanese traders without ANY compen-
sation to China

A NOUei English Key Rack

The English custom OF a key rack 20
hang in the hall, and wherein all the
keys of the household are suspended, is
fast gaining favor in American country
houses. A pretty and novel sort, an I'm
provement on the plain square Of wood
covered with hooks, is made as follows.
Obtain a piece Of wood about an inch
and a quarter square, the length be-
ing determined by the number Of keys
it is 10 hold. and paint, stain or en-
amel it, On the under side screw small
brass hooks for the keys TO hang upon
and suspend from the wall by a piece OF
ribbon with a bow on the top. At each
end OF the wood fasten a rosette Of rio
bon with streamers hanging down. The
wood Will look very well painted white,
and il is a good plan 70 paint, in ColOrs
TO match the ribbons, the names Of the
keys above the hooks on which they are
10 hang. Tasseled cords might be used
instead of the ribbon already suggested.
The former, in fact, would be more SER
Viceable, inaSmuCh as IL would not re-
quire renewing quite so often.
A good use Tor this rack would be to
have the various members Of the fam
Ny hang their door keys upon teach
person having a separate marked hook
when returning home for the night.
Thus the last person in would be able
TO bolt the doOr-a cause OF confusion
IN many families.

Personalities About
Public Persons

Why is 1t that those who are con-
stantly before the public should be so
often considered as public property? The
prominent politician, the weil-known
millionaire. the popular author-most OF
all, the famous actor or actress-haYe
practically no private life. Their homes.
their families, the manner of their Nv
ing. all their personal affairs, are freely
discussed and commented upon.
Worse, still, no one hesitates in the
least 10 repeat any runors, however
vague. that might In any way reflect
upon them. What Mr.. Millionaire had
for dinner and the shameful way IN
which Madame Prima Donna treated
her maid are the talk Of every tea table
in the land.
The mere fact that a man or woman
has more money. more good looks. or
more brains than the rest Of US, is no
excuse for this impertinent gossip The
more serviceable a man IS 10 his cOun-
try, the raoTe does he lay himself open
70 this interference, which sometimes
even takes the form Of advice.
1t is bad enough TO think Of the thou
sands OF persons who actually beg from
every man of wealth for the most incon-
ceivable objects, OF the hordes OF silly
women who PROSTATE themselves before
every matinee idol. but this wholesale
condemnation. is even worse than whole
sale aduiauion- The scandal-mOuger and
the busy-body are nuisances. no matter
with whom they concern themselves.

To Wash China

The proper way 10 wash delicate
china il TO have two bowls, one with
warm, soapy water and the other fill
ed with cold water to rinse them in.
Take the cups and saucers one by one
and wash them in the warm, sOapy
water, rinse well in the cold water, then
let them drain on a BOARD or tray.
Dry the china with a soft linen glass
cloth 10 give it a good polish. For cups,
saucers and dainty plates washing soda
is rarely needed in the water, and II
there should be much gilt in the pat
tern OF the china II should never be
used, as soda has a most injurious ef-
feet on gilt, causing it to rub of alto
gether.
Surprising the cups are stained by
cold tea or coffee being left In them,
after pouring IL away rub the inside OF
the cup with a little salt. and when
washed afterward the stain viii dis
appear.
There ought 70 be a china cupboard
in every house in which TO keep the
china and glass.
Ii should be fitted with shelves and
there should also be small hooks placed
along the edge Of each shelf on which

ZELPS FOR THE MID-lAY LUNCHEON HOSTESSI
Etiquette of Bowing

There are very distinct rules In regard
10 the etiquette Of bowing-rules as 10
when 20 bow. and when not 10 bow.
and also as TO the manner of bowling.
One OF the first rules Is that man must
wait for a lady 10 recognize him, al
though between friends the act Of bow
ing Is almost simultaneous. When re-
turning lady's bow a man takes off his
hat and replaces il quickly. When
meeting or leaving a lady or when he
passes her on the stairway or In the
corridor of a theater, or when he offers
any small courtesy in public convey
ance, he raises his hat. He removes his
hat in a hotel elevator when a woman
enters. In the elevators of large busi-
ness buildings this rule does not seem
to hold.
A man raises his hat when passing a
friend who is accompanying lady, al
though she may not be known TO him.
When he is with lady who bows TO an
acquaintance he must raise his hat.
When bowling, IL is not customary TO
mention the name of the person one is
quaintances several times when driving
or walking, IL is not necessary to bow
more than once.
Picture galleries are regarded as pub
lie thOroughfares, and in them man
retains his hat. OF course If a lady
bows TO him or If he is introduced to
anyone there he raises his hat as he
would in the street
When a woman receives some trihing
ciVility from a man whom she does not
know, she thanks him with bow and
smile at the moment. and he raises his
hat in acknowledgement; but If she
meets him subsequently and he has
never been introduced, IL would be in
correct for her to bow TO him. knowing
a person by sight does not constitute
an acquaintance and does not give any
one right 70 bow.
A man, when driving, cannot con-
veniently raise his hat; therefore, Ell
Quette requires that he shall bend for
ward and raise his whip TO the brim
OF his hat in acknowledgment OF a SAL
utatiOn.
Although a mere bowling acquaintance
may be Jiresome TO continue between
those who meet frequently when walk
ing yet have not opportunities of meet
ing elsewhere, IL would not be courteous
10 abandon what has been begun. An
other point of etiquette is that Il would
be extremely discourteous not TO return
a bow.
Bows may be described as friendly or
cordial ceremonies or deferential, dis
tant or reluctant, according to the man.
ner in which we wish TO greet acquaint-
ances. but a bow must be polite always.
| No doubt. there are some persons who
! seem 10 bow coldly when they have no
| intention of doing so. Near-sighted per-
sons must have allowances made for
them on this score. Others may be alb
sent-minded diffident or awkward, but
/ when we meet a friend who bows cor
daily, gTaCiOusly and gracefully. the
action shows US that there Is an art in
! bowling, and II is well worth while TO
practice It.

Hint as TO Pledfed Shirts

The pleated skirts so much in vogue
just now often become a source Of trial.
If the pleats are marked and basted
carefully in each gore before the skirt
Is put together, making will be greatly
simplded. The edges Of the cores
should be pinned together, making them
even at top and bottom, before bast-
edge or the other will stretch a bit.
