| for dry grass with which to make a
tiny fire: of the morning struggle for
a portion Of the government rice and
tive duel between life and starvation
which the Chinese so dauntlessly en-
dure.
'tIn all this, I write of the best, and
not Of the worst. This is only the
first outpost of the famine district"
Speaking of the causes of the fam
ine-already comparatively well
known in this country-Mr. Ellis
says:
Heavy summer rains, the over
| flowing of the banks of all streams
and of the Grand Canal, simply food
ed the country and made of promising
rice and grain fields only a desert
waste of water. The crops were ut
terly ruined. 1t is of interest that in
this section of China wheat and l1aize
as well as rice are grown; that is why
| cornmeal and -four, the former even
the more acceptable of the two, is
the popular form of relief. The Chi
nese live closer to actual starvation
than it is possible for Westerner to
comprehend; they are always POOR.
So the failure of the crops-not to
mention the destruction of their
homes by flood-at once placed them
in state of actual restitution which
can only be relieved when the wheat
crop is harvested in July Mean
while, owing to lack of seed, only half
of the spring wheat crop has been
planted"
There are stories of cannibalism
too grewsome to write. Suffice it
that horror is piled upon horrors
head in Kianpeh until tho call for
outside help is as imperative as it is
justified.
These sufferers, under ordinary
conditions. are frugal, Clearly, hon
est, hardworking. They can wiring a
mere livelihood from their petty fields
in the best of times by the hardest
kind of work and in the mass are
noted for morality and decency of
life. Already the Christian Herald,
of New York, has sent $4,000 in
cash for the alienation of suffering,
and has pledged itself to the State
Department in Washington to fur
nish at least 100000 more. 1t can
only do this with the cooperation of
the American people. Hence the plea
for contributions, the transmission
and expenditure of which Is guarded
most carefully-as was the case with
the funds provided from the same
source for the famis1ed in Finland,
India, Russia, Japan and Cuba.

Five Gored Skirt.

The skirt made with a gathered

is just now greatly in style, while it
suits all the fashionable soft mate
rails perfectly we'll. Here is one that
is gored at the upper portion, and
that shows two flounces Joined one
to the other which give distinctly
novel effect. In the illustration the
material is one of the pretty new
foulards in shades of brown and

Is appropriate, the model being
equally well suited to washable ma
terials and to those of silk, wool and
the various mixtures.

consequently, quite certain to be in
demand. The tucks provide just suf-
ficient fitness to be becoming, and
the sleeves are in the most satisfac-
tory length, that is, extending just
below the elbows.
The waist is made with lining
that consists of fronts and backs. If
this lining Is desired, fitted darts are
taken up in the fronts, but If it is to
be used in the guimpe style these are
omitted. When the waist is made all
In one the lining is faced to form
the yoke and the blouse is arranged
over it. When a separate yoke is de-
sired the lining is cut off for por-
ton of it's length, and is adjusted IN
der the waist, which can be either
unlined or made over foundation
as liked. In any case the blouse pro-
per consists of the front and the
backs, with the moderately full
sleeves that are finished with wide
bands.
The quantity of material required
for the medium size is three and
half yards twenty-one, three yards

ter yards forty-four inches wide, with
one and three-quarter yards of velvet
ribbon and three-quarter yard of all

Scraggy Feathers.

The taste for certain uncouth
scraggy feathers is dying out. On
the other hand very long couteaux
are again to the fore. Eagles and
argus plumes rank highest, but they
have become so rare and are there
fore so costly that they are not in
frequent use, and the long tail feath-
ers of the cock pheasant generally
take their place. These are some
times appliqued with little patches
of small plumage initiating the mark
ings and eyes of those of the eagle or
argus or merely as a means of giving
them additional color.

African Hospitality.

Hospitality may be considered as
one of the characteristics of not only
the Veis, but of the whole African
race. 1t is considered the duty of
every citizen to entertain strangers
without the smallest compensation.
Places of rest stand open, and
when these are found occupied by
strangers a man goes and tells his
wife, who will send her servants with
water for the strangers to wash their
feet, for, as they wear no shoes, they
naturally need such an accommoda-
ton. Afterward rooms and cloth
wrappers are given them, food is
brought from all quarters or they are
invited to eat with the people. They
continue to be so provided for even
II they stay months. Their garments
are also washed and returned to
them. On leaving they generally
make a small gift to the wife of the
host, though not more than two or
three coin nuts or two or three Eng
lish pcnnies.-Centary.
